The wife of Irish rugby star Joanna Cooper has admitted she is feeling pressure about picking a baby name. The couple are set to welcome their newborn in the coming weeks.

Husband and wife Conor and Joanna are set to welcome their first child soon, and model Joanna says she is feeling the pressure and is indecisive.

Cooper took to Instagram to open up on the baby naming experience and also revealed they are keeping the gender as a secret until the big day.

Taking to Instagram, Joanna said: "‘We don’t know the gender & we also can’t decide on names" while also admitting the couple have a few favourites and are indecisive about the whole thing.

"The pressure of picking one name they’ll have forever is a bit too much for me," she added.

Irish Rugby star Murray also recently spoke about the experience, saying: "With boys’ names I’ve said no to 90% of the suggestions because it’s the name of somebody on the team or somebody I’ve met along the way.

"Girls’ names are way easier. We don’t know what we’re having, so if it’s a boy he could remain nameless for a bit."

Conor and Joanna will be based in Limerick when the baby arrives next month, but they plan on moving to Dublin in the future.

I’ve been with Munster all of my career. I’ve at least another year left.

"Where we’ll go after is the million dollar question. We are in Limerick at the moment, but she is from Derry.

"We drove up there the other day and I am still tired from it. So we will go for somewhere in the middle, maybe. Dublin could be the ideal landing spot when rugby finishes up."

Murray and Cooper tied the knot in June of this year after being long term partners.
