Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka welcomed a daughter late last week. His publicist reports that the baby was born at a Los Angeles hospital on February 10.

The actor and his wife, the daughter of 50’s heartthrob Paul Anka, gave their second child an interesting name … Maple Sylvie.

Dare we suggest that the new addition to the family will not be troubled by a classroom full of kids sharing the same name a few years from now?

The couple, both 43, got married in 2001. He credits her with helping him to overcome a serious drinking problem.

Their other daughter, Francesca Nora, is 5-years-old.

Bateman’s latest film project is The Longest Week, a romantic comedy co-starring Olivia Wilde that is in post-production and slated for release later this year.
