Brown, 31, gave birth to Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3 in Santa Monica, Calif. She listed Murphy's name on the birth certificate.
She said the name was inspired by a number of things.
"Angel, as she was my little angel through my pregnancy. Iris, as it's my grandma's name, Murphy because he's the dad, and Brown, because I'm the Mum!" the statement said.
Murphy, 46, has said he's not sure he's the father.

- Eddie Murphy's denial of paternity to that innocent baby is absolutely disgusting and indicative of his lack of class. Tracy Edmonds better keep his reaction to Melanie's pregnancy and baby in mind. If he will treat Melanie like a two cent prostitute, he surely will treat her like one as well. Eddie Murphy disgusts me, right now.
