Stacey Solomon's very sweet baby name meanings as she shares Belle connection

Stacey Solomon is happier than ever after welcoming her fifth child.

Her third child with husband Joe Swash - and second daughter - was delivered at home and the Loose Women star has been glowing with love ever since.

And fans were so excited to hear what Stacey would name her dark-haired second daughter, leading to endless guessing.

Last month, pregnant Stacey revealed that she and husband Joe Swash are expecting another baby girl, having welcomed little Rose in October 2021.

The mum-of-four has been creative with her baby naming in the past and has let fans know the meaning behind her children's sweet monikers.

Stacey named her first daughter Rose Opal Esmè Solomon-Swash and told fans she is "Our beautiful flower - Our precious jewel - who is ever loved."

And Stacey revealed that Rose's name has a special link to her engagement ring from Joe and their shared birthday on October 4.

Explaining the name on Loose Women, Ruth Langsford said: "Her middle name Opal has got special significance actually for Stacey and Joe.

"Opal is Stacey's birth stone and Rose was actually born on Stacey's birthday, so that's now her birthday which is lovely, and then Stacey's engagement ring has got two Australian opals because that's where she and Joe met on I'm A Celebrity."

Stacey and Joe revealed they'd name their son Rex Toby Francis Swash after his birth in June 2019.

She also revealed the special meanings behind his first and middle names.

Stacey explained: "Rex because our boys think he sounds like a T-Rex. Francis is Joe’s Nanna’s name and Toby is my Nanna’s name.

"It's taken us this long to announce the name because for some strange, probably hormone and post birth related, reason I didn’t want to do it until his official due date."

Stacey hasn't revealed the meaning behind her eldest children Leighton and Zachary's names.

Meanwhile, Stacey's fans were convinced that she has accidentally let slip the name she has chosen for her baby daughter.

The expectant mum, who recently celebrated her baby shower with her nearest and dearest has been busy sharing her crafting creations for her baby girl's nursery as she keeps her 5.5 million Instagram followers up-to-date on her pregnancy journey.

Stacey shared a glimpse at the homemade hot air balloon mobile she had made for her unborn daughters nursery room.

"From mummy with love little one. Patiently waiting for you to be here, we are all so excited to finally meet you baby girl," Stacey captioned the adorable snap.

"She’s very comfy apparently, letting me know who’s boss already. Now just need to find a safe out of reach little cubby hole to put this in."

After posting a look at the gorgeous homemade mobile, eagle-eyed fans felt as though Stacey had dropped a massive clue about the name of her unborn baby girl.

Given that Stacey had used a collection of white beads and pearls to decorate, several fans guessed that the Loose Women star is planning on calling her Pearl.

However, Stacey confirmed that they'd named her youngest daughter Belle, which she revealed was to "remind [them] of the bluebells that are about to bloom as [she] brings the spring with [her] into the world".

Announcing the news on Instagram with a few sweet photos of Belle, she wrote: "Belle Our little Belle. Our beautiful, delicate baby girl. Who will forever remind us of the bluebells that are about to bloom as you bring the spring with you into the world… And a little special connection to your Rose To the moon and back Belle. Forever and always."
