Indeed, the little girl is also named Taylor!

However, it's not her first name. Taylor is only the child's middle name – her full name is Lennon Taylor Lautner.

The child was born on September 16. In the post, the couple wrote: "One week loving our sweet little Lenny."

The 29‑year‑old mom-to-be had already hinted some time ago that the name Taylor was definitely on the table.

Back then she joked, "I feel like if I don't name my baby Taylor, the internet's literally gonna cancel me."

The name choice is now generating excitement online. Many fans congratulated the couple on the birth and expressed enthusiasm that Taylor, at least as a middle name, has become part of the family tradition.

Taylor and Tay met in 2017 after the 34‑year‑old's sister introduced them – about a year later they became a couple.

In 2021, the actor proposed to his partner, and the following year they said "I do" at a wedding in California.

With the ceremony, the 29‑year‑old Taylor Dome also became Taylor Lautner.
