Rodjun Cruz and Dianne Medina Reveal Their Baby’s Name in a Pinktastic Baby Shower!
Celebrity parents Rodjun Cruz and Dianne Medina just threw the most pinktastic baby shower while revealing their baby’s name!
Gender reveal parties usually are all about celebrating what the baby’s sex is while the parents keep mum about their new baby’s name. While some choose to hold off on names because they haven’t chosen one yet (because we know just how hard that is!), some already have an idea. And for celebrity parents Dianne Medina and Rodjun Cruz, they threw a pinktastic baby shower for their incoming daughter while revealing her name: Maria Isabella Elizabeth!

What’s in a baby’s name?
We’ve come across enough friends and people who have names like Juan, John, and Maria (or Ma.) as their first names, often preferring to be called by their second or third name. But the trend of having Juan, John, Maria (or Ma.) as a first name dates as far back as the Spanish period wherein our ancestors used them as a profession of their faith. Dianne’s late mother’s name appears to follow the trend — Maria Josefa.
However, that’s not the only reason anymore. Some parents add the names of their grandparents or their great-grandparents to their baby’s name as an act of love. It’s why some very European-sounding names like Consejo, Josefino, or Matteo still exist.
Perhaps for Rodjun and Dianne, the name Isabella Elizabeth for their daughter to combine the strength of two famous rulers. Isabella usually pays tribute to both Queen Isabella I who brought in many reforms after King Henry IV’s turbulent rule and the late Queen Isabella II, who has a bronze statue in Puerta Isabella II in Intramuros, Manila.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, commands respect especially because of the many achievements of the late Queen Elizabeth II who passed away on September 8, 2022, and is remembered as the “longest-serving UK monarch.”
And fitting for their daughter who will be their little “princess,” Rodjun and Dianne threw a baby shower blooming with pink roses and carnations!

Hope to see you soon, Maria Isabella!
When Dianne Medina and Rodjun Cruz revealed that they were expecting their baby girl during Easter, they also called her an “answered prayer.” “We couldn’t be more thankful to our God for blessing us with this baby on the way, and we thought it’s just fitting to share this with you all on Easter day. Please pray for us on this journey,” wrote Dianne in the post.
Joaquin seems to be adjusting quite well to the change, even declaring in a short Instareel that he would “protect the baby” because he was “strong” like his dad.
And according to the timeline, it seems that Maria Isabella Elizabeth will be a “dragon baby” too!
