The actor and author Ethan Hawke and his new wife, Ryan Shawhughes, welcomed their first child together on July 18th in New York City. Their daughter’s name is Clementine Jane Hawke, and she joins older siblings Maya Ray (10) and Levon Roan (6), Ethan’s children with ex-wife Uma Thurman.

The couple announced Ryan was pregnant in January 2008, adding that they were “thrilled” with the new arrival. Hawke enjoys fatherhood and has recently called his daughter Maya and his son Levon the “greatest pleasure” in his life.

Hawke was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in the 2001 movie “Training Day” alongside Denzel Washington. He also starred in the 2006 movie “Fast Food Nation”, “Before Sunset” (2004), “Great Expectations” (1998), and “Dead Poets Society” (1989).

The couple's chosen name, Clementine, is of French origin, and its meaning is clemency or mercy. The name is evocative of the well-known song called “My Darling Clementine”. A famous bearer of the name was Winston Churchill’s wife. More recently, Clementine was also the baby name choice of celebrities like supermodel Claudia Schiffer and Hollywood actress Cybill Shepherd.
