Cougar Town actress Busy Philipps gave birth to a baby girl last week, welcoming her second child with husband Marc Silverstein.
The baby girl’s name wasn’t revealed until now, and E! News now confirms the baby’s name is Cricket. She will join big sister, Birdie Leigh, 4.
Philipps took to Twitter to thank all of the well wishers, writing “Thank you all for the warm wishes for our new little ladybug! It's been so sweet to read them all!!” She then took the opportunity to defend her kids’ names in light of some backlash about the name Cricket.
It's weird people think my kids will be in therapy because of their names. Guys, my kids will be therapy for LOTS of reasons, I'm sure.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West also just made headlines for naming their baby girl an unusual name – North West, which they say is a metaphor for being their “North star."
