[Opinions] Re: Celebrity BA
"born through a gestational carrier" ... never heard that terminology before. I wonder what her compensation was! =PFaith is okay. I find it feels weird to address someone as Faith, and the sounds in it are so soft and lispy. But it's not awful, and I agree it beats Sunday. I guess it means that much to them. I wonder if she'll go by Faith Urban, Faith Kidman, or Faith Kidman Urban as a grownup. YMMV, but I'm glad my parents didn't try to give ME two surnames.

what's wrong with having two surnames? :\

Nothing! I would not want to have two myself, though. I personally would find it inconvenient, unnecessary, and (sometimes, like on me, in my context) could come off as kind of pretentious.

LOL! Never move to a Portuguese or Spanish speaking country then! ;D

Oh, I know there are places where it's normal to have long names, and that is fine. I'm just accustomed to dealing with only one surname per person, and I don't really see any justifying advantages, for myself, to having more than one.

'gestational carrier' is the correct term when the real parents are also biological parents. It makes it clear that the surrogate has no biological tie to the child (since there are many forms of surrogacy). I think it's a good idea to announce it this way when you're famous and you know everyone will be asking and wondering if the baby is biologically yours. I remember how everyone commented and wondered when Sarah Jessica Parker had twins and they just said surrogate.
