Following news of the Queen's death on Thursday, many fans are suggesting Joe and Rosie name their baby daughter Elizabeth.
One person commented on the post: "Congratulations!! I think you should call her Elizabeth."
While another said: "One life ends another one starts - maybe Elizabeth as a middle name! Congratulations to you all."
And a third added: "Congratulations! Elizabeth is my suggestion for her name."
"Congratulations!!! Think she needs to be a Lizzie being born today," added a fourth.
Others suggested Joe and Rosie call their little one Beth or Betsy, while others suggested Libby.
"I think Lizzy or Beth in honour of our Queen would be lovely names," said one.
Another even suggested the name Queenie, adding: "If you haven’t chosen a name yet maybe Queenie would be precious."
