FORMER Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has revealed she will call her baby Stella if it is a girl and Leonardo if it is a boy.
Speaking about her pregnancy for the first time, the 33-year-old said the baby had her own "turned up nose already" and said the first scans showed "something that looks more like a potato than a little person", adding: "I thought that I was carrying Potato Halliwell."
The redhead, who is seven months pregnant, also revealed to Hello! magazine that the pregnancy has been an emotional experience.
"It’s been a huge hormonal journey, and for the first three months of pregnancy I was very ill. It was like being hungover, with a depth of tiredness I’d never experienced", she said.
"I’ve put on between 10 and 12lbs (each breast now weighs about three!), gaining most weight in the first three months, all around my bottom and my breasts.
"It’s a hideous stage when you don’t look pregnant, but just as if you’ve eaten too many pies."
The singer said all the Spice Girls had been supportive, especially Victoria who had given her the ponchos she wore during her last pregnancy.
Geri did not name the father - thought to be scriptwriter Sacha Gervasi, 39 - of her child, but said she wanted the pair to have a close relationship.
"The baby is a happy accident and I am going alone by choice", she said.
But the star added: "I would never deprive my child of the right to know its father. I think a child can still receive the love of two great parents who are not necessarily together. We don't have to live together to be supportive."
