Last Tuesday Tania Llasera was the mother of her first child whom she named José Bowie Vilar Llasera , in tribute to the late British singer David Bowie. The first name was already thought out “I love the name Pepe,” said the Mediaset presenter, but decided that she would take a middle name, Bowie, after learning of the death of the singer, whom she deeply admired.
We already know how celebrities influence the trend of baby names, how many Elvis or Michael have there been after the death of these icons? Undoubtedly José Bowie joins the list of rare names of famous children, but we also smell that Bowie may become the baby name of the year .

A rare combination
Curious, no doubt. Not so much giving your baby the name of the idol you admire, which there are many cases of those, as combining it with “José” a simple name, one of those of a lifetime. “Pepe Bowie”, how do you see it?
But she is not the only famous one who plays strange combinations. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their first daughter North and with that last name, you will tell me, “North West”. It looks like a compass mark, not a girl.
Also David and Victoria Beckham created a strange compound name when their daughter Harper Seven was born. The first, because they liked him, the second because of the time he was born, because he weighed 7 pounds and because of the number that Beckham played for Manchester United.
The name Bowie, what does it mean?
David Bowie was the stage name of the British singer, not his real name which was David Robert Jones. The meaning of Bowie , of Gallic origin, is “the one with yellow hair” so the artist probably got it from there.
So now you know, if you are expecting a boy and you think he will be blonde, add Bowie to the list of boy names that will be trending this 2016.
Bowie Penguin
And of course, after the musical icon has left, the name Bowie begins to sound among those who come into the world, whether they are babies or animals. In the zoo in Cincinnati, Ohio, a penguin was born whom they named Bowie because it arrived on January 8, the day of the singer’s birthday . Its plumage reminds us a bit of some of its chameleonic looks …
Thanks to the penguin, children who visit the zoo will be able to find out who David Bowie was. Tania Llasera’s son will also know, although we do not know if he will be very happy to wear it.
