Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds welcomed a baby girl into the world just before the new year, and at the time a cryptic tweet led us to believe they'd named the little one, Violet.
A Twitter user, who claimed to work at the hospital where the bub was born, wrote: "Congrats @blakelively #blakelively glad to have you and baby girl violet in our care."
Despite doing the publicity rounds for his latest film, The Voices, the first-time dad never managed to let slip his daughter's name, admitting that while they know it will eventually come out, they would rather tell people personally than have it announced officially.

"We definitely [have a name]. I threw out the idea of just never naming the kid to be totally original, but we have a name. I just don't want to say it in, like, a media context. I tell everyone who I meet, so it'll come out," Ryan said during a visit to the David Letterman show.
However now it appears it has finally come out - and it is very different to what anyone expected.
A source has reportedly confirmed to E! that the little girl is in fact named James!

Whilst different, the name is rather fitting in that it's just like her mum's, whose name Blake is also not gender-specific.
Whatever her name, the little one has completely won over her daddy, with Ryan admitting he is absolutely smitten with his new family.
"I used to say to [Blake], 'I would take a bullet for you. I could never love anything as much as I love you.' I would say that to my wife. And the second I looked in that baby's eyes, I knew in that exact moment that if we were ever under attack, I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that baby."
