Colleen Ballinger has been freaking out about sharing her baby name.
But the YouTuber finally declared that she did not care if everyone hated it when she hesitantly revealed the moniker on Sunday night in her latest online post.
Miranda Sings star Colleen and her partner Eric have decided to call the baby Flynn Timothy Stocklin because it has really special significance to her family.
Colleen explained: His first, middle and last name are all family names that mean a lot to us. Obviously Stocklin is Erics last name and I adore him, he is my everything.
Explaining why the baby wont take Ballinger, she added: We wanted his last name to be the same as Erics, we knew that from the second I got pregnant, really. We were like obviously hes going to be a Stocklin.

He is the first grandchild in his family and we just thought it was really important to pass on his family name.
On his middle name, she explained: Timothy is my dads name. My dad is my hero. I wanted my dads name to be somehow incorporated into his name.
Colleen said her kind, wonderful, caring, giving and selfless dad would be the best rolemodel ever for her son, which is why they wanted him to be named after his grandfather.
After that, Colleen revealed how Flynn had a strong connection to Erics Irish heritage.
Coincidentally, they chose a pin of the name Flynn when they last visited Ireland and Eric found it at the bottom of Colleens handbag on the day she went into labour.
Flynn is Erics middle name, Colleen explained. And its his dads middle name and its his great, great, great grandfathers last name.
Before making the name reveal, Colleen hesitated, saying she was scared and nervous about the reaction.
