Emma Bunton spoke with CosmoGIRL in a Q&A, where the Spice Girl was asked if the British group’s nicknames still reflect each of the five members. “I’m 31 and still a baby – but I am a big kid at heart,” Baby Spice responded. “I don’t think Scary is as scary as we think anymore, but we all still have elements of our names, especially when we sing Spice Girls songs! And if I could give my son a Spice name, I would call him Smiley Spice, because he smiles all the time and he’s always giggling!”
As for how the girls have kept their friendship strong during their ten years apart as a group, Emma said, “We’ve really supported each other the whole time – through solo careers and children. Plus, we’re always ready to be there for one another at the other end of the phone. I think the way to keep a friendship is to respect that everybody is different.”
