BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 10: Shay Mitchell of '

Shay Mitchell announced on Oct. 20 that she finally gave birth to her and boyfriend Matte Babel's baby girl [1], and we're in love with the name they chose for their daughter: Atlas Noa.

The name was first revealed in a Vogue interview, with Shay sharing that the name is inspired by her love of traveling [2] to new places. "A close friend of ours was listing off names for her daughter that she had had a year and a half ago," Shay said. "Then she said Atlas and I looked at Matte, and he looked at me, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh.' It's just the perfect name; from that day, we knew it was going to be Atlas. People would ask us, 'Do you have a name?' But we were keeping it hidden. I'm sorry to everybody that I lied to!"

In a post to her Instagram account, Shay revealed Atlas's middle name [3]. "Atlas Noa," she wrote. "In my 32 years of life I thought I had seen a lot of places, experienced a lot of things, met a lot of people, and felt love . . . then came you." So sweet!

The new mom of one [4] originally shared her pregnancy news back in June [5], just five months after revealing she'd suffered a miscarriage [6]. The couple then shared in July that they were expecting a baby girl, using an elaborate Power Rangers-themed gender reveal [7].

We're so thrilled for Matte and Shay that Atlas is finally here, and can't wait to see more of her soon!
