A tale I heard
Former Spice Girl member Mel B discussing how the band members' famous monikers came about:
“It was actually a lazy journalist who couldn’t be bothered to remember all our names, so he just gave us nicknames. And we were like ‘Oh, well that kind of works. I don’t mind my name, do you like your name Baby, Posh…?’ we were like ‘Let’s just go with it!’ So we just rolled with it and it worked out. I’m very, kind of, in your face and was even more so back then. I was 17, 18, like: ‘WHAT?! WHAT D’YOU WANT?!’ So I guess I could have come off as scary... I like my name.”
