In honor of the Cubs winning their first World Series title in 108 years last November, one family decided to name their daughter, 'Wrigley.'

Well, they were going to name her that anyway but the Cubs provided a perfect beginning to the story.

She also happened to be Chicago's first baby born in 2017, delivered at 12:12 a.m. at AMITA Health Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, a couple weeks earlier than expected.

"Wrigley Rose wasn’t supposed to arrive for another few weeks, but she came into this world with two distinctions: a World Series-worthy name and the (unofficial) honor of being the first baby born in a Chicago-area hospital on New Year’s Day," her father, Aaron Dalbey, said, according to Jenniefer Smith Richards of the Chicago Tribune. "She weighs just under 6 pounds and has a bit of blondish hair, her dad, Aaron Dalbey, said. She will go home in a Cubs-colored car seat to a pink nursery."
