Did Ellen DeGeneres Actually Name Adam Levine's Daughter Dusty Rose?

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo welcomed their first child, Dusty Rose, in 2016. It's not a name you hear every day, and as it turns out, it was Ellen DeGeneres who came up with such a unique moniker. In an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the Maroon 5 frontman admitted to the host that she singlehandedly named his firstborn.

"The name game is a tough game," he said, noting that the process was akin to songwriting. When he finally found the perfect name, he decided to see what DeGeneres thought. "I texted Ellen and I was like, 'What do you think?' She was like, 'I hate it. I think it's a terrible name. I was like, 'Cool.','" he recalled (via E! News). "She gave me like five names to think about: This, this, this, this, Dusty. You basically named my kid." The singer also dished that Prinsloo was skeptical about it at first, but eventually learned to love it. "[It's] a beautiful color, as well," DeGeneres told Levine. "I had already thought of Dusty and then someone said 'Dusty Rose.' I said, 'Oh, that's her name,' and so I texted you, 'Dusty Rose.'"

In another guesting on the show, the dad of three couldn't help but gush over Dusty. "She's unbelievable," he said. "I'm so in love with her. It's crazy."
