KUALA LUMPUR: National astronaut and TV producer Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha and wife Datin Dr Halina Mohd Yunos welcome their seventh child on Wednesday.
In an update on his Facebook yesterday, Sheikh Muszaphar, 51, shared the wonderful news that his wife had safely given birth to a baby boy who weighed 2.98kg at a hospital in Damansara, Selangor.
He also shared that he had named the baby Sheikh Muhammad, naming it after the last prophet.
"But the (other) children wanted other names. Noah wanted Ibrahim. Tasha wanted Isaac. Adam wanted his baby brother to be named Adam Junior. Eusoff & Emelia (were) fine with any. Only Bella agreed with the name," he said in the post.
Perhaps amused with his other children's reaction to the latest bundle of joy, he said: "Each with different thoughts. Let's call him Little Sheikh for now kids."
Sheikh Muszaphar and Halina tied the knot on Oct 10, 2010; their other six children are between the ages of three and 12, including two sets of twins.
