A mother has named her baby daughter Angela Merkel Muhammed - after the German Chancellor let her family into the country to start a new life.
The little girl was born last week to a migrant couple who fled the war in Syria in a bid to settle in Europe.
Asia Faray decided to name her daughter in honour of the 63-year-old whose policies allowed them to move there in 2015.
The St. Franziskus Hospital in the western city of Muenster confirmed her first name is Angela, her middle name is Merkel, and last name is their family name of Muhammed.
But she's not the first new Angela Merkel - another baby was given the chancellor's name by a family seeking asylum in the city of Duisburg in 2015.
