“Am loving every minute of the sleepy baby bubble. Seeing my older two embrace their new brother with such joy and excitement has been the most wonderful thing to see. We are all very smitten.
“Thank you so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH. They really are the most amazing, caring people. I feel such immense gratitude.
She added: “Now, can anyone recommend any good series/box sets to binge while breastfeeding? Time for a drink.”
So, what does the name mean?
In her post, Carrie didn’t confirm who their little boy is named after. The little boy’s first name is Frank. According to The Bump website, the name Frank means “free” and is of German origin.

The little boy’s first middle name Alfred means “wise” and “elf counsel” and is of English origin, according to many baby name websites.
Meanwhile, the newborn’s other very unique middle name Odysseus has a very interesting meaning. The name is of Greek origin and was a “a legendary king and hero” in the Odyssey and Iliad book.
The name can also mean “wrathful”.
