Last month, Lucy teased that they were planning to give their child a name with the first initial 'W'. She shared a photo of herself modelling a necklace that featured the letter and commented: "Little hint for baby's name." As reported by the Mirror at the time, Lucy told fans that the couple were "90% sure" of the name they had decided. She described it as "very uncommon but traditional at the same time," adding: "I'm sure [of it] but James isn't 100% but I'm the decisive one and he hates making decisions."
Lucy further shared in a Q&A ahead of her son's arrival that she was "nervous" for the birth. She's quoted as having said in response to a fan who asked if she was "nervous" about it: "Yes!! The bigger he grows the more excited I get, but there's always that voice in the back of my head [saying] 'he's going to have to come out of there at some point' and it does terrify me."
