“Nahla is one of those names that is occasionally found among people of African or Arabic descent, but isn’t commonly used in any particular culture,” she adds.

Berry told Oprah Winfrey on her show last year that playing a mother in her latest movie, “Things We Lost in the Fire,” helped convince her that motherhood was for her.

Berry first announced her pregnancy in September 2007, when she was three months along.
