Sam Faiers finally decides on a name for her month-old baby

She shared the news on Instagram

Sam Faiers has kept fans in suspense for a month over the name of her new baby.

The Only Way Is Essex star welcomed her second child with property developer Paul Knightley on 11 November.

Sam has shared numerous pictures and videos of her newborn daughter on Instagram since then, all without revealing her name.

Fans asked her “why all the secrecy?” and speculated that she was saving the announcement for a big bucks magazine deal.

But the 26-year admitted there was no agenda, it was simply that she and Paul couldn’t decide on a name!

Their lack of inspiration doesn’t come as too much of a surprise given they chose to name their first son Paul after his father when he was born in 2015.

But they haven’t named their daughter after her mum and gone with Samantha or Sam, instead it was revealed last night that the little cutie is called Rosie.

The proud mum shared the name via her Instagram account last night along with a rose emoji and a picture of her daughter propped up on a cushion.

Fans rushed to congratulate the star again and praised her choice of moniker.

“Aw, love the name,” one wrote, while another said it was “perfect”.

Sam previously revealed she had a home water birth when she welcomed Rosie last month.

She didn’t share the news of her new arrival in a magazine but instead once again used Instagram, sharing a black and white snap of her, Paul and their son cuddling the newborn with the captions: “Welcome to the world our beautiful baby girl.”

A source told the Sun Online she didn’t opt for a magazine deal to share either the news of Rosie’s arrival or her name despite being offered “several six figure” sums as she wanted to “share the news and pictures on her own terms.”

This will also involve chronically her pregnancy and Rosie’s first few months in her reality show The Mummy Diaries which will return for a third series.

As well as having a big brother, Rosie will also grow up with her cousins Nelly, three, and Arthur, nine months, the children of Sam’s sister Billie Faiers, who will also appear on The Mummy Diaries.

What a cute show it’s going to be!
