Introducing...Billie!

A source reveals to UsMagazine.com that Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane have named their baby girl Billie.

The couple's first daughter was born March 3 in Los Angeles, her rep confirmed to the Associated Press last week.

See a video of Rebecca showing off her baby bump!

"Mother, father and daughter are doing great," the rep had said.

Gayheart, 38, and the Grey's Anatomy star, 37 -- who wed in Las Vegas in 2004 -- never formally announced the pregnancy, but Gayheart stepped out last September with a baby bump.

During an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dane said that they had decided on a name for their daughter, but "Rebecca wants to wait until she sees her before we give her the name."

The actor promised it wouldn't be a quirky celeb baby name. "We went straight down the middle with this one."

    I like it. I have two girls and their names are Hunter and Landree, so I like names that are different, but no completely off the wall.

    Eric Dane is a loser. :)

    Not my choice of name, but I thinks a little cute. Didn't Lisa Rinna play a girl name Billie in a soap opera?

    You people are so mean, who really cares what someone names their child.It is their right. Everyone on here making rude remakes should be ashamed of yourself.

    Good thing it wasn't a boy - it probably would have been named Sue!

    Billie Dane is not my lover...she's just a girl... I like the name Billie, just not paired with Dane...

    I agree with Billie 11:34am completely! Great comment and very true!

  • March 11, 2010 - 11:58am Annie

    My grandmother's name was Johnny. I loved it.

  • March 11, 2010 - 11:34am Billie

    I think it's a great name, although I am biased! For the record, I am not a stripper or a redneck or a hillbilly. I am a successful tax accountant holding multiple college degrees and certifications. And to assume that a person will choose a certain life path due to their name is ridiculous and ignorant! Also, I was no more picked on growing up than any other child. Many famous women are named Billie by the way...Billie Holiday (singer), Billie Piper (actress), Billie Jean King (athlete), Billie Burke (actress). Michael Jackson even wrote a song about a Billie!! While it is not a common name now, it used to be quite popular and I would love to see it make a come back!

  • March 11, 2010 - 11:04am Mrs.Pfc.Boyd

    Nothing is wrong with the baby's name! Many women are named Billie! Just like many men are named Kim, Kelly, Leslie I could go on and on!

  • March 11, 2010 - 10:48am Chris

    That's great. Can anyone give their kid in Hollywierd a normal name? Like their parnets did for them, Lets see... Rebecca and Eric.. Normal.. Billie? Oh how cute! It's billie the red neck future stripper. Good God that poor kid

  • March 11, 2010 - 10:31am L.B.

    I saw an interview with him in which he was being very evasive about the name,and I was like, WTH, man? BILLIE? Wow.At least its not one of the stupid names that the other celebrities have been naming their kids, but really, why the secretive evasiveness over BILLIE? Good Lord. Oh, well.
