A woman has revealed how her sister told her she would be ruining her daughter's life "from the moment she draws breath" if she sticks with her choice of baby name. In an anonymous post on Reddit , the woman explained that after years of trying for a baby, she and her husband have fallen pregnant. After thinking long and hard, the couple finally settled on the name Lyra (pronounced Lie-ra) for their baby girl, which they loved.

Victoria Beckham almost married a local electrician and used his name in Spice Girls
With a mind-blowing estimated fortune of £750million, there's nothing Victoria and David Beckham can't afford. But it all could have been so different if Victoria - who turns 47 today - has stuck with her first fiancé, Mark Wood.

Girl, 12, bursts into tears as she is rescued after being sold off by her parents to pay off £3k debt
POLICE have rescued a 12-year-old girl allegedly sold by her parents so they could pay off a £3,500 debt. The schoolgirl is said to have burst into tears after she was saved following more than a month in captivity. And officials are now investigating what happened, with claims that her parents, who live in the southern Spanish city of Cordoba, agreed to sell her because they couldn’t pay back moneylenders they had borrowed cash from. Part of the deal they allegedly did was that the youngster would be married off to the teenager who was among the three people arrested. Investigators are probing whether the men who bought her sexually abused her to prove she was a virgin before a forced marriage to an 18-year-old.
