JWoWW gave birth earlier this month...
Jersey Shore stars Jenni "JWoWW" Farley and Roger Mathews welcomed their first child, daughter Meilani Alexandra on July 13. While many Jersey Shore fans thought that Jenni would choose an Italian moniker for her baby, just like her BFF Snooki did with her son Lorenzo, Jenni instead opted to go with a Hawaiian name.
In a new interview with In Touch Weekly, Jenni revealed why she named her daughter Meilani.

"Meilani is the most perfect baby," Jenni told In Touch. "[Her name] means 'heavenly flower' in Hawaiian."
Before giving birth, Jenni told WetPaint that she and Roger wanted to give their baby a unique name.
"Because I'm a Jenni, I don't want it to be too generic, and popular," she told the site. "I grew up with 4,000 Jennifers. I want her to have her own name that stands out."
Jenni, a former party girl known for getting into fights during her days on Jersey Shore, told the magazine that becoming a mother has changed her for the better.
"It's weird because now that I have her, I don't think I've ever slept less in my life. But I've never been more content," said Jenni, who added that she has no help from nannies or family members. "Having her really changed my life in the best possible way."
Becoming a parent has also changed Jenni's fiancé, Roger.
"I do diapers and get up with Jenni as much as I can at night. I think it's only fair," Roger told the magazine. "My family is my priority."
