We all thought she was going to be called Stella...
But Geri Halliwell has gone a little bit less mainstream for the name of her ickle bubba.
We bring you... Bluebell Madonna Halliwell.
"Scarlett was another name I loved, as Scarlett O'Hara was my fictional heroine," Geri told Hello! magazine.
"But as I walked round the park in the last few weeks of pregnancy, I seemed to see bluebells everywhere.
"But what really clinched it for me was my mother telling me that the bluebell is increasingly rare - it's a precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter.
"There's a good reason I picked Madonna as a middle name, too. As she came out of my tummy, Bluebell had both arms flung wide in the air as if announcing to the world, 'Hi! I'm here!'
"She was screaming her head off, as though she was shouting, 'Hello Wembley!' No one else has that name, apart from the Virgin Madonna and the singer, whom I love."
Talking about the Caesarean birth, Geri said: "Once they started going in for the baby, it felt like rooting around in a handbag. It's not painful but you can feel it.
"I was sooo in love with her at once. I'd die for her."
Geri is positively blooming in Hello!'s pictures as she poses with Bluebell, who she says is "the most important thing in the world for me".
