南非寶寶取名瞄準"世界杯"

Anele Ntshinga could hardly contain her excitement when she gave birth to a baby girl just 10 minutes after the opening match of the South Africa World Cup. As a big fan of the South African team, the new mother named her daughter "Fifa," after the sporting body FIFA that governs world soccer. "I will be more than happy to explain it to her the day she asks: 'Mommy, why do I have such an unusual name?' "

　　阿內(nèi)勒在首場比賽開賽10分鐘后喜得千金，作為南非球隊的超級球迷，這位新媽媽給女兒起名FIFA（國際足聯(lián)的英文縮寫）。她說：“我多么樂于在女兒長大后向她描述這個名字的由來。”

　　In Bloemfontein, Charl and Riana Reinhardt gave birth to twins, whom they named "Bafana" (the nickname of the South Africa team) and "Mexico". New parents also named their babies after stadiums or "Soccer City".

　　布隆方丹的卡爾夫婦給雙胞胎分別取名“Bafana”（南非球隊的昵稱）和“Mexico”（世界杯首場比賽是東道主對戰(zhàn)墨西哥）。還有父母以球場或“Soccer City”（足球之城）等名稱給寶寶起名。
