Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard has named his new baby girl Luna, it was announced today

Victoria Beckham will be fuming - because Luna is the name she had earmarked for her next baby.

Luna Coco Patricia Lampard was born on Monday afternoon to Lampard's Spanish fiancee, model Elen Rives.

The name means "moon" in Spanish.

Beckham revealed last year when pregnant with third son Cruz: "I love the word 'luna'. I know it's a girl's name - so maybe for the next baby."

Lampard and his fiancee are "overjoyed" with their new arrival, born in a London hospital.

A spokeswoman for the couple said: "Frank and Elen are happy to announce the birth of their first child, Luna Coco Patricia Lampard.

"She was born yesterday afternoon and both baby and mother are fine. Frank and Elen would like to thank everyone for their messages of congratulation."
