The Uruguayans are also naming in relation to the World Cup: Victoria Celeste, Mía Celeste and Mario Abreu. The nickname of the Uruguayan team is "Celeste" (sky-blue), because of the colour of the kit, so the combinations mean "Victory of the Uruguayan team" and "my Uruguayan team" (the gramatically correct sentence would be "mi celeste"). Abreu is the surname of one of the players.

There was the rumour that some parents had tried to register María Vuvuzela but it is not true (probably, it will finish beign a urban myth).
