Celeb BA
Well kind of a celebrity- she is famous in Australia and I think she's amazing but I guess she never chose to be famous. Turia Pitt, an Australian ultra-marathon runner who was caught in wildfires during a race when she was 24 in 2011 and suffered burns to 65% of her body- and her fiance, Michael Hoskin, welcomed a baby boy:Hakavai HoskinHakavai is a Shona word (a language spoken in Zimbabwe) that means "will be". This is very fitting if you follow Turia's story since the bush fire and through her recovery from her devastating burns as she's incredibly resilient and has said in interviews leading up to her child's birth that she wants her child to be resilient and take what life brings their way. She was unsure she'd ever be able to have children and spoke openly about how they would pursue adoption or put their energy into other causes if they couldn't conceive- so in general, the name represents a lot. I think it's handsome.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5131253/Turia-Pitt-Michael-Hoskin-welcome-baby-named-Hakavai.html
