Carrie has given birth to a little girl

Baggs

Cassia Peaches and Lara Lettice

Really?
Or are they Bob Geldof's daughters?

As Derek Trotter said so memorably:
"It's a little baby"
An innocent new life.

Congratulations to them just ignore the horrible comments it's a new baby and that should be celebrated

Pace the late Dr Freud I think the baby is the only innocent in all this. As for the rest of them, don't even ask. Last night on QT saw be yet another hapless junior Minister trying to defend (and distract from) the awful, self-inflicted mess they are in. It's like reading Kafka.

Nope. BJ's daughters' names are quite restrained compared to Geldoff's:

Peaches, Pixie, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, and Fifi Trixibelle.

At least Cassia, Lara and Lettice (Letitia) are proper names.

Dear God! Some of the comments on here, social media at it’s worst.

If you think this is Social Media at its worst you're leading quite a sheltered life ?

BJ is supposedly keen on classical history so how about these possibilities - Clytemnestra, Apate, Eris, Hera, Enyo, Alteco, Megaera, Tisiphone, Discordia, Lucretia, Claudia Quinta, Fulvia, Livia, Agrippa, Helena, Pompeia, Drusilla, Tarpeia, Tullia Major.

I don't like Boris Johnson or any of his cabinet one bit. He is very bad for this country but I wish all his children well and hope that they have good fortune and happy lives.

Certainly Gransnet at it’s worst, that’s for sure!

Rabbitgran gives a good example of how to comment in a charitable way if you don’t like/ agree with Johnson or the government in general.
How anyone can do otherwise is beyond me.

Yes, nice post, Rabbitgran

I like some of your name suggestions !

I like Helena and Claudia, lovely names.

?

Rowantree, whatever you think about the baby, don’t call her “it!”

Some of you need to take a good look at yourself with some of the nasty comments. Grow up How would you feel if it was your grandchild and ppl had said what you had wrote. Does it matter how many kids he’s got NO it’s a new life new baby and a new welcome to the world.

Where are these “bitchy “ comments about the baby ??

Maybe we need a special forum for "Nice Baby Stories"?

I wish mother and baby well, as I would for anyone, but I can’t feel any joy about it at the moment.

... my feelings exactly. A baby is an innocent - and I wish Carrie Johnson well in her motherhood.

Well that’s one forum you won’t find me on Alegrias.

Yes there are some horrible comments both on here and elsewhere. Only to be expected I suppose. As for names I favour Anna, but who knows?! I like Alice, Polly or perhaps Charlotte after Boris's mother.

Congratulations a baby sister for gorgeous little Wilfred.

Hats off to Carrie calmly walking into the hospital at 7.40 am and having the baby pretty swiftly. She must have been quite advanced in her labour because apparently the police were contacted to check out the building two hours prior to Carrie's arrival. She's lucky she was able to hang on a bit!

Oh for a labour like that!

My first thought was"so what?" ? All she's doing is making sure she's got a firm foothold in his finances for when it all goes boobs akimbo! Personally I couldn't care less and no congrats either.

And you've never heard of "cut to order" ?
