Little YNWA – pronounced Yee-Nwa – is now 4 and almost as devoted to Liverpool as her Norwegian super fan dad, Tor-Eric Iversen.

But she has tweaked her name a little, adding the less unusual Karoline in front of YNWA.

According to Tor-Eric's wife Eirin, he originally wanted to call their daughter Gerrard – after Liverpool's midfielder and captain Steven Gerrard. But the couple agreed on YNWA as a compromise.

"I'm probably not as interested in football, but it was actually my suggestion to call her YNWA," Eirin told Norweigan paper Dagbladry. "He'd suggested Gerrard before we knew if it was a boy or girl."
