    Hugh Grant has finally let the world know the name of his two youngest daughters and explained the weird story behind them.

    Becoming a parent can be a stressful time, and not just for the ordinary person, it can be quite the mountain to climb when it comes to celebrities as well.

    While speaking on Jimmy Kimmel’s show on October 29, actor Hugh Grant gave a look into his life as a father.

    He admitted that when it came to his two youngest daughters, he was panicking a little bit.

    But most importantly, he revealed their names and explained why their names were less than conventional.

    But before that, he spoke about his own middle name being... Mungo. Yup, Hugh Mungo Grant.

    Kimmel also couldn’t let this slide and questioned the actor.

    He replied: “It’s actually Hugh John Mungo. I don’t know how it happened. I had very unkind parents.”

    Speaking about his own daughter’s middle name he revealed his 8-year-old daughter’s name.

    “Worse. I have a daughter who I named…I was in a bit of a panic with my wife on the day we named her and we thought it might be nice for her when she was older if she could say in bars that her middle name was Danger.

    "So her name is Lulu Danger Grant."

    This is brilliant thinking to be honest, because nothing is more epic than, with all seriousness, being able to say ‘danger is my middle name’.

    Further on in the interview, the actor got to talking about Halloween and said how both of his daughters were big fans.

    "My children love it. They love it. Actually, Lulu Danger Grant and her sister Blue Grant, named Blue because again I panicked about names with my wife so we asked [Lulu's] elder brother when she was on the way.

    "We said, 'There's a new baby coming along, what should we call her?' And he said, 'Kevin,' because that was his favorite Minion.”

    That is the minions from the Despicable Me franchise rather than an army of minions that frequent the Grant resident.

    He continued: “And we did think about calling her Kevin but then we said, 'You better think of something else.' So he said Blue, because it was his favorite color."

    In addition to Lulu and Blue, Grant is also a father to John Mungo, 12, daughter Tabitha Xiao Xi, 13 and son Felix Chang Hong, 11.
