Flavio Briatore and Elisabetta Gregoraci: weird baby name

If the idea that Elisabetta Gregoraci is having a baby to much older Flavio Briatore gives you the creeps, read no further. Former Italian show girl and model, Gregoraci, is pregnant to her husband Briatore, and has revealed that he has rather strange taste when it comes to baby’s names.

According to reports, Briatore wants to call his son “Falco”, or ‘Falcon’. Very hippy, we must say, particuarly for a guy who used to be in the big money business of Formula One. Anyway, Gregoraci has said:

“My husband wants to give our son an absurd name - he wants to call him Falco! What kind of a name is that?”

It seems the lady has more brains than I had given her credit for, and hopefully won’t follow the celebrity need for publicity by naming the child something he’ll get teased for, for the rest of his life. Really, what is wrong with names like Matthew, John and Thomas?
