The influence of Cristiano Ronaldo extends far beyond the soccer pitch. The Portuguese icon, just by his mere presence, has boosted the tourism sector in Saudi Arabia. Hence, his name carries quite a weight, in a literal manner. The Al Nassr icon is a global inspiration and interestingly lots of couples have named their babies after the soccer legend. However, it seems that a well-known social media influencer’s baby might miss out on the opportunity to share the name of the mighty Cristiano Ronaldo in an unexpected late twist of fate.

Interestingly, CR7 himself was named after former US President Ronald Reagan. The latter was the favorite actor of Cristiano’s dad and that is how the iconic surname came to be.

Tavila Gomes’ son will likely miss out on the Cristiano Ronaldo tag

Tavila Gomes, a 27-year-old Biologist was in a relationship with Luva de Pedreiro and the couple was even expecting a child together. The news was made public in her 5th month of pregnancy. Luva, an influencer with more than 20 million social media followers, is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. Hence, he had previously claimed to name his child after the Portuguese icon after learning the child was a boy. But it now looks like the plan will not take off. The couple has just announced the end of their relationship and Tavila will not be going with the wishes of her ex-partner. Instead, she will name the baby ‘Davi’. It is unknown whether this name has any particular significance or reference.

The relationship between the two was not a smooth affair and they even broke up on previous occasions. However, they did get back together to reveal the news of their unborn child. While Tavila might not be in favor of naming her child after CR7, she seems to be in the minority. In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most popular names in the world for babies. Let’s dive deeper.
