    The proud new mom, and her fiance, Jionni LaValle, explained that the baby's name has special meaning.

    "We were going back and forth, and I just happened to think of Lorenzo," Jionni told the mag, noting he knew a child from his hometown with the same name.

    The baby's middle name is in honor of Snooki's late uncle.
