Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been tight lipped on the name of their new baby girl, but it seems a source has leaked the little girl's name anyway...

It's been a busy first couple of months for baby Lively-Reynolds. The world hasn't even caught a glimpse of what is likely to be the most beautiful little girl ever and she's already making headlines.

First it was 'revealed' by a nurse at the hospital where Blake gave birth that the baby's name was Violet. Then new dad Ryan Reynolds squashed those rumours flat, by saying they definitely had NOT chosen that name. Plus, there's all of the really sweet things Ryan has been saying about becoming a dad that have kept their child firmly in everyone's minds.

And now the baby formally known as Violet is back in the limelight as a source has told E! News that the couple have actually chosen the name James for their first born.

Ryan has said previously that they had chosen a family name and as his father is called Jim, that would make total sense. Blake is also named after her grandmother's brother, so perhaps naming girls after boys is also a family tradition...
