Drew Barrymore chose her daughter's name when she was the "size of an olive."
The 37-year-old actress and her husband Will Kopelman welcomed their daughter Olive into the world 10 weeks ago and the Big Miracle actress has revealed she was inspired to pick the moniker when she was in the early stage of her pregnancy.
"I never would have guessed that would have been the name. But I was reading a book with my husband. I was three months pregnant and they said your baby is the size of an olive, and that was it. We never looked back," she said, speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Ellen then joked, "It could have been the size of a peanut or a grapefruit.'" Drew replied, "It could have been. It was a lot fruit and vegetables."

Drew Barrymore has given birth to a baby girl. The 37-year-old actress and her husband Will Kopelman welcomed their first child, Olive, last Wednesday and have asked for privacy during this "special time."
The happy couple issued a statement reading, "We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born Sept. 26th, healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this most special time in our lives."
The Going the Distance star - who began dating art consultant Will in 2010 - tied the knot in June in an intimate Jewish ceremony on her estate in Montecito, California. The couple were keen to get married before the baby was due in the autumn and enjoyed a relaxing honeymoon in Big Sur after the big event, which Drew described as a "perfect" day.
The actress - who has been married twice before - has often expressed her desire to start a family with Will: "I can't wait until I have my children. I just want to build fun, great things for my family."
