Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes' baby name revealed

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes welcomed their first child into the world last month -- a girl -- and her name has now been revealed: Esmeralda Amada.

The birth certificate, obtained by TMZ, confirms she was born at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, at 10:22 a.m. on Sept. 12.

Perhaps it was more than just a creative choice -- the baby's first and middle names are characters Mendes has played on screen.

She played a character named Esmeralda on the TV series "V.I.P." And in the 2007 film "We Own The Night" with Mark Wahlberg, she played a character named Amada. It also means "beloved" in Spanish.

Gosling, 33, and Mendes, 40, have been dating since 2011 after meeting on the set of the film "The Place Beyond the Pines." This is the first child for both actors.
