"I named my baby after my favourite character from an Amazon Prime show"
- 5 months ago
A couple named their baby daughter after a warrior from the Amazon Prime TV show Vikings - and say she's lived up to her moniker.
Caitlin Miller, 30, and husband Ricky, 30, fell in love with the TV series in 2015 and have watched all six series' four times.
So it was an easy decision to call their daughter Torvi, after the popular character played by Georgia Hurst.
She was born eight weeks early and proud parents Caitlin and Ricky said she's already channeling the meaning of her name - Goddess of Thunder.
The pair, from Glasgow, Scotland, are delighted her name is so unique and she'll probably never meet anyone with the same one.
Carer Caitlin said: "Torvi's my favourite character in the show. I was adamant about calling her that.
"And I think it's a lovely name with a good strong meaning.
"The character is a strong, very caring, family oriented individual and it's the right name for our daughter.
"I admire the character and the actress. I follow everything she does on social media.
"There certainly won't be another Torvi in her class when she's at school."
Torvi was born eight weeks before her due date of December 24, on October 29 this year, weighing 3LB 1OZ?
Caitlin said her little one astounded medics by not needing oxygen and by moving onto milk earlier than expected.
She's also keeping them on their toes by pulling at her tubes and cables constantly.
Caitlin said: "She's our little miracle!
"She's still in an incubator and has lots of growing to do but she's doing amazingly well.
"The character in the show is a real fighter who has built up her life and taken her self from the bottom to the top - our Torvi is well named.
"When she had a cannula she pulled it out - and her feeding tube - and they took her off the ECG early because she was doing so well and also because she kept pulling at the cables.
"At the hospital they love her name and they also call her 'Riot'."
Caitlin and Ricky, an engineer, plan to snuggle on the sofa with Torvi when she's out of hospital and watch Vikings all over again - even though Caitlin knows it word for word.
"We just love it," she said.
"Ricky's favourite character is Ragnarok but I think that's a bit too out there for me as a next baby name," she said.
