Diyarbakır man names newborn son Cristiano Ronaldo
Recep Karakaş, a construction worker living in the Kayapınar district of Diyarbakır, has named his newborn son Cristiano Ronaldo. The decision was made due to Karakaş's admiration for the Portuguese footballer currently playing for Al Nassr.
Karakaş stated that he chose the name because of the athlete's perceived compassion and support for Palestine and the Muslim community. Despite facing opposition from his family and social circle regarding the choice, Karakaş expressed pride in the decision. He noted that his other two children, Mustafa and Asel Irmak, are also fans of the footballer. He added that if he has another son, he intends to name him after his father, Jose Dinis Aveiro.
