Creepy Name Game

[Blind Gossip] When you join a new group, it’s smart to try to assimilate with your new team mates.

This guy may have crossed the line.

He joined a new professional sports team. The big star athlete on the team has a famous wife. She has an uncommon name. If you just mentioned her first name, everyone would know who you were talking about. Like Mariah. Or Oprah.

Anyway, the new team mate really wants the big star athlete on the team to like him. Right after he joined the team, he named his new baby the same uncommon name as the star’s famous wife. We don’t know if the two events are related… but the Star and his wife sure seem to think so!

They’re not flattered. They think it’s a little creepy. Dude is just trying too hard. Did he think this will make them like him? But what are they supposed to do? Tell him to change his baby’s name? They can’t do that.

    Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen?

    My own first name seems a little old fashioned. Not as common as it used to be. But that’s fine with me.

  8. heloveshim says

    Stephon Gilmore and his wife named their new baby Gisele.

    I seriously doubt it was to name it after Brady’s wife. Get real. They’re so f-ing delusional lol NOBODY CARES, cheater.

  9. saskmom says

    Stephon Gilmore joined the Patriots and named his baby Gisele.

    Athlete: Tom Brady

    His Famous Wife: Gisele Bundchen

    Star Athlete: Tom Brady

    New acquired CB Stephon Gilmore just named his baby daughter Gisele. She was born the day he signed with the Patriots. Weird

    Optional: It is, just not in the English speaking world!

  12. andragon says

    Stephon Gilmore was signed by the Patriots and named his baby (born on the day of the signing) Gisele.
    Star Athlete: Tom Brady
    Famous Wife: Gisele Bunchen

  14. sororityhouse says

    Stephon Gilmore, Patriots, and baby Gisele.

    Of course Tom Brady & Gisele think this is about them… ? Please. It’s a pretty name, also a famous ballet.

  16. fufufrankie says

    This could only be the conceited Russell Wilson and his exhibitionist wife, Ciara. Wilson has gotten too big for his britches since he divorced and hooked up with Ciara. They need to take a few seats because the world doesn’t revolve around them. Baby’s name probably has zero to do with Mrs Wilson. What inflated egos.

    My name is one that has many spellings and I am okay with that.

  19. soon always says

    Russell Wilson & Ciara.
    My name’s common but not ubiquitous, I’m good with that.

  23. The Divine Miss N says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele
    Stephon Gilmore
    NE Patriots

    I think its a little strange but maybe they didn’t think it was a big deal. Even if they did name the baby after Gisele, who really care. I think it’s a beautiful name!

    I have a uncommon name, not super unique, and I love it! Always the only one with the name and people actually know how to pronounce 🙂

  25. smileyriot says

    Tom Brady

    Giselle

    I love that my name is common enough it’s never mispronounced or misspelled, but rare enough that I don’t know 50 other people with the same name.

  27. iamnumber21 says

    Gisele and Tom Brady. dunno about the new team mate..

    I want a unique name just like my favorite musician or actor or athlete as well 🙂

    giselle
    (stephon gilmore)
    no, i’ve got a great first name! old-fashioned but pretty

  31. eryncuz88 says

    Tom Brady married to Giselle. New Patriot Stephon Gilmore named his baby Giselle.

    My name is Eryn, and I love/hate the unique spelling.

  32. Arianna1 says

    Tom Brady and Gisele.

    I wish my name was more common. It’s very unusual and I’ve never liked it.

  33. Camila says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele Bündchen

    I like my name is common. I’m from Brazil and Gisele is common as well. I even have a cousin with the name.

  34. Eris says

    Star Athlete: Tom Brady
    His Famous Wife: Gisele Bündchen

    Oh please, as if the world revolves around them. Stephon Gilmore’s son is named after him and apparently he and his wife wanted the daughter’s name to start with a G like her mother’s, Gabrielle. No big deal.

  42. iknewit says

    Stephon Gilmore just named his baby after Tom Brady’s wife Gisele.

    I have an uncommon name and I don’t like meeting people with the same name. It’s just too weird after a lifetime of being the only person I know with my name.

  46. cayle1220 says

    Stephon Gilmore the new cornerback for the Patriots named their baby Gisele (after Tom Brady’s wife). It’s related… somebody wants somebody to like them…

  47. lazyninja says

    Star Athlete: Tom Brady
    Famous Wife: Gisele Bundchen

    Optional: My name is pretty unique (at least where I come from), which I hated as a kid, but now I’m pretty appreciative to my mother 🙂

  49. mermaidh2 says

    Steve Gilmore named his baby Gisele the same day he signed to the Cheatriots. Weird.

    My name is Haley and I’m 34. When I was born, it was really uncommon. Now it’s super popular and I hate that.

