Baby names

07th Oct 2017

Helen George has given her daughter the loveliest nature-inspired name

It's a little old-fashioned but we love it.

When looking for baby names, it can be tricky to find inspiration.

Some of us choose a name we’ve picked out years in advance while others look to beloved family members or celebrity trends.

It looks like Helen George took a cue from nature when it came to naming her newborn daughter.

The actress, who plays Trixie in Call The Midwife, revealed earlier this week that she’d welcomed a little girl with husband and co-star Jack Ashton.

In a new Instagram post, Helen has announced that they’ve decided to call the baby Wren Ivy, one of the sweetest celebrity baby names we’ve heard so far this year.

Baby Wren Ivy’s arrival was a bit of a surprise for her parents as she was six weeks early.

Despite being premature, the little one appears to be doing well and was well enough to attend her own baby shower last week.

Helen and Jack got together last year, having met on the Call The Midwife set.

Their characters dated briefly on the show but it looks like the actors’ real-life relationship could be little more serious.

Helen only confirmed that she was expecting last month when she showed off her bump for the first time at the TV Choice Awards.
