Mum named baby girl after the lockdown, and says she has no regrets

A mum who named her baby after the pandemic said she has "no regrets" - and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Jodi Cross, 36, fell pregnant with her first daughter during the second Coronavirus lockdown in 2021 after a year of trying to start a family.

Jodi and her husband, Rob, 36, opted for a unique moniker for their tot - to remember the Coronavirus lockdown. Their baby girl, Lockie - after 'lockdown' - arrived on November 28, 2021.

Hairdresser Jodi credited the coronavirus lockdowns as being the reason they finally were able to get pregnant - because they had more time to try for a baby due to being on furlough. Jodi said lockdown was a "really good time" in their lives despite the pandemic - and they named little Lockie after it.
