The typically private singer Sia has once again sparked conversation, this time with the revelation of her child's rather unusual name.
While the news of her secret birth last year, and the subsequent divorce filing from husband Dan Bernad after a mere 26 months of marriage, raised eyebrows, it was the child's name, Somersault Wonder Bernad, that truly captivated public attention.
Court documents confirmed the birth, placing the child's arrival on March 27, 2024. However, the choice of "Somersault" as a first name sparked a flurry of online reactions, with many questioning the singer's unconventional choice.
Social media platforms like X buzzed with comments, ranging from amusement to outright bewilderment.
Sia has not publicly explained her reasoning for naming her child like that, so the precise motivation remains unclear.
However, based on available information, one possible inspiration could be her early career. In 2004, Sia collaborated with the band Zero 7 on the song "Somersault," which became an international breakout hit for her before she gained widespread fame in the U.S.

Sia had previously adopted two 18-year-old boys in 2019.
