Welcome to the world, Olympia Lightning Bolt!

This gorgeous girl is the daughter of Usain Bolt, the faster male sprinter of all time.

She was born on 17 May and her names might well be a reference to her dad's record-breaking success on the track.

The first-time dad revealed her name on Twitter, whilst wishing Olympia's mum a happy birthday.

"I want to wish my gf Kasi a happy birthday," Bolt wrote.

"We have started a new chapter together with our daughter Olympia Lightning Bolt."

Elon Musk and singer Grimes caused quite the stir on the internet after revealing they had named their baby X Æ A-12 on social media.

Some other well known stars have been perhaps less imaginative than these names.

Former boxing superstar George Forman named all five of his sons George… George II, George III, George IV, George V and George VI! Presumably he just really loves the name George.
