boy, who weighs 3.5 kilograms (9

mothers in Rieti hospital have begun

La Repubblica said she gave birth on
Wednesday.
ANSA said the nun had named her baby
Francesco (Francis) -- also the pope's chosen
title and one of the most popular names in
Italy, where St Francis of Assisi is the much-
loved national patron saint.
The hospital could not be reached for
comment.

The nun belongs to the "Little Disciples of
Jesus" convent in Campomoro near Rieti,
which manages an old people's home and
reports said she would keep the baby.

Her fellow nuns were quoted saying they were
"very surprised".
