'I asked President Obama if he liked one of our name choices and he said he did.

'I thought afterwards, I should have came up with two so he could pick one, because if you think about it, you've got to be nice about it if you give someone a name.'

And the Lip Sync Battle star admitted she had an ulterior motive for involving the president in her decision making.

She said: 'I wanted to ask him because John isn't sold on the name so I figured if [the President] liked it, then John would be sold on it. He says it's too Hollywood.'

The couple's baby is due next month and the All of Me singer will be taking several months off to be with his family.
