Lauren Goodger has revealed the name of her baby daughter, and the reasons for choosing the unique moniker.

The Towie star welcomed her first child, named Larose, with boyfriend Charles Drury, 23, earlier this week.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, Lauren explained that she chose to name her child after both herself and her great-nan, who was called Rose. Lauren’s own middle name is also Rose.

The 34-year-old told the publication: ‘I decided to call her Larose because my great-nan was called Rose and I’m named Lauren Rose after her. So I decided to name my daughter that after me.’

Despite her name being uncommon, Lauren has said that her pals told her to ‘go for it’.

She went on: ‘I told a few of my close friends and they said go for it, it’s a beautiful name.’

Lauren also gave the magazine a glimpse of a handmade card sent from her family members, which has her daughter’s name written at the top, beside a balloon holding a baby bassinet.

The reality personality has been dating boyfriend Charles since October 2020 and they announced they were expecting a baby in January.

She confirmed the news of Larose’s birth via her rep, who told OK!: ‘Mother and baby are doing really well. Lauren and her partner Charlie are really looking forward to spending some quality time with their new arrival.’

Lauren later shared a sweet snap of her holding onto the newborn’s tiny hard on Instagram, captioning the post: ‘Welcome to the world our baby girl has arrived…
