ELLEN DeGeneres is not only a comedian, talk show host and interior designer — she’s an expert at naming babies.

Adam Levine revealed that pal DeGeneres is the one who named his infant daughter, Dusty Rose, with wife Behati Prinsloo.

“We had a name that we won’t mention on television,” Levine, 37, said on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“The name game is a tough game. It’s very hard, arduous. Imagine you’re writing the best song you’ve ever written in your life and you have to name it. It’s really screwed up to actually have to put yourself through that.”

After coming up with a name, Levine texted DeGeneres. “She was like, ‘I hate it. I think it’s a terrible name.’ I was like, ‘Cool.’ She gave me like five names to think about: this, this, this, this, Dusty. You basically named my kid,” the rocker recalled.

Levine pitched the name to Prinsloo, who wasn’t initially thrilled. “I brought it back to her in the 11th hour,” he added. “I’m like ‘Dusty’s pretty cool!’ She’s like, ‘I love it!’”

The little girl was born in September.

DeGeneres said of the baby’s middle name, Rose, that it’s a “beautiful colour … I’d already thought Dusty, and then somebody said ‘Dusty Rose,’ and I said, ‘Oh, that’s her name.’ And so I texted you ‘Dusty Rose.’”
