“People keep asking us where Aura came from but we don’t really know. It was on our list. We just both loved the name and we don’t know anyone else with it.
“Her middle name is Olivia as that was my nan’s middle name,” explained Louisa, who plays Ruby Allen on the BBC soap.
She added: “We wanted something quite different but not really out there and something that will carry her through every stage of her life.”
Louisa went on to confess that she didn’t exactly have the easiest time giving birth.
