2014 Angel Ball

During a Friday appearance on TODAY, Woman in Gold star Ryan Reynolds confirms his daughter’s name.

After welcoming his first child nearly three months ago with wife, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, the new dad, 38, has finally made the big reveal.

In his typical humorous style, The Voices star teased one last possibility before announcing her real moniker.

“It’s Butternut Summer Squash,” he jokes, and then confirms: “It’s James. Everyone knows.”

The couple — who welcomed James in late December — were hesitant to share her name in the past, but the actor went on to explain his silence.

“I didn’t want to be the first guy screaming it out to the media,” he shares. “Because as we know, little girls turn into teenage girls and little teenage girls sometimes scan through the archives and go, ‘Why did you do that?’ ”

In February, we reported that James is speculated to be their daughter’s name. At first, the baby’s name was rumored to be Violet.
