Totally Divas star Brie Bella and her fellow wrestler husband Daniel Bryan welcomed their first child together, a daughter.
The couple named her Birdie Joe Danielson on May 8, a couple weeks from her original due date of April 30. The WWE wrestler, whose twin sister Nikki is also on the show and wrestles.
She told E! the source of the baby’s name.
“Joe, her middle name, is after my grandfather—his name was Joseph, and he meant the world to me,” Brie explains in the publication. “Birdie is because my husband and his whole family are ‘B’s. And he married me, a ‘B’ too, so his one request was that our kids have ‘B’ names. I didn’t realize how hard it was to find girl ‘B’ names, but we both came across Birdie and knew that was it!”
In an exclusive chat with E! News on set, the mom-to-be also discussed some of the contenders that were previously in the running.
“We’re between Branch, Birdie, Brayden, Brynn and Bridget,” the 33-year-old wrestler shared. “My husband loves Branch. I was like, ‘Well, eh, you know that can go two ways.’ Someone told me, ‘Just keep going to Starbucks and say your name is Branch and see how you feel when they say it out loud!'”
They wouldn’t be the first with a daughter named Birdie. Cougartown actress Busy Phillips has a daughter with that name as well.
She was featured in Fit Pregnancy magazine recently as well and her spinoff show with her sister Nikki, Totally Bellas, is going to start a second season soon. Both shows air on E!
