Last night, at 03:35, my sister Jessica gave birth to her daughter, Alicia Louise Hughes, who weighed in at 8lb 1oz.
The name Alicia is of Old German origin, and the meaning of which is “noble, exalted”.
As an Alicia, she joins the ranks of famous Alicias, such as Alicia Keys, Jodie Foster (who was born Alicia Christian Foster), and Hurricane Alicia (although, hopefully for her mother, she’ll have a less destructive force than the latter).
I’ll be heading down to Kent at some point in the near future to meet baby Alicia (and give her my traditional greeting of a manly handshake), but until then, here are some photos.
