Dido has laughed off suggestions that her son is named after her famous song with Eminem.

Dido and her husband Rohan Gavin welcomed their son Stanley in July 2011, but his moniker sparked rumours that he had been named after the 2000 single 'Stan'.

The singer has now told People that she never even thought people would suggest her son was named in tribute to the song.

"Stanley was actually our favourite name - coincidentally, both of our favourite names," she said. "He could never have been called anything else, to be honest. I'm so stupid, I didn't think anyone would make the connection."

Dido joked: "It's fine. I was named after a crazy queen who threw herself on a fire."

The musician added that becoming a mother has completely changed her outlook on life, saying: "I really see the world through his eyes and it gives this real freshness to everything.

"It's like you thought you were going to run out of things to ever write about, you have a kid, then you're never going to run out because suddenly everything is sort of limitless again and fresh and new and it's like this amazing new start."

Dido's latest album Girl Who Got Away was released last month.
