Spice girl names baby girl Bluebell Madonna

Geri Halliwell has happily followed the traditional celebrity route of coming up with an 'unusual' name for her newborn daughter. The former Spice Girl plumped for Bluebell Madonna after being inspired by walks in the park while she was pregnant.

In an interview with Hello magazine, Geri says that she seemed to see bluebells wherever she went. 'What clinched it for me was my mother telling me that the bluebell is increasingly rare - so it's a precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter.'

Geri, who gave birth to Bluebell by C-section, says of the birth; 'It was overwhelming - the biggest life-changing experience that's ever happened to me," she enthuses. "This is an emotional, spiritual physical adventure that's going to last a lifetime.'
