The middle name Samantha has a special significance to the couple. 

Samantha honours Grainge's mum, Samantha Berg, who suffered complications during childbirth which led to a coma that she was in until she died in 2007. 

The name is seemingly a nod to a similar tradition with Richie's name. 

Richie, whose middle name is Alexandra, appears to honour her own mum Diane Alexander. 

The couple have not revealed where the name Eloise came from, however according to Nameberry the name is of French and English origin meaning "healthy, wide."

"And also, just like what the female body is capable of. Every week brings new things, whether it's hormonal shifts or expansion – there's just so much our bodies go through, and it's so interesting to experience it all."
