Zee News reports that the couple have now decided to name the girl India Jeanne Jonty Rhodes.
According to this Deccan Chronicle report, the baby, born in Surya Mother and Child Care Hospital in Santacruz west, in the midst of IPL, is a water baby. The couple have been preparing for a water birth for a while
Water births are not as common in India, but recommended by doctors around the globe because it is a way more natural way of childbirth and is also less painful for the mother.
''Birthing in water is considered to be one of the most beneficial options for a woman and her baby. It creates a naturally calm and peaceful atmosphere and allows the freedom of movement and pain release,'' said Dr Avasthi, from the Surya Mother and Child Care hospital, in a Times of India report.
Now, Rhodes' decision to name the child India has resulted in a twitter trend
