In case you didn’t hear the moans of agony when the news was announced a couple months ago, Ryan Gosling got Eva Mendes pregnant, and now the glorious child has been brought forth into the world!

Yes, Mendes gave birth nearly a month ago, and the couple has maintained a characteristically low profile ever since.

Details about the child of the Beautiful People have been slow in coming, but today we finally learned the Gosling-Mendes baby name:

Esmerelda Amada Gosling is a refreshingly non-bizarre celebrity baby name, but there are some interesting rumors about the origin of the moniker:

It seems Amada is the name of the character Mendes played in the 2007 film We Own the Night.

The movie wasn’t a major hit, but it clearly had a major impact on Mendes. Unless, the name “Amada” was chosen coincidentally, which we highly doubt.

Anyway, it’s a cute name chosen by gorgeous parents. What’s not to like? Well, aside from the fact that both Ryan and Eva are still off the market, but the world will get over that eventually, right?
