Margot Robbie, the acclaimed actress known for her roles in "Suicide Squad" and "Barbie," has ignited a flurry of speculation regarding her baby's name. 

This comes after The Daily Mail published photos over the weekend showing Robbie with a noticeable baby bump while vacationing with her husband, Tom Ackerley, at Lake Como, Italy.

While the couple has yet to confirm the pregnancy, fans are already buzzing with name suggestions inspired by Robbie's famous film characters. 

One X user pleaded, "Margot, I know you're reading this, please name the baby Harley." 

Another fan expressed, "If Margot doesn't name her first baby 'Harley' I'm gonna throw a fit."

The excitement doesn't stop with Harley Quinn references. 

Some fans are hoping the actress will consider naming her child Barbie, in honor of her role in the popular film. 

"If Margot Robbie doesn’t name her kid Barbie, I’ll cry," one wrote, while another pointed out, "Well, she has the perfect opportunity to name her kid Barbie, and plus it’s almost the one year anniversary."

Robbie has been open about her desire for a large family. 

In a 2018 interview with Net-A-Porter, she envisioned a future filled with children, stating, "If I'm looking into my future 30 years from now, I want to see a big Christmas dinner with tons of kids there." 

However, she has also expressed frustration with societal expectations regarding motherhood. 

Speaking to Radio Times in 2019, she said, "I'm so angry that there's this social contract. You're married, now have a baby. Don't presume. I'll do what I'm going to do."

Robbie and Ackerley, who have been married since December 2016, first met on the set of the 2013 film "Suite Française." 

The couple has maintained a private relationship, including their engagement and wedding. 

Together, they founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment, with Robbie often praising Ackerley for his unwavering support throughout her career. 

In a 2021 interview with the Daily Mirror, she shared, "Every time I do a movie, I turn to my husband and I'm like 'I don't think I can do this.' He says something like, 'You do this every time. You'll be fine.'"

As fans eagerly await an official announcement, the speculation surrounding Robbie's potential baby names continues to grow, adding a layer of excitement to the already joyous news.
