Violet Reynolds had a nice ring to it, but first-time dad Ryan Reynolds denied that he and Blake Lively chose the name for their sweet baby girl. Last month while promoting his new film, "The Voices," Reynolds told USA Today, "No, that's not the name. I don't want to get into that but I don't know where that came from."
Reynolds and Lively haven't publicly revealed their daughter's name, but a source told E! News that the couple chose... James! It's different and bold, but definitely works. The 38-year-old actor recently gushed about baby girl James to E! News at Sundance, saying that he was loving every minute of fatherhood but he was suffering from a lack of sleep.
"The best thing about it - well, everything's great about it," he said. "The least impressive thing is the complete lack of sleep."
He reiterated the same sentiments to USA Today, "I don't sleep very much. It's great. It's wonderful. But my brain is elsewhere."
"It's still so new that it's hard to conceive being away for more than seven hours at a time," he continued. "I had to go to Sundance this last week. I was more excited to get a good night's sleep. It was borderline pornographic for me."
Lively, 27, and Reynolds welcomed their daughter shortly before the New Year.
