Coco's Competition

Mar 19, 2008 @ 10:31am

If your dad's name is Gordon but everyone calls him Sting, and your older sister's name is Fuschia, it might seem like no big thing to switch from Eliot Pauline Styler Sumner to Coco.

Sting's youngest daughter makes her major modeling debut in the SS'08 Burberry ads, you can spot her to the left of Agyness. And it's official, if your parents are British music, theatre or model royalty, Christopher Bailey is your new best friend.

According to Marie Claire, Coco's also the subject of "a bidding war" among various record labels desperate to sign her band, I Blame Coco.

She looks great in the ads, even next to Lily and Agyness, and if Sting's her dad, she must be able to carry a tune.

But didn't she realize the name Coco was taken?

I already had problems with Miss Rocha's name in the fashion world lol, considering there is one and only one Coco.. but to have another "model" take on the name...come on.

Wow. I am so guilty of hating on celebrity kids who get cushy jobs. (Even though I usually end up loving them. . . Lily Allen, Liv Tyler, etc. . . ) But I have to admit, that girl's adorable. She very much resembles her dad in the face. I hope her music's good. . . if your dad is Sting, you have a lot to live up to.

Cute or not, why Coco!? WHY? I would prefer her by any of her give names: Eliot or Pauline (maybe not Pauline) Styler (nice!) or Summer! Bad move... it actually makes me cringe. Can't stand copy cats n I'm a passionate celeb hater. Annoying!

Eliot as a girl's name is SOOO much cuter than Coco. What was she thinking?

Coco is her real name. I remember when she was 5, and they called her Coco then.

hopefully she's better than her brother. his band opened up for the Police on their tour last year. He sounded just like Sting but had none of the stage presence or song writing ability.
