'Sister Wives' News: Robyn and Kody Brown to Name New Baby After Meri?

'Sister Wives' star Robyn is expecting a baby girl with polygamous patriarch Kody Brown. The baby is not due until January 2016, but a new report surfaced that as early as now, Robyn and Kody are planning to name their daughter after first wife Meri.

Meri is currently making the rounds in the rumor mill for her online affair, which turned out to be a catfishing scandal. Teasers for the "Sister Wives" season finale show Meri divulging details of her affair to the entire family.

"I'm in this place where I just feel so alone, isolated, lonely," she says in between tears. "I don't think anybody in my family can relate.

Despite Meri's shocking admission, a source for Hollywood Life reports that the entire Brown family has come together in support for her. Robyn and Kody are even planning to name the newest addition to the family after Meri.

"They've all vowed to make sure she never feels that way again, since she came clean the whole family has rallied around her to show their love," the source said. "It would be a tribute to her, to let her know how important she still is."

Another fitting reason for the sweet notion is because of Meri's previous selfless act. The 44-year-old wife has agreed to legally divorce Kody early this year, so he could marry fourth wife Robyn instead. This is crucial so the family can formally adopt Robyn's three children from her previous marriage.

Fans of the polygamous family have speculated that Meri's loneliness started around this time, when she began to feel left out.

"Meri would love it if they name the baby after her, it would show her that they've truly forgiven her and maybe then she'd be able to forgive herself," the insider added.

Details of Meri's catfishing scandal will play out on "Sister Wives" season finale, airing tonight, Nov. 15, 9 p.m. on TLC.
