Russell Brand and his fiancee give their new daughter the cutest 'old woman' name ever

Russell Brand recently became a dad for the first time when his fianceé Laura Gallacher gave birth to a baby girl.

The comedian broke the news at a stand-up gig in Nottingham last weekend, when he mentioned having to get home early to his new family - but until now, the baby's sex or name had not been revealed. In fact, Brand had previously discussed raising their child gender-neutral.

However, the Daily Mail are reporting that she has been given the specifically feminine and very cute 'old lady' name of Mabel, which you can easily imagine rolling off the tongue of the Londoner.

Brand hasn't commented on the birth on his social media, although Laura's sister, broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher, has thanked fans for congratulating her on becoming an auntie.
