It has been revealed that Jamie Lynn Spears was inspired to name her newborn daughter Maddie Briann after reading a series of the Madeline children’s books.

The 17-year-old gave birth to her first child with 19-year-old fiancé Casey Aldridge on Thursday at Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss.

According to the New York Daily News, the first-time mother’s allure with the Ludwig Bemelman classics was the inspiration for her own daughter’s name.

A source says, “Jamie was a huge fan of the Madeline children’s books when she was a little girl and always wanted to name her daughter that.”
