The Preserve founder did tell PEOPLE in January, “This is thehappiest time in my life, and I could say that every day. I often feel like, ‘Ican’t believe I’m experiencing this.’”

And now her husband is opening up just the slightest bit.While promoting his new movie The Voices, Ryan confirmed that his daughter’sname is… not Violet — the name that other outlets reported was given to babyReynolds.

"No, that's not the name," the 38-year-old actor told USA Today. "I don't want to get into that, but Idon't know where that came from."

As for clue no. 2 to his daughter’s name? Back inOctober, he joked to Canada’s eTalk about what they will not be naming theirchild. He explained, “I don’t want a name that’s anything pretentious or, like,Hollywood-y.”

Though he and his wife are enjoying their privacy with their 6-week-old daughter, he did gush about fatherhood. "It's still so new that it's hardto conceive being away for more than seven hours at a time," he said of spendingtime away from his little girl. "I had to go to Sundance this last week. I was more excited to get a good night'ssleep. It was borderline pornographic for me."

Similar to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, this duo are going at the whole parenting thingwithout any outside care. “I don’t sleep verymuch,” he continued. “It’s great. It’s wonderful. But my brain is elsewhere.”

Despite the lack of sleep, Ryanalready mentioned to E! News that his little girl has him wrapped around herlittle finger. He told Jesse Giddings, “That started well before she was born!”
