When Calls the Heart is Hallmark Channel’s drama series following Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high-society life who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley (now named Hope Valley), a small coal-mining town in western Canada where life is simple but not without its challenges. The show, which premiered in July 2014, is based on Janette Oke’s novel of the same title from her Canadian West book series. The show is currently in its tenth season.
Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith portray Rosemary Coulter and Leeland “Lee” Coulter, respectively, on When Calls the Heart. Rosemary arrived in Season 1 of Hope Valley to rekindle her relationship with Constable Jack Thornton. After her attempts to win Jack back from Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) are unsuccessful, she falls in love with Lee, the owner of the sawmill. The beloved couple started dating in Season 2 and were married by Season 3.

The Coulters have long wanted to start a family, but they struggled with fertility issues. At one point, they almost were ready to adopt. Finally, in the Season 9 finale, it was revealed that the fan-favorite couple was expecting after years of waiting. The couple welcomed their daughter in Season 10, Episode 4, “Great Expectations.” Although Baby Coulter is late, the whole town is there to support Rosemary by the time she goes into labor.
Rosemary and Lee are adjusting to their lives as parents. Their little one is only three weeks old, so their newborn needs a lot of love and attention (including diaper changes, feedings, naps and more). Although their friends offered to help them out, the reluctant pair assured them that they were fine. Finally, Rosemary agreed to let Elizabeth help her. “I had felt… we wouldn’t be good parents if we asked for help,” Rosemary admitted. “You too have shown us it’s more than alright to ask for help.”
Now that baby Coulter is here, when is there child’s name revealed and what is it? Keep reading to find out.
What’s Rosemary and Lee’s baby’s name on When Calls the Heart?
What’s Rosemary and Lee’s baby’s name on When Calls the Heart? We finally know the answer! The beloved couple named their newborn daughter “Marigold” or “Goldie” for short, after Rosemary’s mother. The baby’s middle name is Elizabeth (after her godmother Elizabeth Thatcher).
Rosemary was inspired to name her daughter Goldie in Season 10, Episode 6. In the episode, Rosemary is coming to terms that her mother abandoned her, and she can’t understand how her own mother left her when she was young.
“One of the hardest roles to play is a motherless mother,” Faith Carter (Andrea Brooks) says to Rosemary, to which Rosemary responds, “I miss her.” We also see Rosemary speak to Elizabeth about her mother. She says that she has “so many questions” and then asks Elizabeth, “How could she leave me?”
We learn that Rosemary’s mother died when Rosemary was 18 before the two could reunite. And, the mystery trunk we saw earlier in the season actually contains items that belonged to Rosemary’s late mother. Rosemary didn’t want to open the trunk and even ordered Lee to give it away. But finally, Rosemary decides that she wants to to get closure. Inside the trunk, we find out that when her mother left her father, the law gave him sole custody of their children. Rosemary’s mom sent her daughter letters, but Rosemary’s father never gave them to her.
Although Rosemary lost out on getting to know her while she was alive, she finds comfort that her mother always loved her. This leads Rosemary to an obvious conclusion: Her daughter will be named after her late mother.
On August 28, the official Hallmark Channel Twitter account asked fans what they wanted their child’s name to be. “Rosemary @HuttonPascale and Lee @KavanjSmith love being parents! #Hearties what name will they choose for their precious girl?” the account tweeted.

“It’s gotta be something extravagant, nothing else would do for their bundle of perfection!” one user commented. While another suggested naming the newborn “Hope” after Hope Valley. “If they name her after Rosemary’s mother, it’s gonna be a head scratchers because her mother abandoned her. I’m good with any other name though. Maybe Hope?” a user responded. “Or after Lee’s brother, so Patricia? Rosemary named Hope Valley after all. #Hearties.”
When Calls the Heart airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.
