Hugh Grant named his daughters for the first time

Hugh Grant is no stranger to an unusual name, and for his family it has become something of a tradition.

The Notting Hill actor revealed his middle name Mungo – yes, really – on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” October 29. Grant’s full name is Hugh John Mango Grant, he told Kimmel.

Although he passed on the unusual middle name to his son, John Mungo, born in 2012 and with whom he shares wife Anna Ebersteinhe chose what he says is “worse” when it comes to the names of the couple’s youngest daughters.

Grant has three children with Eberstein, whom he married in May 2018, and two children born in 2011 and 2012 with his ex Tinglan Hong.

For the first time, Grant shared the names of his two youngest daughters, born in 2015 and 2018.

He prefaced the post by saying, “I was in a bit of a panic with my wife the day we named her.”

“We thought it would be nice for her when she gets older if she could say in bars that her middle name is Danger. So, her name is Lulu Danger Grant,” he said, before clarifying that it’s a reference to Austin Powers’ memorable line: “Danger is my middle name.”

Later, while discussing Halloween with this family, he revealed the name of his other daughter with Eberstein: Blue Grant.

For Blue’s sake, although Grant “panicked” again, he turned to his son for help.

“He said ‘Kevin’ because it was his favorite minion,” Grant recalls. “We were thinking of calling her Kevin. But then we said, ‘You better think of something else,’ and he said, ‘Blue,’ because that’s his favorite color.”

Grant did not reveal Lulu and Blue’s names until the October 29 interview and keeps his family private.

In a rare glimpse into his personal life, he wrote about visiting one of the Taylor Swift “Eras Tour” concert in London. After the June 22 concert, he tweeted Swift, writing, “Dear @taylorswift13, you have an incredible show, an amazing and welcoming crew, and a great albeit giant guy (#tequilashots.). A huge thank you from an aging London boy, his wife and an enthusiastic 8 year old.”

Swift responded, in part, by writing, “Since Hugh Grant Stan has been a long-time supporter of this tweet, it’s very important to my culture.”

In an interview with Kimmel, Grant said his daughter “doesn’t understand Twitter very well.”

“She really wants to meet Taylor,” he added.

“Are you working on this?” Kimmel asked.

“Every day,” Grant replied.
