Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have finally welcomed their much-awaited baby to the world. It’s a girl, and her very flowery name is Daisy Dove Bloom.
The couple announced the infant’s arrival through UNICEF because they are Goodwill Ambassadors for the charity. In addition to sharing a black-and-white photo of the family’s hands, the new parents highlighted the need for safer birthing conditions in other parts of the world.
“We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” the couple said. “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.”
In celebration of their daughter’s arrival, Perry and Bloom have set up a donation page and are asking fans to throw some cash at it. “We hope your [heart emoji] can bloom with generosity,” they said.
Sweet as their efforts to improve childbirth is, the floral-themed name they bestowed on their baby is a little cringey. Daisy Dove Bloom joins many other celebrity babies with unfortunate, embarrassing, or downright awful names. Let’s review some of the worst below!
