Bond girl Halle Berry names daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry

Halle Berry's newborn daughter is named Nahla Ariela Aubry, her publicist has announced.

Berry, 41, gave birth to Nahla on Sunday.

The baby's father is male model Gabriel Aubry, 32, who met Berry in Los Angeles two years ago while they were shooting an ad for Versace - reports The Telegraph

Berry said that it was her experience playing a mother in her latest film, "Things We Lost In The Fire", that opened her mind to the possibility of motherhood herself.

Speaking on the Oprah Winfrey show last year, Berry said "I think it validated that I was meant to be a mother because every day I dealt with the character as a mother and thinking as a mother. "It let me know that I must be a mother," she went on.

The James Bond girl - who played Jinx opposite Pierce Brosnan's 007 in "Die Another Day" - won the best-actress Oscar for 2001's "Monster's Ball."

She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 1999's "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge."

She says that while she and the father of her child have no plans to marry, they are fully committed to the relationship.
