Stop the Spice

Ginger Spice in Brooklyn; Photo - XposureThe Sun runs this picture of ex-Spice Girl Geri Haliwell to say she's wearing a shirt with the name of Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham's son on it. Gothamist would like to point out that before Brooklyn Beckham existed, there was the borough of Brooklyn.

We'll be submitting a resolution to Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz to stop British pop singers to use Brooklyn's name in vain. Robbie Williams, any more stupid stuff (humping for MTV Cribs comes to mind), and we're talking to you.

beckham naming his kid "brooklyn" would be like a brooklyner like steve buscemi naming his kid "brixton"- he could do it, but that doesn't make it a good fucking idea.

The other Beckham child is named Romeo.

Brooklyn should be a protected trademark. Every two-bit hipster around the world who wants to front should have to go through Marty.

I love very very much the Spice Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I love Very very much Brooklyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I love David & Victoria Beckham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why would you ban pop-stars from wearing clothing that says brooklyn on it?! thats not needed!!! There is a city in New York, United States which the city's name is Brooklyn. and there is also the brooklyn bridge.
