Hey, you can't blame a proud grandma for finally bursting at the seams.

While Lily Allen and hubby Sam Cooper welcomed a healthy baby girl way back in November, she had—at least, up until now—managed to impressively keep her daughter out of the spotlight, so much so that not even her name had yet been revealed.

But that's where loose-lipped grandmas come in, and this week, Allen's screenwriting mom Alison Owen reportedly let slip her one-and-a-bit-month-old granddaughter's name while privately chatting to a friend on Facebook.

And from the sounds of it, Lily is a sucker for old-fashioned traditions. So, what's the baby's name?

It's Ethel Mary Cooper!

While neither Lily nor her hubby have confirmed the name, British papers are overflowing with the news.

In fact, since the Nov. 25 birth, Lily herself has only ever referenced her baby once or twice, tweeting, "totes amaze," shortly after the birth and then in a later acknowledgment to fans:

"Thank you for all the flowers and lovely messages everybody. Very touching indeed. Nuff luv x x."
