“We named her after my father,” the actor said of he and Blake Lively’s decision to give their daughter a name traditionally for boys.
Ryan’s Dad passed away in October aged 74 following a 20-year battle with Parkinsons shortly after his first granddaughter was born in the previous December.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, the 39 year old added that compared to other celebrity baby names, it really shouldn’t be that shocking.
“In the spectrum of weird celebrity baby names, I feel like we’re not really breaking any new ground here,” he added.

“It’s not like Summer Squash Meadow Lark, or something. I also thought of all the letters being silent in her name, so it would be just be ‘haaaa’.”
Ryan went on to say how much he is loving fatherhood, despite his daughter being at the troublesome teething stage.
“She’s teething at the moment. I love being a father. I don’t want to be one of those celebs who talks about being a parent like they’re the only person in the world who has ever done it.”
