Torresani also explains that she and Adams landed on the name Lady after searching for something “as unique as the experience we’ve had bringing her into this world so far,” and Francis is a beloved name on both sides of their growing family.
“After 21 hours of labor, much of which consisted of dancing out to Frank Sinatra and Frankie Valli, but still without an ‘official’ name, we started to realize that there might be no other name for her but Lady! We are looking forward to her redefining a word we might think we know,” Torresani adds.
