It's a girl for Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan!

I read the news (where else?) on Twitter, when Ellen Degeneres tweeted, "Congrats @RobertDowneyJr & Susan! It's a girl! I thought up name options—Iron Girl, Pumpernickel, Ellen. I’m sure one of those will work."

Hmm, "Iron Girl" has a nice ring to it. But, we do actually know the baby's name now. Robert just posted it (hilariously) on his Facebook page:

After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project. Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, 'Dad! You are embarrassing me...I'm 30, this has gotta stop.' Yep...Avri Roel Downey joined the party @ 3:22 a.m. on November 4th...she's 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwritten my 'junk DNA,'" he wrote. "I'll post pics here + there when I'm not too busy staring...

Baby Avri Roel joins big brother Exton Elias Downey, 2.5, and Robert's son with ex-wife Deborah Falconer, Indio Downey, 21.
