A mum has said she “doesn’t care what people think” after she named her baby after the coronavirus lockdown. Jodi Cross fell pregnant with her first daughter during the second lockdown in 2021, after a year of trying to start a family.
Jodi and her husband Rob, both 36, decided to give their daughter a unique name to remember the lockdown. Their baby girl, Lockie - after 'lockdown' - arrived on 28th November 2021 at 5:28am, weighing 5lbs 2oz, at Bedford Hospital, Bedfordshire.
The couple credit the coronavirus lockdowns as the reason they were finally able to get pregnant, as they had more time to try for a baby on furlough. Jodi, a hairdresser, said lockdown was a "really good time" in their lives despite the pandemic - and they named little Lockie after it.
