Halle Berry names daughter Nahla

Washington (ANI): New mum Halle Berry has revealed to the world what she and beau Gabriel Aubry have decided to name their new bundle of joy Nahla Ariela Aubry. The name Nahla, according to Michael D. Cooperson, associate professor of Arabic at UCLA, means 'honeybee' in Arabic.

On her part, the Oscar winning actress told Access Hollywood that she and Aubry had decided not to name their baby till after the birth. "We didn't have a name picked out until just before we left the hospital," People quoted her, as telling the show.

"For us it was hard to name the most important person in our life until we met her," she added. Aubry's sister, Eugenie, has in the meantime revealed that Berry has been learning to speak French, and that the newest addition to the family will also be doing so.

"It's been a long time since we've had a new baby in the family. It's very exciting. I'm a Quebecer, and it's great that she is learning how to speak French. I'm glad that the little one will speak French, too," she said.
