During a Wednesday appearance on Late Show with David Letterman, new dad Ryan Reynolds talked family life with wife Blake Lively and their newborn daughter.

In an attempt to discover his baby’s name (which we know is not Violet), Letterman went through a series of different monikers, including Madison, Isabella and Sophia.

“I should’ve worn my cup!” Reynolds joked. “I didn’t know I was going to busted this hard.”

After confirming that it is a family name, Reynolds went on to say, “It’s not Elaine,” which is his MIL’s name.

All joking aside, The Voices actor, 38, went on to gush about his happy family life.

“It’s amazing,” he shared. “When we had that baby I fell more in love with my wife than I had ever been in my entire life.”

But the actor quickly returned to his usual humor.

“I would use my wife as a human shield to protect that baby,” he joked. “You can quote me.”

As for caring for a newborn, he’s been on diaper duty while his wife acts as “breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

“She’s a human Denny’s all day long and all night long,” he joked. “But the most beautiful Denny’s you’ve ever seen.”
