Ardern or Gayford? 'I'll probably try and sneak in my name somehow' – PM on baby's last name

January 19, 2018

She said double-barrel last names could be a bit complicated.

The Prime Minister of New Zealand has revealed what will probably be the last name of her baby with partner Clarke Gayford. 

Jacinda Ardern said the double-barrel last name can get a bit complicated. 

"So probably likely a Gayford." 

However, she said she would like something from her side, too.

"I'll probably try sneak in my name somehow."

While there was talk of both first and last names today, Ms Ardern said for now they are keeping the baby's gender a secret. 

Ms Adern said this felt like as good of a time as any to share the news that they are expecting parents.

The baby is due in mid-June.
