Stacey Solomon's special meaning behind name for baby daughter

Stacey Solomon said she has enjoyed "the most magical week" as she revealed her newborn daughter's name.

She wrote: " Rose Opal, Esme Solomon-Swash. Our beautiful flower - Our precious jewel - who is ever loved. It's been the most magical week. We love you to the moon and back our little Rose.

"We feel so so lucky to have you here... Thank you all for your loveliness, your kindness and just being there at 3am for a chat it's been the best. Love you all."

Why did Stacey Solomon name her daughter 'Rose Opal'?

Stacey hinted at the meaning of the chosen baby name in her Instagram announcement, saying their daughter is their 'beautiful flower' and 'precious jewel'.

Rose is often seen as a symbol of love and beauty derived from the Latin term 'Rosa' meaning the rose blossom.

Opal is a precious jewel and is the primary October birthstone.

Stacey, who found fame after appearing on The X Factor in 2009 before later winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, previously revealed she gave birth to Rose at her home in Essex on her birthday.

She had shared pictures of sons Rex, Leighton and Zach with their little sister.

Stacey has been dating Joe, who is best known for playing Mickey Miller in EastEnders, since 2015.

The pair got engaged last Christmas but delayed their wedding after she announced her pregnancy in June.
