The actress - best known for playing Albert Square’s Stacey Slater in the BBC soap - explained how they chose their daughter’s name.
Turner said: “It wasn’t on our original list but we did an internet search for ‘pretty girls’ names’ and we both said it at the same time!
“Her middle name is Violet, which I also love. We’ve had mixed reactions, people either think it’s really cool or they don’t really know what to say!”
