Halle Berry has named her new-born daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry.

The Oscar-winner said: "We didn't have a name picked out until just before we left the hospital. For us it was hard to name the most important person in our life until we met her."

Halle was described as “doing well” following the birth of her baby girl with model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry at L.A’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday.

Prior to the official announcement, it was rumoured yesterday that the proud parents were saddling their addition with tongue-twister, Clara Stella Berry-Aubry.
