The child, who the couple have named Kai Wayne Rooney, was born at Liverpool Womens Hospital. Their spokesman said: Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life. Rooney, 24, missed training for his club Manchester United over concerns Coleen was set to give birth and he may miss tonights game. The name Kai has a range of meanings. In Welsh and Scottish, it means keeper of the keys, while for people in Hawaii, Kai means the sea. In Maori it translates as food.
