FANS have unearthed a clue about Hailey and Justin Bieber’s baby name after the couple shared the news of their pregnancy.
The celebrity couple revealed that they were expecting in a sweet vow renewal video shared on social media earlier this month.
In the weeks since, fans have shared theories regarding both the baby’s gender and name.
On Tuesday, one claimed that the child could be named “Emory Bieber” after digging up an old video of Selena Gomez, 31, while she was still dating Justin, 30.
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 room erupted into laughter as Selena made a shocked facial expression before holding the microphone up to answer.
“Let’s see,” she began, joking, “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 laughed once again.
FAN THEORIES
Fans unearthed the video and reshared it on Reddit, where they speculated that Hailey, 27, could steal Selena’s name for her forthcoming baby with Justin.
“Baby name guesses….Emory Bieber? I recently came across an old clip of Selena talking about baby names.
“If she would have had a boy she would have named it Emory Bieber. Eversince I keep thinking that Hailey might use that name in a way,” one penned, opening up the conversation.
“If she does, people WILL notice,” a second remarked.
“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,'” a third shared.
“She’ll get hated on massively again lol. they really should stay away from it because rn the rhodents have been working overtime to try to say people copy hailey, not the other way around and this will just ruin all their hard work,” a fourth claimed.
“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 argued.

BABY GIRL BIEBER?
Hailey has been proudly showing off her developing baby bump in the weeks since announcing her first pregnancy.
In addition, the Rhode Beauty founder has sparked gender speculation after dropping various clues on social media.
Many of the couple’s followers believe they are expecting a baby girl, and the rumors were fueled when the socialite shared a carousel of photos to her Instagram account last week.
Hailey posed in low-rise jeans and a pink butterfly top in a series of shots taken during her recent vacation to Hawaii.
The shirt was covered in sparkles and hardly contained her cleavage, which spilled out the center and on the sides.
The model cradled her baby bump in the shots, showing off light glam pink makeup and her brunette hair styled straight.
Fans were convinced the pink shirt hinted that the Baby singer and his wife would welcome a little girl.
Hailey’s followers have also noticed her using various pink emojis, such as hearts and bows, and found a video of her from December in which she held a pink pacifier up to the camera.
