Reality TV darling Charlotte Dawson has joyfully announced the name of her newborn daughter, mere hours after she and partner Matthew Sarsfield welcomed their little bundle of joy. The 32 year old mum-of-three, who already has sons Noah, four, and Jude, 18 months, introduced the newest member of their clan on Saturday.
Charlotte kept fans in the loop throughout her labour journey on Saturday, sharing everything from her go-to snacks to motivational messages before her baby girl made her grand entrance. However, it wasn’t until Sunday evening that Charlotte and Matthew unveiled their daughter’s name, Gigi Dawson Sarsfield, alongside a series of heart-melting snaps, reports the Mirror.
Charlotte shared the exciting news, writing: “My darlings I’m soooo excited to introduce our baby girl to you all Gigi Dawson Sarsfield, finally she arrived fashionably late like her mama but a very very speedy entrance into the world weighing 8lbs 9oz at 9:32pm on Saturday 8th March and arriving in true chuffin kweeen style on international women’s day.
“She went on to add: “We are completely in love with her and so excited to be a fambo of 5, chaos but magical.. can’t wait to make the best memories!”
” I still can’t believe we have a BABY GIRL… I’ve dreamt of this moment for so long. I think she is such a mix of Noah and Jude.. what do you all think.”
So, what does the name Gigi mean and where does it originate from?
According to BabyCentre, Gigi is a diminutive of Georgina, the feminine version of George. The name originates from the Greek moniker Georgios, derived from ‘georgos’, translating to “farmer, earthworker” This in turn comes from ‘ge’, meaning “earth” and ‘ergon’, signifying “work”.
The name has seen a surge in popularity recently, possibly influenced by celebrities like supermodel Gigi Hadid and designer Cynthia Rowley’s daughter who both bear the charming name.
Charlotte revealed in September that she was expecting a baby girl, confessing it was “finally” happening after always dreaming of having a daughter. She already has two sons, Noah and Jude, with Matt, who frequently feature on her social media.
Last month, the Love Squad star admitted she was finding the final stages of her pregnancy challenging. Sharing her experience on Instagram, she said: “I’m going to miss my coffee, brew, and food holder, but I am struggling right now. She’s lying on my bladder, and I feel like she’s coming every minute.”
After giving a shoutout to her glam squad in the post, she quipped, “At least if she comes this weekend, I look a bit glowy.”
