Tila Tequila Gave Her Baby Totally Normal Name
It's the first wintry day on the Eastern seaboard, and the sparrows are nowhere to be found. The sun cuts through the ice-wind but provides no warmth. A lone crow makes its rounds. Tila Tequila's firstborn is two days old.
Ms. Tequila, a reality television star, model, and the author of Hooking Up With Tila Tequila: A Guide to Love, Fame, Happiness, Success, and Being the Life of the Party, gave birth to little Isabella Monroe Tequila (jk, her real last name is Nguyen) on Sunday.
I can't say that I like this name. Isabella is like the fancy hatbox of names: pretty on the outside, empty on the inside, and overall useless, because who wears big hats? Monroe, I am assuming, is after Marilyn, not James or the doctrine, which sucks for the kid because Marilyn was one fucked-up broad (I beg of you, old-cinema-obsessed parents, please name your daughters after Jane Russell. Or Shulamith Firestone. Please!).
But the name is fine. Sweet, even. It's not trying too hard. But it is trying. And I hope it succeeds. Because, weirdly, I only want the best for Tila Tequila.
