What's in a name?
Hero was a priestess of Aphrodite, whose lover Leander would swim across the Hellespont to visit her in her tower.
Hero was also the name of a character in William Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing, portrayed by Kate Beckinsale in the 1993 film adaptation.
The baby's second name Harper is a unisex name, which literally means a person who plays a harp.
She wrote on Twitter: 'Sitting on the tube munching on a pack of Rolos. This is the life... A timely arrival would surely flummox them (London Underground.'
After being photographed heavily pregnant in London this week, Klass thanked her fans for calling her 'blooming', insisting she felt anything but.
She said: 'To everyone that says "I'm blooming", thank you, how very polite. To those that say I look ready to burst, in short, I AM.'
Klass announced in September that she was expecting her second child with Quinn.
She admitted the couple had spent 18 months struggling to conceive.
Klass revealed she had started 'panicking' after not falling pregnant so easily like she had done with Ava and doctors even suggested in-vitro fertilisation to her.
She told She magazine: 'Ava was a surprise so I assumed it would be easy, but it wasn’t. It’s been tough. You get to the stage where every month you’re waiting, and then when you’re not pregnant, it’s so disappointing.
'I was panicking a bit. The doctors started talking about IVF and I was upset. You think, "This is serious, what if it doesn’t happen?"'
