Picking a baby name can be difficult, but for mum of five Kerry Katona, she sought on inspiration from one of her favourite TV shows, Friends. In her exclusive column, the 43 year old said she struggled to think of a name for her eldest daughter Lilly, now 21..
In fact, it was only two days after her birth, while watching the iconic New York-set sitcom, that Kerry happened to come across one she liked. Kerry said: "I knew I wanted to name my first daughter Molly before I was even pregnant so that was easy, but Lilly didn’t have a name for two days when she was born.
I came up with it because I was in hospital and watching Friends – the episode where Phoebe was getting a tattoo. "She wanted to get a Lily tattoo and it made me think of Lily as a name.
I added another L because Brian [McFadden - Kerry's ex husband] and I have five letters in our names, and I thought it sounded good with Molly." Kerry isn't the only one who has struggled with deciding a baby name, as singer Peter Andre revealed it took him and wife Emily a whole month to name their newborn.

Emily shared her own Instagram post announcing the name they'd finally decided upon, writing: "It’s taken a while but after lots of deliberation we’ve finally decided. Arabella
