Brazilian couple Irineu Cruz and his wife Jucicleide Silva have been trying for the past 20 years to conceive a daughter without success. They have 13 sons ranging from 1 month to 18 years old.
When the couple got together, they planned that the mother would name the girls while the father named the boys.
The father has named 13 of their children who are all boys while the mum is yet to name any child because they don’t have a daughter yet. And the woman says she will continue to bear children until she gets a daughter.
According to The SUN ,The couple – from Conceiçao de Coité, near Salvador in Bahia State – now have enough boys to make up their own football team.
And the kids – aged from one month to 18 years old – are even named after Brazilian footie stars such as Ronaldo to Rivaldo.
Farmer Irineu, 40, said: “When Jucicleide first got pregnant we agreed she could choose the girls’ names and I would choose the names if they were boys.
“I’ve always admired players like Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho and Robinho”.
“All the best footballers seemed to have a name beginning with R”.
