Only days after saying he was extremely "excited" for the arrival of his son, former Blue member Lee Ryan, 25, and his fiancée Samantha Miller welcomed their baby boy. Rain Amethyst Lee is the couple’s first child and weighed in at around 8 lbs. No further details have been released.

In June it was announced that Samantha was pregnant, but the couple officially confirmed the news in a spread with Hello! magazine, where they also revealed they were expecting a baby boy. In the same interview, Samantha hinted that, despite some doubts, they were leaning toward the name Rain Amethyst, saying it "sounds great."

Samantha’s due date had been this coming Thursday, the 4th.

   When I read ‘Rain Amethyst Lee’ what a sweet name, but must admit I thought they were announcing the birth of a daughter.
   Very sweet, but personally I prefer very masculine male names.

   Sounds like a girl’s name to me…

   Lee is somewhat known for his, shall we say, controversial behaviour though, so comes as no surprise!

   It’s a bit of a girly name and Rain Ryan doesn’t really flow but oh well.

   I’ve met Lee twice and he is a lovely man so I’m sure he’ll be a great dad.

   I can’t say I like this name for a boy, Rain Amethyst sounds a bit girlie to me. And I don’t think Rain Ryan flows very well.
   But as long as they’re happy with it it’s great!
   It’ll probably grow on me like Zuma, I didn’t like it at first either but now I think it’s alright.

   That would be such a beautiful name for a girl. On a boy….not so much.

   The name is completely feminine. They should have at least used a boy middle name.

   Rain Joseph/Christopher would have been better.

    Yeah, definitely feminine name for a boy. . . I seriously thought “Oh what a pretty name for a girl” until I realized, wait a second it’s a guy.
