Voted on by the public
A journalist thought them up
They came in a dream
The correct answer is A journalist thought them up
So why is this answer correct? : In the 1990s everyone had their favorite spice — and we’re not talking about cinnamon. But the Spice Girls’ nicknames — Sporty Spice, Scary Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice, and Baby Spice — were not of their own choosing. A journalist with the U.K. magazine “Top of the Pops” made them up, and the names stuck.
