Wow! 'Tis the season for big celebrity baby news!

Actress Drew Barrymore, 37, has welcomed her first child — a girl! — with hubby Will Kopelman. Baby arrived last Wednesday, September 26.

And the name is....

Olive Barrymore Kopelman!

“We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born Sept. 26th, healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family," Drew and Will told People Magazine. "Thank you for respecting our privacy during this most special time in our lives.”

What do you think of the name? It's definitely getting popular in Hollywood. Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher also have a daughter named Olive.

Congrats to the family!

LOVE!

    It sounds as if 1920ish-sounding names (Olive, Ava, Grace etc...) are having a bit of a revival. They're nice alternatives to the flowery polysyllabic Victorian names that have dominated birth announcement pages for the last 20 years.

    Interesting that Drew voiced the main character in the cartoon "Olive the Other Reindeer"! OK, maybe not that interesting... Happy for Drew!
