dcdeb Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Singer Mika is a shop star http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article636677.ece Published: 31 Dec 2007 IT sounds like MIKA’s mum and dad had a right laugh when thinking up a name for him. The flamboyant singer says his parents always picked names with special meanings for him and siblings. He explained: “I was born in 1983 in Beirut. My mum’s Lebanese and my dad is American. “My parents have given all of their children exotic names with special meanings. “My brother is called Fortuné, meaning ‘luck’ in French. My sisters are called Paloma, meaning ‘dove’; Allegra, ‘happiness’; and Yasmine, which is ‘flower’. “All lovely, but I don’t know what they thought about with me. They called me Mika, which actually means ‘plastic bag’ in Moroccan. “Still, I love my name and I will never change it.” I think Mika would look great carrying my shopping. It must only be a matter of time before Tesco come knocking on his door to offer him a deal . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It's funny, but my friend told me what it meant earlier in the year, she used to like finding out the meaning of names. I didn't care though. We were talking about names on the way to Doncaster and I mentioned that my proper name is Rosemary (but I'm not too keen on it, so we'll stick to Rose thanks), which means "mist of the sea".

It must only be a matter of time before Tesco come knocking on his door to offer him a deal . . . I confirm this, his name really does mean plastic bag in Moroccan. That's why my parents couldn't stop laughing the first time I told them that I wanted to see Mika in London. Furthermore, if you go to a marketplace in Morocco a common fixture is people selling plastic bags and calling out "mika! mika! mika!" so needless to say I find shopping at the moment a hilarious affair.