  50. MrsGosling says

    Stephon Gilmore named his daughter “Giselle,” which is the name of Tom Brady’s wife.

  53. themomica says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele

    When I was younger I wanted more common so I could find things with my name on it. Now I like being unique

  54. bandida says

    Stephen gilmore

    They should get over themselves. Gisele isn’t an uncommon name. I also don’t think of Tom Brady wife when I hear that name. It’s nothing like Oprah or Madonna.

  56. PrettyInPink84 says

    Star athlete: Tom Brady
    His famous wife: Giselle
    Totally creepy unless they genuinely liked the name.

  59. algarve2016 says

    Tom Brady

    Giselle Bundchen

    My name is uncommon in the US and common in Portugal. I like it 🙂

  62. Grande Queso says

    Gisele. There is a new Patriot who signed on this week from the Bills that named his daughter Gislele.

  63. bellashade says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele Bundchen

    New teammate named his baby Gisele… It’s definitely a little odd. Beautiful name though!

    My name was VERY common among my peers. My kids have at least 4 friends whose moms have the same first name as me. I can’t imagine having a different name, but I definitely wished for something more unique as a child.

  65. Tamtam says

    Star: Tom Brady
    Wife: Gisele
    Teamate: Stephon Gilmore named new daughter Gisele after getting signed with Patriots.

    Option: Dont see my name alot. And I’m cool with that.

  66. beastyboo says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele

    Guy who plays for the pats just called his daughter the same name. Google search tells me his name is Stephon Gilmore

  71. with a twist says

    Star Athlete: Tom Bradt

    His Famous Wife: Giselle

    New teammate Stephon Gilmorr named his daughter Giselle as well. It IS kinda creepy.

  72. JoshuaTree says

    Stephon Gilmore just named his new daughter Gisele.

    Tom Brady & Gisele

    Baby was born the day he signed with the Patriots

  73. High Steppa says

    Tom Brady and his wife Gisele. Stephon Gilmore named his new baby Gisele. My name is very unique – my mother was originally born in another country and I have a name common in that country. I shorten it to a nickname that is common here. I like the uniqueness but no one ever spells it correctly!

  74. emmbee says

    Tom Brady’s new teammate just named his baby Gisele.

    Optional: My name is common enough that it’s not bizarre, but also uncommon enough that I don’t know many others with my name. I like it!

  76. Goodgrief says

    Tom Brady and his wife Gisele, new Patriots player Stephon Gilmore named his new daughter Gisele. I have a unique name. Was the only one with it all through school. Back then I hated it, I just wanted a normal name like everyone else. Now I like it and it’s not so unique. But seriously who would name their baby Goodgrief?

  77. mflag77 says

    Brady, giselle, and stephon gilmore – totally bizarre move btw..

    no – i like my name 🙂

  81. NYCMEL says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele Bundchen
    Stephon Gilmore, new (overpriced, not as good as Malcolm Butler) cornerback names his new daughter Gisele.

  82. pigerella says

    Tom Brady
    Gisele

    These two irritate the h*** out of me! Ugh.

    I like my first name just fine, common or not.

  83. qnbee1022 says

    Star Athlete: Brady

    His Famous Wife: Gisele.

    The name is nice, but they are so unlikable that I would not want my daughter named after her.

  85. KatarinaJ says

    new Patriot cornerback who named his daughter Gisele. I know several Giseles myself. maybe they just liked the name. Get over yourself, Gisele Budchen (sp?)

  86. BetteBoo25 says

    Ummmm….let me guess….Korea? LOL of course it’s Ciara. And it IS creepy. I’d have to say something and before too much time goes by and the name is set. Maybe gently suggest Ciara as a middle name. Or even the initial C. If the new guy is as infatuated as that he shouldn’t be offended.

  91. NotTooProud says

    Star Athlete: Tom Brady
    His Famous Wife: Gisele

    Baby was born the same day he signed – I can see someone doing that not so much to get on Brady’s good side as to celebrate a major professional milestone. (Better than Belichick or Patriot or something.) I can also see the B&G convinced he did it to get on their good side because goodness knows it can’t be about anyone else…

    [Optional] A little more unique would be nice. But not TOO unique. There’s a degree of comfort in mild…

  97. CyndiTx123 says

    Russell Wilson and Ciara ?

    keep your kids name to whatever you want…. I am sure my daughter would have wanted a common name… I would have wanted a more unique name…

  98. Delightful says

    Stephen Gilmore recently signed with the Patriots, and had a baby and they named her Gisele. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have got to be some kind of sociopaths to think that has anything to do with them. Gisele is a normal name, and most likely they had been talking about names for the last 6 months. Maybe they just liked the name. There are plenty of other little girls named Giselle.
