Ever since the couple announced that they are expecting a baby, fans have shared theories regarding both the baby's gender and name.

On Tuesday, May 21 a Reddit user claimed that the child could be named 'Emory Bieber' after finding an old video of Selena Gomez, 31, while she was still dating Justin Bieber.

In the 2010 throwback clip, the pop star sat on a stage while answering questions from a live audience.

One fan recorded while another asked, "If you had a baby, what would you name it?



 

The stage room erupted into laughter when Selena made a shocked facial expression. before holding the microphone up to answer.

However, she then playfully replied, "Let's see," before jokingly adding, "I've had these names picked out for a while."

"Let's see, I like Emory, which is e-m-o-r-y. Emory, insert my husband's last name," the songwriter continued. "Yeah, Emory Bieber," she added as the crowd erupted into laughter once again.

After viewing the video, fans reposted it on Reddit, where many speculated that 27-year-old Hailey might name her future child after Selena's favorite name.

During an interview with E! News, Hailey stated that the pair were "not an exclusive couple," adding, "relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don't really like to talk about it because it's between me and him."

Fans weigh in on Bieber's unborn baby's name

Several social media users thought that it wouldn't be cool for Hailey to use "Emory" as their unborn child's name. A Reddit user wrote, "If she does, people WILL notice."

Another user wrote, "she'll get hated on massively again lol." [sic]

A user wrote, "I don’t think they will name the baby Emory, it will just confirm to some people she is in fact a stalker & obsessed with Selena."

Another user said, "Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if Swimfan would chose that name just to get under Selena’s skin, even as a middle name, I’d feel like Selena wouldn’t be unfazed by that." [sic]

A user said, "I bet she will name it something super close to that lmfao she likes to copy the other girls just close enough that it's noticeable but not super obvious so she can deny it, & make it seem like it's 'just a coincidence.'" [sic]
