Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom just welcomed their baby girl into the world. Her name is Daisy Dove Bloom and the couple said, "We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter."
The newborn's name is beyond adorable. How could they refuse to incorporate flowers with a last name like Bloom? Her Instagram photo also features a dainty daisy painted on her fingernail
The name also sounds familiar to Perry's past inspiration. That is, a not so distant past. She released her song Daisies this May. That's right, Daisies. The song speaks to feeling torn down by nonbelievers and pursuing one's dreams despite negative feedback.
Some of Daisies' lyrics include, "They told I was out there, tried to knock me down. Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house. They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me." Another lyric speaks to hope that people lose after childhood, "When did we all stop believing in magic? Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?"
Lessons Perry wants to teach her daughter might have influenced the song. It speaks to hardships the singer has overcome and public backlash for pursuing music that makes her passionate rather than appealing to the masses. She's going to teach her daughter how to ignore others who will try to make her feel small, which she has dealt with on an international level.
Perry detailed that the single represents, "an exhilarating celebration of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of cynicism and adversity." Now, as a new mom, she'll protect her daughter in the face of said difficulties and help her to express her true self.
That's a beautiful way to approach life. Both she and Bloom have been subject to the public eye, and we will have to wait and see if they decide to share their daughter on social media or keep her life private.
Daisy Dove sounds like a nature-loving free spirit, and it's just such a cute name. A new lullaby in Perry's musical style would break the internet.
