Ferne took to Instagram to thank fans for their messages of congratulations and also addressed comments surrounding her youngest's unusual name.
She said: "Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments.
"The name... I knew it was going to split some hairs but I just think if you go for a popular name, an unusual name - whatever name you go for - there's always going to be people that won't like it."
Ferne then addressed daughter Sunday, five. She said: "Also, let's face it, I couldn't have gone for a bog standard name.
