BORIS and Carrie Johnson have revealed the name of their baby daughter.
Johnson revealed the pair’s second child’s full name as Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson.
On a visit to a vaccination centre earlier in the day, Johnson spoke to a woman with a baby in a pram and revealed his daughter’s name was Romy.
And posting on Instagram, Johnson revealed the other meanings behind the names.
She said Romy was after her aunt Rosemary, while the couple had picked Iris from the Greek for rainbow.
This could be a reference to the fact Johnson previously spoke about having had a miscarriage and a baby born after a miscarriage, stillborn, or neonatal death is known as a rainbow baby.
While Charlotte was in honour of Johnson’s late mother, Charlotte Johnson Wahl, who died aged 79 in September.
Romy is the pair’s second child, after their son Wilfred was born in April last year. He was named Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson partly in tribute to two doctors, Nick Hart and Nick Price, who helped save the Prime Minister’s life when he was admitted to hospital with Covid-19 earlier that month.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
