Orlando Bloom originally wanted to call his daughter Fiona.
The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star and his fiancée Katy Perry welcomed their daughter into the world earlier this week, and it has now been reported that whilst Orlando was keen to name the tot Fiona, it was Katy’s choice of moniker – Daisy Dove – that won in the end.
A source said told Us Weekly magazine: “Katy won the battle over baby’s name. She was pulling for the moniker Daisy, but Orlando liked Fiona.”
The 43-year-old actor reportedly thought Fiona “sounded good alongside” his son Flynn, nine, whom he has with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
Earlier this month, it was reported the couple hadn’t picked out a name for their baby, as Katy was also toying with the name Grace Ann, in honour of her grandmother, Ann Pearl.
Another insider said at the time: “She likes the name Daisy because daisies are her favourite flowers, simple, pure and sunny. She is also fond of the name Grace Ann. Ann after her grandmother, whose name was Ann Pearl.”
Whilst Orlando was “also okay with honouring Katy’s late Grandma, he like[d] her middle name, Pearl.”

Katy and Orlando announced the birth of Daisy Dove Bloom on Thursday (27.08.20), in a statement to UNICEF, who they are Goodwill Ambassadors for.
They said: “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter.”
The engaged couple also admitted they are fortunate to have had a “peaceful” birthing experience, and used the announcement to encourage people to donate to UNICEF to “celebrate Daisy’s arrival” and also to help mothers and newborns receive the care they need.
As reported by The Sauce in March 2020, singer Katy Perry made her pregnancy announcement in a music video. The 35-year-old singer on 05.03.20 released a new music video for a song titled ‘Never Worn White’.
She was seen cradling a baby bump in the footage, and she later confirmed her pregnancy, admitting it is “probably the longest secret” she has “ever had to keep”.
