Sienna Miller Names Baby Girl 'Marlowe'

By Katherine Weber, Christian Post Reporter Thursday, July 12, 2012

Actress Sienna Miller and fiancé Tom Sturridge welcomed their first child, a baby girl, into the world over the weekend, and the Internet has been abuzz with the baby's name.

The actress, who played pop culture icon Edie Sedgwick in the film "Factory Girl," named her daughter Marlowe Ottoline Layng Sturridge after giving birth on Saturday in London.

Miller, who split from fellow actor and former fiancé Jude Law in Feb. 2011, said in March that she had chosen to remain very private about her pregnancy.

"I'm in my second trimester, so I'm I-can-talk-about-it pregnant, even though I'm under strict instructions not to say anything as it would completely defeat the point of everything I've tried to achieve [with privacy] in the last eight years," Miller told British Vogue in March, "I'm feeling fine ... It's all progressing nicely and it's very exciting."

Miller, 30, began dating her current fiancé, Sturridge, shortly after she split from Law. Sturridge is also an actor who has starred in the film "The Boat That Rocked."

Miller has been equally quiet about her plans to marry her fellow Brit beau Sturridge, although she was photographed traipsing around London in February while donning a sparkly diamond engagement ring.

Although Miller has rarely talked about her pregnancy to the media, the paparazzi have kept a good tab on her continued fashion sense throughout her pregnancy. Miller was often photographed walking through London in her classic bohemian style as her baby bump continued to grow.

Miller isn't the first celebrity to give her child an interesting moniker. Previous famous celebrity baby names include Shiloh, Suri, Apple, Sparrow, Honor, and Brooklyn.
