南非寶寶取名瞄準(zhǔn)"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?' "
