Ryan Reynolds talks about naming his baby daughter after his father who passed away last October after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. "My father just passed away, but my daughter's named after him," he said on ITV's "Good Morning Britain".

When the host mentioned that the name James was unusual for female, the actor joked, "In the spectrum of weird celebrity baby names, I feel like we're really not breaking new ground here. I didn't call her Summer Squash Meadowlark."

The "Deadpool" actor added, "I also thought of going with all the letters silent in her name and it'd just be pronounced [long breath out]. I'm just giving dumb celebrities ideas."

"She's teething at the moment," he said of his baby girl. "I love being a father." He continued, "I don't want to be one of those celebs who talks about being a parent like they're the only person in the world who has ever managed to conceive and bear a child. It's the most common thing in the world but the most profound. It's super fun. I just love it."
