Blake Lively made an appearance on Good Morning America recently and took the opportunity to talk about her daughter.

Many people were wondering why Blake and husband, Ryan Reynolds decided to call their daughter James.

Luckily, Blake has finally revealed the truth – and we think it is absolutely adorable.

"It's a family name," she said.

She then added: "And I liked having a boy's name, I thought I'd pass it along."

Blake was also on Live! With Kelly and Michael where she joked "I want a maternity test" because her daughter looks so much more like Ryan than Blake.

The gorgeous actress gave birth to the couple's first child in December. She is now busy on a press tour for Age Of Adaline.

Just days after Amber Tamblyn claimed that herself, America Ferrara and Alexis Bledel are the godmothers of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds baby daughter, Blake has confirmed otherwise.

She has told E! News, “I never named them my godmothers.”

“They’re my dear friends, I would say my baby has a lot of fairy godmothers.”

Taking a step outside that sisterhood and into a more personal one, Blake has named her older sister Robyn, 43, as godmother.

“My sister would be the one to take care of my baby.”

Aw!

So why did Amber Tamblyn say otherwise? 

Blake gave birth to baby James in December. Husband Ryan Reynolds only confirmed their daughters name recently. 

No doubt the pair are very busy adjusting to parenthood while Ryan is also very busy filming for Deadpool in Vancouver.

The star was involved in a hit-and-run in Vancouver on Sunday involving the paparazzi, but luckily nobody was harmed. 

It’s an incredibly exciting time for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, having recently welcomed their daughter, James, to the world.

However, drama is never too far away in Hollywood, as the latest reports regarding the couple have proven.

According to sources, the couple have been dragged into a photo scandal, with private photos of their newborn daughter reportedly stolen by a former close friend.

It is believed that a laptop containing at least 15 private photos of little James was stolen from the couple’s home, with the images now up for sale to the highest bidder.

Among the images is said to be one of doting dad Ryan cradling his daughter against his chest, with James’ hospital wrist tag clearly visible.

Given how private the couple have been when it comes to their daughter, even keeping the details of her name a secret, we can’t imagine how horrified they must be.

Let’s hope that they are able to get the images back before they are leaked and show up everywhere.

When it comes to news about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, we all get so excited, so it is no surprise that we could hardly contain our excitement when we discovered who baby James’ godmothers are.

Blake’s Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants co-stars- Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrara and Alexis Bledel have all been granted the honour of each being a godmother to the daughter of our favourite Hollywood couple.

Amber Tamblyn confirmed the news when asked “You’re still very close with your co-stars and the three of you are godmothers to Blake Lively’s baby, is that a fact?” Tamblyn replied “Yes, that is a fact.”

Awww!

She gave birth to baby James last year, who’s name was only recently confirmed. This is her first child with husband Ryan Reynolds.

They are one of the cutest couples in Hollywood, and appear to be happier than ever after welcoming their first child together.

It seems that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds also share a similar sense of humour, if new mum Blake’s latest Instagram snap is anything to go by!

Blake got up to some mischief after Ryan shared the first glimpse of his costume for his latest movie, Deadpool, in which he is seen lying on a bear rug in front of a fire.

Ryan’s wife couldn’t help but draw comparison between him and legendary actor Burt Reynolds, in one of his most famous and risqué photo shoots.

Clearly amused, former Gossip Girl star Blake captioned the photo: “Now for this week’s WHO WORE IT BETTER…Reynolds vs Reynolds. I vote for a reshoot: wearing only the mask.”

The 27-year-old added the adorable hashtags ‘Ryan Reynolds rocks my socks’ and ‘Can someone please give that bear a break’.

Could they get any cuter?

Of course, seeing Ryan playing a superhero has no doubt brought back fond memories for Blake, who first met her husband when they starred together in action flick Green Lantern.

Could we love these two any more?

Ok… it's not Violet… it's not Excalibur Anaconda… but it's still a little weird!

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds welcomed their first child together, a little girl, just after Christmas.

As with many celebrity couples, they have tried hard to keep all details about their new arrival under wraps. We don't expect to see a picture of Baby Reynolds-Lively anytime soon, but we finally have confirmation of her name from Ryan himself!

The actor revealed the truth during a TODAY appearance, although he couldn't resist joking around a bit first.

"It is Butternut Summersquash,” the 38-year-old said. “No, it’s out there! It’s out there. It’s James. Everyone knows and I told everyone who would listen that.”

Rumours that the couple had indeed named their daughter James began circulating about a month ago, and it seems they were indeed correct.

"Before it was out there I didn’t want to be the first guy screaming it out to the media 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?’"

What a considerate dad – little James is a very lucky girl!

There has been an incredible amount of rumours surrounding the name of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s newborn daughter.

From Violet to Jamie, the media has been in overdrive, but no confirmation or announcement has been made by the couple yet.

In fact, Ryan has decided to reveal why they are keeping their little girl’s name a secret – by claiming there’s no secret…eh?

“There’s zero secret about it,” the actor told the Associated Press, “That little girl will grow up to be a teenager who will find out I blurted her name out on national television and probable make me pay for it. She will exact her revenge in searing, psychic pain.”

Wow, dramatic much Ryan?!

Getting a little more serious, it seems that their choice not to reveal their child’s name is all down to her right to privacy, which is understandable: “When you put yourself in the public eye, you have to accept certain aspects of it. [But] I think to some degree, if you don’t court it, you don’t have to deal with it so much.”

Hmm, it looks as if we will be waiting a long time to find out this Hollywood baby’s name! We’ll just settle on Jamie for now. 

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been working very hard to keep their new daughter's name out of the media since she was born back in December.

Early reports based on a now-deleted tweet from Westchester Medical Centre suggested that the Lively-Reynolds baby had been named Violet, but those later turned out to be false. Even after repeated grilling from TV host David Letterman recently, all Ryan would divulge was that they had chosen a traditional family name, and nothing more. 

Well, they weren't lying about choosing a traditional name, but it's certainly not the one we were expecting!

A source close to the couple has finally revealed the star couple's choice to E! News, and while nothing has been revealed by the couple yet, this is the closest we've had to confirmation of a name so far.

So, here it is! Welcome to the world little… James?!

Yes, we were definitely more than a little taken aback at Blake and Ryan's decision, but when you consider that Blake is not exactly the most feminine of names either, it does make a little more sense. 

There's no word from Blake or Ryan, but we reckon it can't be long until we find out for sure!

What we are more than certain of is that the couple are already doing a great job of parenting as a team. Ryan recently spoke about his complete lack of sleep since his little girl arrived, confessing, "I don't sleep very much. It's great. It's wonderful. But my brain is elsewhere… 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.''

We can't wait to see pictures of little James, if that IS her real name!
