The story behind Candice Accola and Joe King’s baby name.

The only thing cuter than a baby, is a celebrity baby.

And the only thing cuter than that is an adorable name to match.

Vampire Diaries star Candice Accola and her musician husband, The Fray’s Joe King, gave birth to a baby girl a fortnight ago, and as is the trend these days, announced her arrival and her name via Instagram this week.

I’m in love again.

The image features the newborn’s feet on a white blanket embroidered with the name of the new arrival, Florence May King, along with her birth-date.

So what is the significance of the name? King and Accola got engaged in Florence in May, 2013. Which, we presume, would explain Florence May.

Florence May is 28-year-old Accola’s first child, and a third daughter for King.

The couple began dating after they met at a Super Bowl event in February 2011,  were engaged by May 2013, and married on October 18, 2014 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

We wish them luck as parents together.
