Cheryl Tweedy and One Direction star Liam Payne have kept us all in suspense as we waited to hear what they called their baby boy who was born on Wednesday 22nd March 2017 and now we think we have an answer. It's being widely reported that the singers have named their baby boy Bear.

Due to the unusual choice, Twitter users decided to have a little One Direction themed fun with the news, here are our favourites...

Of course there were some comments about the name in general...

The former Girls Aloud singer 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 thought they were given the first glimpse of the little one in April when Cheryl's hair stylist Daya Ruci uploaded a snap of a newborn baby to his Snapchat account.

Of course fans were quick to speculate if the baby in the snap was baby Payne as it was reported Daya had been with Cheryl over the Easter weekend.
