Irineu Cruz and wife Jucicleide
Silva have been trying for a little
girl for almost 20 years and
they've only managed to add
more boys to the family.
The couple have a brood ranging
from one month to 18-years-old
– but the couple say they won't
stop trying until a girl arrives.
During Jucicleide Silva's first
pregnancy, the couple agreed
that the dad would name the
boys and Mum, the girls. But the
couple has since christened all 13
boys after famous footballers, all
beginning with the letter R.
The family, who live in Concei ao
de Coit , Brazil, hoped their
thirteenth child would be a
game-changer but instead the
midwife announced it was yet
another boy.
Irineu who is a 40 year old
farmer said:
"I've always admired players
like Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos,
Ronaldinho and Robinho, all
the best footballers seemed
to have a name beginning
with R, so as more and more
boys came along, I decided
to celebrate South American
football by naming my sons
after the players I liked."
The family's newest addition has
been christened Ronaldo after
the former Brazil star.
Little Ronaldo joins brothers
Robson (18), Reinan (17), Rauan
(15), Rubens (14), Rivaldo (13),
Ruan (12), Ramon (10), Rincon
(9), Riquelme (7), Ramires (5),
Railson (3) and Rafael (2).
