Alec Baldwin and his wife ignite controversy with the name of their seventh child.

Controversy Over Baby’s Name and Heritage Claims

Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor Alec Baldwin, recently gave birth to their seventh child. However, excitement quickly gave way to controversy over the baby’s name and Hilaria’s Spanish heritage claims. These claims have long been criticized as misleading.

A History of Scrutiny
In 2020, it emerged that Hilaria, who was believed to be Spanish, is actually from Boston. This revelation raised doubts about her authenticity, especially after she famously forgot the word for cucumber in an interview. Additionally, it was revealed that she had once gone by the name Hilary.

The Backlash Over Baby’s Name
The birth of their seventh child sparked a fresh wave of criticism. The name, ‘Ilaria Catalina Irena,’ drew swift backlash on social media. One Twitter user criticized it as a “Fake Spanish name from a Boston-born mom,” while another pointed out the lack of American names among the Baldwin children.

Questions About Cultural Identity
Critics also targeted Hilaria’s ongoing efforts to embrace a Spanish identity. Some questioned her motivations, suggesting the couple’s fame had influenced their choices. One commenter even joked that the name should be changed to “hilarious,” pointing out the perceived irony.

Hilaria’s Defense
In December 2020, Hilaria defended herself in an interview with the New York Times. She explained that the cucumber incident was simply a nervous mistake during her first live TV appearance. She also acknowledged an error in her agency’s bio, which falsely claimed she was born in Mallorca. Hilaria clarified that her name change from Hilary to Hilaria was based on what her Spanish family calls her. While born in Boston, she emphasized her strong connection to both Boston and Spain.

The Ongoing Debate
This latest controversy reignites the debate over Hilaria Baldwin’s cultural identity. With divided public opinion, the controversy now questions whether the Baldwins’ choices are a genuine celebration of heritage or an instance of cultural appropriation. As the discussion unfolds, it continues to highlight the complex intersection of fame, identity, and public perception.
