Scottish influencer Jamie Genevieve has announced the birth of her second child, a daughter named Leonora, who arrived on the day of the solar eclipse. The 33-year-old makeup mogul shared the news with her 1.3 million Instagram followers, revealing the name in a post featuring the newborn.
Born Under the Eclipse
In the post, Jamie, who shares the baby with husband Jack McCann, wrote: “Born under the eclipse, our girl Leonora.” The name Leonora, often associated with light and brightness, is considered fitting for a baby born during an eclipse, when the sun briefly disappears and then returns.
Fans reacted with delight, with one commenting: "Aww, amazing news! Congratulations!! I love the name, so unusual. And under an eclipse! Destined for great things." Another wrote: "Omg, what a beautiful name. Congratulations to you all. Welcome to the world, Leonora." A third added: "Gorgeous name for another gorgeous girlie! Congratulations to you both!"
From Makeup Artist to CEO
Jamie Genevieve, born Jamie Grant, is a Scottish makeup artist, influencer, and beauty brand founder. She grew up in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, and now lives in Glasgow with her family. Her interest in beauty began in childhood, watching her mum apply lipstick in the car, and she later worked at makeup counters in Glasgow.
Her career took off after she started posting makeup videos online, building a large community of beauty fans. She later launched VIEVE, a vegan and cruelty-free makeup line. In 2025, she was named in The Sunday Times inaugural Beauty Rich List, with an estimated personal net worth of approximately £15 million.
Family Life
Jamie's followers also enjoy updates on her personal life, including her marriage to Jack and the birth of their first child, Romy, on May 9, 2023. The name Romy is traditionally a diminutive of Rosemary or Rosemarie, fitting for a May baby, as it is tied to nature and spring flowers.
The couple's thoughtful name choices for their children reflect their attention to meaningful monikers. The family now embarks on this new chapter with their second daughter.
