Over the past 13 years, Hugh Grant, 64, has welcomed five children.

He welcomed Tabitha Xiao Xi Grant in 2011 with then-partner Tinglan Hong, and a year later, his now-wife, Anna Eberstein, gave birth to their first child together: John Mungo.

In a complicated turn of events, Tinglan gave birth to Hugh’s third child, Felix, just three months after John Mungo was born.

However, Hugh then reunited with Anna, and they eventually welcomed two more daughters in 2015 and 2018.

Until now, neither Hugh nor Anna have publicly revealed their youngest daughters’ names. However, during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Heretic actor finally shared the monikers, explaining that he and his wife came up with them in “a bit of a panic.”

The conversation began when host Jimmy asked Hugh about one of his own middle names. “I must ask you about your middle name because this is a little detail. I don’t know how it slipped past me the last time. But Mungo is one of your middle names, yes?” he asked.

Confirming that one of his middle names is, in fact, Mungo, Hugh clarified, “It’s actually Hugh John Mungo. I don’t know how it happened. I had very unkind parents.”

When asked if he gave his kids the same middle name, Hugh revealed that he gave his 8-year-old daughter a “worse” moniker.

“I have a daughter who I named… I was in a bit of a panic with my wife on the day we named her,” he began.

"We thought it might be nice for her when she was older if she could say in bars that her middle name was Danger," he shared. "So her name is Lulu Danger Grant."

Hugh later revealed that his 6-year-old daughter is named Blue.

“Again, I panicked about names with my wife, so we asked [Lulu's] elder brother when she was on the way,” he recalled.

“We said, ‘There's a new baby coming along. What should we call her?’ And he said, ‘Kevin,’ because that was his favorite Minion,” he shared, referring to the film Despicable Me. 

“And we did think about calling her Kevin, but then we said, ‘You better think of something else.’ So he said Blue because it was his favorite color,” he added.
