Keira Knightley finally reveals her daughter's name

Amy Nelmes Bissett

Posh hottie Keira Knightley is back after stepping out of the limelight to give birth to her first child earlier this year.  

Rocking a leather jacket, no-pant combo on the September issue of Elle, the 30-year-old talks about motherhood, her bod and finally reveals her daughter's name.

Drum roll please. The three-month-old has been named Edie.

"The love thing is astonishing. It's a very primal, primal love. That's quite extraordinary," Keira tells the US magazine. "And the ability to have no sleep and continue going. It's not pleasant—I never thought that I could actually do it for the amount of time that I've done it." 

The actress married her muso husband James Righton in 2013, falling pregnant with their first baby last year.

But Keira says that aside from the primal love, becoming a mum has made her appreciate her body.

"You go through those periods where you look in the mirror and you think, 'Oh, if only I had different legs or arms or whatever,'" she said. 

"You go through pregnancy and labour and then feeding the kid and you go, 'Wow, my body is totally amazing, and I'm never going to not like it again, because it did this, and this is f****** extraordinary.'"
