THE Maroon 5 singer and his model wife have revealed the name of their baby girl.

CONGRATULATIONS to Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo.

The couple welcomed a baby girl named Dusty Rose, People reports.

Prinsloo gave birth in California.

Levine’s band, Maroon 5, cancelled a concert on September 18, explaining on their website, “Maroon 5’s show in Hartford was happening in conjunction with the group’s Fall 2016 U.S. tour and is being cancelled due to the upcoming birth of frontman Adam Levine’s baby”.

Little Dusty is the first child for Levine, 37, and the 27-year-old Namibian supermodel, who bared her bump in a bikini as recently as last month.

The Voice coach couldn’t be more excited about parenthood.

“It’s awesome. I’m going to be a dad. Sh*t, I’m excited,” Levine gushed in May.

“I’m going to be a fu**ing dad!”

As far as celebrity baby names go, Dusty Rose is pretty normal. Here are some of the more bizarre names stars have chosen for their kids in the past:

ROYAL REIGN

Perhaps Christina Aguilera sought baby name inspiration from her two-time collaborator, Lil’ Kim? The scandal-prone rapper only announced the birth of her daughter, Royal Reign, back in 2014. With a name like that, one would have to assume Kim is priming her daughter to join the family business.

BRONX MOWGLI WENTZ

Ashlee Simpson and (now-ex) husband Pete Wentz named their son Bronx after the New York borough, and Mowgli after the little boy in The Jungle Book. Take it all in for a moment: Bronx. Mowgli. Wentz.

HAPPY HINDS

Macy Gray divorced her husband, Tracy Hinds, while she was pregnant with their third child. She named the baby — a son — Happy Hinds. Happy’s a teenager now, and we’re sure he’s especially sick of Pharrell’s hit of the same name.

KAL-EL CAGE

Nicolas Cage was once discussed as a frontrunner to play Superman in a big-screen adaptation of the comic book. While that didn’t happen, Cage did choose the superhero’s Kryptonian birth name for his son. Cue a lifetime of the poor kid having to say ‘Kryptonian’ when asked about the ethnic origins of his name.

ZUMA NESTA ROCK

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s son is named after one of their favourite places, Zuma Beach in Malibu. The ‘Nesta’ and ‘Rock’ portions of the name? Your guess is as good as ours, but all together it sounds like a particularly delightful summer salad.

PILOT INSPEKTOR

They say you should name your child for the sort of life you want them to have, so we can only assume My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee harbours a wish that his son will grow up to be a Russian aviation safety expert.

DIVA THIN MUFFIN

The kooky names rocker Frank Zappa gave his kids are the stuff of legend: Moon Unit. Dweezil Zappa. But for some reason, no-one remembers his youngest daughter, Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Which is a shame, because Diva Thin Muffin sounds like a weight loss product a Real Housewives cast member would sell on the Home Shopping Network. Only 9 calories per slice!

DENIM AND DIEZEL

Toni Braxton’s children are named Diezel and Denim. And yet somehow, Toni Braxton is not the celebrity face of Diesel jeans. Seriously, do we have to think of everything?
