Some People Think They Named The Baby Girl Lavender
Naturally, fans have scoured Malik and Hadid’s social media accounts to try to find some clues about the baby’s name, and when they noticed that the blonde beauty had posted about lavender a lot, they started to wonder if that was the name of her baby girl!
“New lavender babies in today! Line ’em up!” Hadid captioned a shot that showed her planting the flower, which was shared to her Instagram Stories last month.
To make things even more suspicious, her dad, Mohamed Hadid, posted a snap of the plant to his Instagram feed a few weeks before, with the caption, “The Lavender flower is known to the Holy Land and it gives the earth beautiful color and magical smell.”

There’s Also Speculation That They Named Their Daughter Hemera Or Theia
When Hadid shared an adorable pic of her and her baby to her Stories, and she wrote that the little girl “burps sunshine” with a winky face, some people took this as a clue! Theories started to arise that they named the newborn Hemera, who is the Goddess of day, or Theia, after the Goddess of light.
“My best friend and I were speaking about how Gigi could’ve hinted that the name is sunshine related because of the wink next to sunshine. And knowing of Zayn’s love for Greek mythology,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “What if her name is Hemera (goddess of day) or Theia (goddess of light).”

Others Have Theorized That They Named Her Augustine
When the 25-year-old posted a throwback pic of Malik resting his head on her baby bump, and captioned it, “August, waiting for our girl,” fans quickly started analyzing it. Some people started to wonder if the couple named the baby August or Augustine, especially since Taylor Swift recently revealed in her Folklore: Long Pond Studio Sessions movie that the girl in her song “August” is named Augustine.

In the past, the singer has used her friend’s baby names for inspiration — for example, she used Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively‘s kids’ names in her song “Betty.”
“What if Augusta/Augustine/August is the name of Gigi and Zayn’s baby girl since Betty, James and Inez are Blake and Ryan’s?” one fan suggested on Twitter.

There’s Also Rumors That They Named Their Daughter Melek
Another fan on Twitter pointed out that Malik, Hadid and all of Hadid’s family have referred to their baby as “Angel” numerous times online. So they suggested that the couple may have named their daughter Melek, which is “a common name in Islam and it’s a derivation of ‘almalak’ which stands for ‘angel’ in Arabic.”
Alright, #zigi baby name theory: it’s Melek. Melek is a common name in islam and it’s a derivation of “almalak” which stands for “angel” in Arabic. To mention that the entire family refered to the baby as “an angel” ever since Gigi was pregnant https://t.co/OXQxGzmV3M
