Halliwell names daughter Bluebell

Geri Halliwell

Geri Halliwell has named her baby girl Bluebell Madonna.

Explaining the unusual choice of name, Halliwell said: "As I walked around 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 - so 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!' "
