Ashton and Mila welcomed Wyatt Isabelle on October 1

"We gave her the middle nameIsabelle after Mila's grandfather," he added, "so it has a littleheritage." Mila’s grandfather's name was Yitzhak, which is Hebrew for Isaac. It is a Jewish custom to use the initial of a beloved deceased relative to name one's child.

During his Conan appearance, the36-year-old actor admitted that being a dad is “the greatest thing on earth.”

"As soon as this child was bornI immediately wanted to call my parents and just apologize because I never knewhow much they loved me. It's absolutely, insanely…" he trailed off.

While some parents celebrate theirchild’s birth by opening a savings account in their name or buying stocks, theengaged pair began protecting little Wyatt’s identity.

"We immediately went home and we reserved allthe domain names. We got the Twitter handle, the Instagram — everything that youcould possibly [have]," the Two and a Half Men star explained. "Idon't want a porn site with my daughter's name! It's unacceptable to me andit's not gonna happen!"

Their daughter is also getting a taste of the finerthings in life at a young age. Forget sippy cupsand airplane spoons, the new parents brought their three-week-old daughterWyatt with them to a fancy ten-course dinner on Monday night.

"They came in and did the chef'stasting," a fellow dinner at The Gadarene Swine in Studio City told People. "It was a ten-course tastingmeal. They came in and gave the chef a hug. They seemed to enjoythemselves."

According to the onlooker, Mila, 31,and Ashton, 36, who welcomed their daughter on October 1, appeared completelyat ease in their new roles. "They were happy," the source added."They were laughing the whole time."
