Pregnant Montana Brown reveals the American baby name on her list that 'rude' Brits hate

Love Island star Montana Brown has shared one of the potential baby names for her first child.

The star, 27, announced she's pregnant with her first child with partner Mark O'Connor earlier this month in an Instagram post.

In a cute video she shared moments from their pregnancy including the pregnancy test and an ultrasound, as well showing off her blossoming baby bump.

Discussing her pregnancy in the comments, Montana told a follower a name they suggested was in the running for their baby. However, she hinted it isn't typically a British favourite and the moniker is more of an American name.

The star replied to a comment from a fan who suggested the name 'Hunter' for the tiny tot, who's gender has not yet been revealed.

Montana replied: "It's actually on my list already, but the Brits don't appreciate the preppy American name it's quite rude..."

The mum to be has been met with tonnes of well wishes and congratulations since announcing her pregnancy on Instagram this month.

Fellow Love Island alum Faye Winter commented: "Ahhh congratulations."

Gal pal Vicky Pattison added: "Omg mon!!!! Stop!! Just yesterday you were congratulating me about my family growing. Mate I'm so happy for you."

Another Love Island face, Zara McDermott, commented: "Just remembered how you told me this summer how excited you were for this chapter in your life!!! And here it is!! Congratulations angel."

Amy Hart, who is also expecting her first baby next year, wrote: "Amazing congrats!"

Montana shot to fame thanks to her stint on ITV2 show Love Island in 2017 and lasted an impressive 50 days in the villa, but did not quite make it to the final.

Montana has been dating boyfriend Mark O'Connor since last year, with the pair going public with their romance when they were spotted together in the Caribbean in January.

Montana said: "Mine and Mark's relationship was born out of the second lockdown.

"I feel like good things always come when you are not expecting it," Montana previously said of their romance to new! magazine.

"It's been lovely to feel in a good headspace. Last year I convinced myself that I didn't want to meet anyone - I'd be on my own forever instead, but he came along when I wasn't looking."

Former rugby player Mark - who used to play for Chiswick and Wales first teams - reportedly met Montana in one of the former rugby player's gyms during the second national lockdown.
