Dani Dyer hints at 'uncommon' names she's debating for twin girls

Her first born is called Santiago

Author: Alex RossPublished 13th Feb 2023

As they prepare for the arrival of their twin girls, it sounds like former Love Island winner Dani Dyer and West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen are getting organised ahead of the birth!

After announcing they were expecting their first children together, and then later revealing they are expecting girls, Dani has been keeping fans updated throughout her pregnancy and recently took part in a Q&A with fans.

Dani, who is already a mum to her son Santiago, was asked if she's following a 'theme' for the names.

She said: "I think we have decided both names. Jarrod always wanted one of the names so that was settled for twin one.

"However, twin two I was struggling as I always wanted a certain name but kept thinking would it work (it's not the most common name), but I'm going to go for it as I think I'd really regret not choosing the name I always loved deep down."

Speaking about her son Santi's name, the 26-year-old added: "People really have negative opinions on baby names. I had that a lot with Santi, so I'm prepared for that again."
