London, Nov 20 A couple from Poole are said to have named their new born baby daughter after the place she was born in - a Kia Carens people carrier.

Samantha Smyth, 23, and Tony Richardson, 24, had at first decided to name their baby Tilley, but changed their minds when their daughter was born in the vehicle as they were on their way to the Poole Hospital.

The umbilical cord was around Kia's neck but as the car arrived staff rushed out of the hospital to cut it off.

"She literally came flying out. It was the best birth I've had," Sky News quoted Smyth, now a mother of three, as telling the Daily Echo newspaper in Bournemouth.

"It was horrible to see the umbilical cord but the nurses were so quick it was unbelievable," she added.

The baby was born two weeks early, weighing in at 6lb 7oz, and Kia Motors have given her parents a new car. (ANI)
