    I hate their stage names. Baby, Sporty, Posh? Why tf didn’t they use actual spice names? Ginger was already there. Why others weren’t called Cinnamon, Pepper, Clove, and Nutmeg? Fucking Brits. 😤😡🤬

      Actually, the names were coined by a writer working for a pop magazine. He based the names on their personalities. After the article was published the names spread like wildfire with the public.

      It wasn’t till later that The Spice Girls officially adopted the names. At least some of the members actually hated them. Unfortunately, all their fans were already using them, so the group didn’t have much of a choice.
