Colombian parents name baby 'Chat Yipiti' after AI program
Colombia has a history of officially registering unconventional names, including those inspired by sports, movie and music stars such as 'Maicol Yordan' -- named after basketball great Michael Jordan. File Photo by Christine Chew/UPI | License Photo Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A Colombian family named their newborn daughter "Chat Yipiti" after the AI program ChatGPT. Despite the unusual name, the child was registered without objection at the National Registry office in the town of Cereté. According to local media, the parents of Chat Yipiti Bastidas Guerra said they chose the name as a "tribute" to the era of artificial intelligence. This has sparked all kinds of reactions among social media users, as many disagree with the parents' decision, not knowing what consequences it might have in the future. The case is not unique. Colombia has a history of officially registering unconventional names, from those inspired by sports, movie and music stars such as "Maicol Yordan" and "Brayan Spears" that have stirred controversy. The National Registry has intervened in the past to prohibit names such as "Miperro" (My Dog) or "Satanás" (Satan), which it said clearly violated a person's dignity. In Colombia, while the law does not specify a list of prohibited names, it gives officials at the National Civil Registry the authority to deny registration if they believe a name could harm a child's dignity or reputation. "Legal precedent has established that a registrar may refuse to record names that result from phonetic or grammatical combinations suggesting obscene words, that clearly show an intent to mock the child, or that are so extravagant they could expose the child to discriminatory or degrading treatment," Bogotá attorney José Francisco Guerra said. Across Latin America, it is common to find variations on the names of Hollywood stars or cult film characters. Names such as "Yeison" (Jason) and even "Stallone," in honor of Sylvester Stallone, have been registered. Spanish phonetics often alter the spelling of foreign names, creating unique combinations. In Brazil, names from soap opera characters are common, often as inventive as the dramas that inspire them. In the past, children have been registered with names such as "Mozart" and "Facebook" and even those of singers, products, musical groups or historical figures. However, experts in child psychology and sociology have voiced concern. An unusual name, or one that invites jokes, can expose a child to ridicule and affect self-esteem and emotional well-being.

People Are Laughing At How President Zelensky Shut Down That Reporter's Suit Question
Remember this? More specifically, remember when a reporter asked Volodymyr Zelensky why he didn't wear a suit, and it turned into a whole thing? The reporter, who, fun fact, is Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, asked: "Why don't you wear a suit... Do you own a suit? A lot of Americans have a problem with you not respecting the dignity of the office." C-SPAN/Twitter: @cspan Related: Zelensky replied, "I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours, maybe something better, I don't know. We will see. Maybe something cheaper." People thought the whole thing was "deranged." Marco Rubio couldn't believe it either. Related: And now, Zelensky is back at the White House along with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. People were wondering if Zelensky would wear a suit after that whole thing in February, and today we found out. He showed up wearing this: Related: It literally was the first thing Donald Trump said when they met today: "I can't believe it. I love it," he said while pointing at his suit. MargoMartin47/Twitter: @MargoMartin47 And then that same reporter from February (MTG's BF) asked him about it in the Oval Office: atrupar/Twitter: @atrupar "First of all, President Zelesnky, you look fabulous in that suit. You look good," the reporter said. "I said the same thing," Trump said back. "I said the same thing. Isn't that nice? That's the same one that attacked you last time," Trump continued. Related: That's when the reporter says, "I apologize to you. You look wonderful." Zelensky had the last word on this one when he told the guy: "You're in the same suit. You see, I have changed. You have not." Then the whole room erupted in laughter. As this person said, "Even Trump had to admit this was a great comeback."

Perrie Edwards shares heartache of miscarriage at 24 weeks
The Little Mix singer said losing the pregnancy was 'just the worst day of my life'. Content warning: This article contains sensitive discussion of baby loss, which some readers may find upsetting. Please take care while reading and consider whether this content is right for you at this time. What did you miss? Perrie Edwards has tearfully opened up for the first time on the "out-of-body experience" of grief that she felt after losing a baby at 24 weeks pregnant. The Little Mix singer cried as she talked about her experiences and described herself as "distraught" in a chat with Paul C. Brunson for his We Need To Talk podcast, saying of the miscarriage: "You've planned out (the baby's) room and all these things, it's really hard." Edwards, who has a son with footballer fiancé Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, also shared how her "mature, levelheaded" partner is completely different to "toxic" relationships she has been in before as she spoke about her earlier engagement to One Direction star Zayn Malik. What, how and why? Edwards is the latest celebrity to open their heart to relationships expert and Married At First Sight UK star Brunson for his We Need To Talk podcast, where she discussed her two miscarriages and how her current relationship is different to anything she has experienced before. The singer, who rose to fame with Little Mix by winning The X Factor in 2011, has a son, Axel, with footballer Oxlade-Chamberlain, but opened up on the heartbreak of her two miscarriages. She lost one pregnancy very early on before Axel was born, and another at 24 weeks when Axel was still a baby.

