Good name: Brigitte Nielsen, 54, welcomed her fifth child, a daughter, last week. And on Wednesday the Red Sonja actress told People that she has named her bundle of joy Frida
The baby joy is real: 'We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful daughter into our lives,' the leggy blonde Nineties icon said. 'It’s been a long road, and so worth it. We’ve never been more in love'
The father is Italian TV producer Mattia Dessì, 39, whom she wed in 2006.
It was only one month ago that the blonde beauty, who was once married to Sylvester Stallone, revealed she was with child.
The baby weighs 5 lbs. 9 oz.
'We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful daughter into our lives,' she told the site. 'It’s been a long road, and so worth it. We’ve never been more in love.'

This is the fifth child for the movie star who is best known for 1985's Rocky IV, 1986's Cobra and 1987's Beverly Hills Cop II. She already has sons Julian, 34, Killian, 28, Douglas, 25, and Raoul, 23.
Nielsen was previously married to Raoul Meyer from 1993 to 2003, Sebastian Copeland from 1990 until 1992, Stallone from 1985 until 1987 and Kasper Winding from 1983 until 1984.

Mattia is her fifth husband.
She has also dated Flavor Flav (2003 - 2005), Mark Gastineau (1988 - 1990), Tony Scott (1987), Kelly Sahnger (1987 - 1988) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (1984 - 1985). And she has been linked to Vanilla Ice, Mick Hucknall and Sean Penn.
The star shared the news to Instagram in late May.

The 6ft1in knockout shocked fans when she posted a photograph of herself dressed in a white dress as she placed her hands on her large baby bump.
The Eighties icon wrote in her caption, 'Family getting larger.'
Soon after the bombshell posted a second photo, this time with the caption, 'Happy time. Positive vibes.' She wore sunglasses and a scarf with a tight T-shirt dress.
Nielsen is not alone in her choice to have a child later in life. In 2013, 13 babies were born each week to moms aged 50 and older, according to parenting.com.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says births by women between the ages of 50 and 54 increased by more than 165 percent from 2000 to 2013.
Most women who get pregnant at age 50 do so with the help of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
And given the average age for menopause is 51, older moms typically use donor eggs of younger women in order to conceive.
