Update: Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson welcome daughter Ruby Megan

Tags: Births , Homebirths , Names

Update: In an announcement this morning on her official website, it was revealed that the couple have decided to name their daughter Ruby Megan. Charlotte's grandmother Maria Cooper told reporters,

She is my first great-grandchild and she is beautiful. Charlotte and Gavin are tired but doing fine.

Originally posted September 21st: Singer Charlotte Church, 21, and her boyfriend, rugby player Gavin Henson, 25, welcomed a daughter at their UK home at 10:35 pm on Thursday evening. The baby girl weighed in at 6 lbs, 12 oz -- the same birth weight as Charlotte. A spokesman confirms,

A baby girl was born sometime on Thursday evening. Midwives were present at the home birth.

A friend says,

Charlotte and Gavin are over the moon. She’s everything they wished for. I’m sure Charlotte’s going to be a wonderful mum to her.

The couple announced that they were expecting back in March. They will be releasing the birth details on Charlotte's website on Monday.

I just tried to submit this...

I love her.

Hah! A few months ago a psychic told her she was having a boy. I totally had the feeling that she'd have a girl. Congratulations and well wishes to them!!!

Posted by: KRM at Sep 22, 2007 12:28:13 AM

Oh, a girl! Congrats to them.

Posted by: Meg at Sep 22, 2007 1:56:22 AM

Congratulations!
Let's hope it isn't another Ava lol

It is a little bit sad that they had a girl because Charlotte did say that she would prefer a boy rather thana girl due to all her bad experiences.

Posted by: Emma at Sep 22, 2007 4:32:47 AM

i love that she had the baby thursday, just because there is an announcment on her website posted friday saying her book it out.

"Well it’s out – I mean my book, not my bump!" - quoted from her website.

Congrats to them, I'm looing forward to hearing the name since Charlotte doesn't want to use Ava anymore.

Posted by: evie at Sep 22, 2007 8:23:28 AM

I was actually thinking wondering what name she'd choose and Ava did pop into my head as its pretty and very english/irish/welsh etc pretty iykwim? Like Grace or Elise or Holly or Lily or Jessica. I reckon something traditional and pretty basically.

Congrats to Charlotte and Gavin on their baby girl! According to Charlotte's official website, an announcement (with more details) is expected to come from the couple on Monday. I'm curious about the name, too. Until then, I hope they're enjoying this time together as a new family.

Congrats to them! I love Char, even if she is a bit pluckier than most, that talent is amazing and I think she's cool and cheeky. She'll make a loving mom.

Posted by: daphneesmith at Sep 22, 2007 2:02:01 PM

Congrats to Charlotte and Gavin! September must be the month for celeb babies, Charlotte's, Noel Gallagher & his gf Sarah's, Salma's, to name a few!

Posted by: Autumn at Sep 22, 2007 5:09:25 PM

Aw lovely. It's lovely to see Charlotte opting for a homebirth too. Congrats to them.

Posted by: marie at Sep 22, 2007 5:17:14 PM

Congratulations to them! And, I really do think the rest of 2007, possibly '08, baby girls being born will be coming back out in full force. ;)

Posted by: FC at Sep 23, 2007 4:08:45 AM

Congrats to Charlotte and Gavin!I thought she was carrying a boy too!I reckon they will name their daughter something Welsh.I have quite a few Welsh names picked out for any future child of mine,although my partner struggles to pronounce them as he is English!I think Charlotte and Gavin will be great parents!

Posted by: laura at Sep 23, 2007 8:05:56 AM

I've really been waiting for this one. I can't wait to see pictures! I hope she looks like Charlotte!

Congratulations and best wishes to the family!

Well, can't complain about the name! I ADORE Ruby, and Megan is my name! Great choice, sweet and classic. I'm sure Ruby is beautiful.

Posted by: Meg at Sep 24, 2007 10:03:17 AM

It's a nice name, and great too that they went with the Welsh "Megan" as a middle name.

Posted by: Viv at Sep 24, 2007 11:15:00 AM

Wow. Ruby has become a very popular celebrity baby name, hasn't it?

Posted by: cait at Sep 24, 2007 11:24:12 AM

Ruby is another really popular name right now that has come back in popularity after being considered an 'older persons name'. I didn't pick the name right but I did say it would be traditional and pretty! LOL

Posted by: Kim at Sep 24, 2007 5:02:27 PM

Ruby is becoming popular again

Posted by: gianna at Sep 25, 2007 1:17:02 AM

Gorgeous name! I hate that Ruby is becoming so popular though, I want to use it for a daughter someday!

Posted by: Lily at Sep 25, 2007 2:42:08 PM

Congrats!! I'm surprised that it's a little girl because I seriously thought for sure that the baby would be a little boy!! Anyway, I really like the name they chose for her-Ruby Megan. Know that Charlotte and Gavin will make great parents and can't wait to see pics of baby Ruby!!!

Posted by: J.J. at Sep 25, 2007 10:35:07 PM

Congratulation to Charlotte and Gavin on their new baby. I really think the name is perfect. I absolutely love the name Ruby Megan. It's a perfect choice and it's Welsh too. I am from the U.S. but would love to live in Wales it's gorgeous there. I think that she looks just like a stunning lil pearl just as her name Megan means and well those ruby red lips say it all. Charlotte will be a great mam.

Posted by: Kelly at Oct 4, 2007 2:07:16 PM

My names Megan!! Chuffed! Always Love Gavin!!!
