Charot<\/i> (Your date is nothing against my due date! Joke!) #HappyValentinesDay&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Upon seeing the good news, netizens sent their congratulatory messages for the birth of their daughter, and with Ethel being known for sparking witty yet fun exchanges about certain topics on social media, some of them started to offer alternative names for the newborn, like &#8220;Boobwita,&#8221; Boobabe\/Boobae,&#8221; or &#8220;Boobina,&#8221; instead of calling her &#8220;Little Booba.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The suggestions may be welcomed, but it seems that Ethel has already chosen a name that will perfectly fit her daughter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The comedienne earlier dropped a hint that their child&#8217;s name will be &#8220;Michaela&#8221; as she greeted Jessie on his birthday last month.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7pzh5SnMLp\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
