Kendra Wilkinson Baby Girl Given Biblical Name

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are parents for the second time and have chosen an extra-special name for their first daughter. They chose to name her Alijah, pronounced exactly like Elijah, which is a Biblical name meaning "The Lord is My God."

Wilkinson and Bassett chose the full name Alijah Mary Baskett for their little girl five days after she was born. Alijah made her debut on Friday, May 16. The couple both took to Twitter to share the news of her impending arrival and then her arrival via C-section at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.

"This is it guys. It's time. Love you all n tweet to ya again when I can. Xoxoxo," Wilkinson tweeted before going into the hospital.

"Thank you to all the congrats & well wishes y'all have sent! Been a busy cpl of days but happy to say both my ladies are home & doing great!" Baskett tweeted the following Tuesday.

"I feel great and I am so happy," he told Us Weekly soon after the birth. "The baby is healthy with all 10 fingers and all 10 toes. She is great and did an amazing job," he said of Wilkinson.

Daughter Alijah joins her 4-year-old brother Hank Jr. at home in California. Apparently Hank Jr. was eager for a sibling and told his mother he wanted a "baby brother." Unfortunately, though, he'll have to settle for a baby sister this time.

"He's that mature," Wilkinson told ABC News of her son, "to be able to look and see his friends having little siblings and he's able to look up at me and be like, 'Momma, I want a baby brother.' He doesn't know where it comes from, so he thinks we just go buy one from the store, so I tell him, 'Just be patient. You'll get one soon.'"

The pregnancy and birth will be aired as part of the couple's reality series, "Kendra On Top."
