From Dwayne Johnson to Emily Blunt: All the Stars Who Named Their Kids After Disney Characters

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ older daughter Esmeralda Amada, 3½, shares a name with the beautiful dancing Gypsy in 1996’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In the film, the justice-seeking, independent Esmeralda teaches Quasimodo that true beauty lies within as opposed to on the outside.

“Ryan and I both love the Esmeralda character from the Victor Hugo novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and we just think it’s a beautiful name,” Mendes told Vanity Fair in 2014.

Gosling and Mendes are also parents to daughter Amada Lee, 2 on April 29.
