Boris Johnson and wife Carrie explain baby daughter's unusual name

Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie have named their baby daughter Romy.

Speaking at a vaccination centre in Kent, the Prime Minister revealed the name.

And posting on Instagram, Mrs Johnson announced the pair’s second child’s full name as Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson.

Mrs Johnson said Romy was picked after her aunt Rosemary, Iris for the Greek word for rainbow, and Charlotte after Mr Johnson’s late mother.

Mr and Mrs Johnson announced the birth of a “healthy baby girl” at a London hospital on December 9.

The Prime Minister was present throughout the birth, the PA news agency understands.

A spokeswoman for the couple said: “Both mother and daughter are doing very well. The couple would like to thank the brilliant NHS maternity team for all their care and support.”

The couple announced they were expecting their second child together at the end of July, as the 33-year-old environmental campaigner spoke of having a miscarriage earlier in the year.

The birth of a sister for Wilfred came the morning after the Prime Minister announced England is entering Plan B to combat the spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.
