Meghan Trainor reveals sweet reason behind newborn's unique name as fans left confused
Meghan Trainor and her husband Daryl Sabara have welcomed their third child via surrogate and revealed the adorable reason behind her name.
The 32-year-old singer and 33-year-old Spy Kids star announced the exciting news in an Instagram post earlier today (21 January), alongside a heartwarming carousel of photos.
The first slide was a photo of Meghan looking teary-eyed as she cradled her newborn, while another picture showed their sons Riley, four, and two-year-old Barry meeting their baby sister for the first time.
Other pictures showed the little one settling in at home after leaving the hospital and a close-up of the babies face.

In the caption, Meghan introduced their little girl's name as Mikey Moon Trainor and shared that she was born on 18 January.
She penned: "Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate. We are forever grateful to all the doctors, nurses, teams who made this dream possible.
"We had endless conversations with our doctors in this journey and this was the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family."
She added: "We are over the moon in love with this precious girl."
The 'Made You Look' singer also revealed how they chose little Mikey Moon's name, sharing that their sons actually got to pick.
"Riley and Barry have been so excited, they even got to choose her middle name. We are going to enjoy our family time now, love you all," she wrote.
Meghan and Daryl, who tied the knot in 2018, kept their third pregnancy pretty much a secret from the public, so this post came as quite a surprise to fans, who rushed to the comments to congratulate the family-of-five.
One Instagram follower penned: "Oh my goodness Meghan!!I love this!!!! Congratulations!!" while a second added: "She’s such a good mix of all 4 of you. I can’t get over this!!!"
A third wrote: "OMFG CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I’m SO happy for you guys!!!" while a fourth added: "And you kept it a total secret?!?!?!?!?!??"
Others quipped: "You kept this secret so good I’m shocked" and "The best news I’ve woken up to today, congratulations."
Fans have also been quick to share their thoughts on the moniker, with some loving the unique choice and others left confused.
"Why do they always give them names like that?" questioned one Twitter user while a second wrote: "Mikey Moon. Sounding like a Disney character."
A third chimed in: "Did not expect that name but congrats to them honestly."
Others, however, gushed: So cute, adorable name!"and: "That’s such a cute name."
Meghan opened up on her dreams of having a large family during an interview with PEOPLE Magazine last year.
She said in February: "Where I am right now is far beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. I always wanted a family. Check. Now I need some daughters. But I never thought I could be a pop star because I didn't believe in myself."
She added: "Now 19-year-old Meghan putting out All About that Bass is stoked; she's so proud, like, "I didn't know you could do that." It took 10 years to become brave, but I'm finally thriving."
