Cheryl and Liam are running out of time to register their baby's name

Cheryl and Liam Payne don't have long left to register their baby boy's birth.

Babies born in England, Wales and Northern Ireland must be registered within 42 days of being born and celebrities' babies are no different. This means that Chiam only have until next Wednesday (3rd May)!

As the couple aren't married Liam will need to be at the register office to sign the birth register, otherwise he won't be included on the birth certificate. However he is currently in Los Angeles working on new music, so he'd better get back pretty quick!

According to the Gov.uk website it might be possible to add the father's name at a later date, however they would have to apply to re-register their little boy's birth.

Cheryl and Liam broke the news that they'd welcomed their first child together on Saturday 25th March by posting an adorable snap of their baby in his daddy's arms.

The former X Factor judge shared details about her new arrival and confirmed he was born on Wednesday 22nd March, weighing 7lb 9.

She wrote, 'On Wednesday 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream. Although he still doesn't have a name he is already stealing hearts. We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever 💙'

Fans of the couple have been eagerly awaiting news of the little boy's name, regularly taking to social media to ask the pair what he will be called.

While Cheryl has been very quiet on social media, Liam has frequently posted photos on Instagram, however neither have made announcements about their baby's name.
