Geri Halliwell topped the yet-unpublished list of Celebrity Wacky Baby Names when she named her baby daughter Bluebell Madonna.

Geri Halliwell told Hello magazine she is “besotted” with her daughter, who was born weighing 5lbs 12oz.

 

Explaining the unusual choice of name, Geri Halliwell said: “As I walked round the park in the last few weeks of pregnancy, I seemed to see bluebells everywhere."

“Bluebell is increasingly rare - so it’s precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter."

However, the middle name has nothing to do with pop star Madonna.

“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!’

"No one else has that name, apart from the Virgin Madonna and the singer, whom I love," happy mom mused.

"After five years of wanting, my prayers have been answered," Geri Halliwell added, "I have never felt so fulfilled as a human being."

Geri Halliwell has invited all four of her former Spice Girl colleagues to be godmothers at the christening of her baby. Victoria Beckham has already phoned Geri to thank her and accept the invitation.

Former bandmate Emma Bunton was photographed going to Geri's baby shower in early May, and Melanie C was rumoured to be there as well.