(Yahoo Lifestyle) She said: "When I had Axel, when I was pregnant with him, I loved being pregnant; it was one of the happiest times of my life. I just love carrying babies. And it was lovely. But I was a bit on edge thinking, oh, gosh, I want to get past the 12 weeks. And when I get past every scan and that pregnancy was complete bliss, it was perfect." Edwards explained her anxiety was due to having miscarried very early on in her first pregnancy, but told Brunson of her heartache when she lost another baby at 24 weeks in 2022. She said: "We fell pregnant again after. So maybe a year and probably not even... because Axel wasn't even walking yet and we were pregnant." "I found out when I was rehearsing for the Little Mix tour, the last Little Mix tour, I was at rehearsals and I thought, 'oh, I don't feel good'," she continued. "Every, every symptom under the sun. I was like, I think I'm pregnant." Edwards shared that she had been heavily bleeding before shows on the Little Mix tour, but that for a while it had looked as though the pregnancy would be viable. But she continued: "We went for what was a 20-week scan, but we were actually 22 weeks, and that was just the worst day of my life. Like horrendous. And I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and he just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing...I've never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion." Talking about receiving the devastating news, she said: "I remember sobbing. [Oxlade-Chamberlain] was injured at the time and he couldn't really drive. He was struggling to drive, but I couldn't see straight. I was just distraught. And yeah, we basically lost the baby at like 24 weeks. I was just traumatised." Reflecting on her miscarriages, she added: "It's weird because the first time it happened, I think because it was so early, I was like, oh, that's hard. But I think when you're fully carrying in your 24 weeks and you've planned out their room and all these things, it's really hard. I've never spoke about it before." Edwards broke down in tears again as she said: "Nobody knows other than immediate friends and family. And I remember shortly after, friends would message and be like, 'how's the bump?' And I'll be like, there is no bump."

She said: "I couldn't leave the house in was so intense. And I remember thinking, this is not what I want for my life... I want to get married. I want to have more kids. I want to have a successful career. I want to do all these capacity was not big. It was really minuscule. "With work and stuff, I thought, is it even worth it for me anymore? I don't know if it is, I don't want to feel that way every time I leave the house and go to work." Explaining that she now has regular therapy, she said of her recovery: "Sounds ridiculous, but I'd go to the shop for a few minutes and then come back, and then I'd go again. And it's almost like I had to remind my nervous system that it was actually safe...I was just scared of everything, and everything just terrified me." Perrie Edwards reflects on 'toxic' first love Edwards spoke about her past relationship with Zayn Malik, telling how they bonded over fame as members of Little Mix and One Direction, and said that he was her first real love. But she added: "I felt bad for the girls (Little Mix) because everything was made about was like, we're only going to make it because he's in One Direction." Speaking about how her relationship with Malik had affected her, Edwards admitted: "I think definitely at the time I thought everything we experienced in our relationship was normal. Because it was my first relationship, first love. I was like, 'Oh, this is how it's supposed to feel. It's supposed to feel a little bit toxic. In some ways, this is probably normal.' "And then when I became single, I was thinking, I never, ever want to go through that again. I didn't even want to meet anybody. I was like, that's me done. I don't think I could bear that now, reflecting back, I'm thinking, oh, that probably wasn't good. And I've noticed it a lot. In the start of the relationship, I would handle things differently with Alex, and he'd come at it with such a level head that it would throw me." The star described how she had felt "embarrassed" and "mortified" going through her break-up with Malik in public, but said that she "learned a lot" from the relationship. She added that she had felt she was "walking on eggshells" during their time together. On her relationship with Oxlade-Chamberlain, she said: "He's very mature. He's very laid back. He's very levelheaded. He's not the type to get mad or get angry or get funny about things." Talking about her ex having contacted her around a year into their relationship, she said: "I remember sweating and panicking, thinking, 'I've got to tell him that obviously I've spoken to him.' And I would be terrified... And he was like, 'Okay, well, I really appreciate you telling me, thank you for letting me know. That's fine. Like, hopefully he doesn't contact you again.' And I was thinking 'Okay, cool. That's it." Perrie Edwards on Little Mix and Jesy Nelson Although former Little Mix bandmate Jesy Nelson left the group in 2020, Edwards had nothing but positive things to say about the star. Talking about the power of female friendships, she recalled: "I remember singing in front of Jesy for the first time, and she was like, 'Oh my God, you are like Christina Aguilera,' And I was like 'Whoa!' She was like, 'Listen to her sing. Listen to her sing!' And she was gathering people around me like, 'Sing, babe sing.' And I was like, 'Oh my God.' And she just made me feel amazing." She added of Little Mix's success: "I still think they looked at us and thought it was four little girls in a pop group. I don't think they really saw the graft and the dedication and the numbers and the success that we had. I still think people kind of overlook it a little bit." Edwards said of her bandmates: "We just adored each other. We had each other's backs, we didn't argue." Perrie Edwards' episode of We Need To Talk is streaming now.
