AMANDA Peet couldn’t stop “fighting” with her husband over the name of their baby.

The 2012 actress — who celebrated the arrival of her second daughter, Molly June, with her screenwriter husband David Benioff last month — admitted they were so confused about what to call the newborn that it was only when they had to sign official documents that a decision was made.

“We were fighting about it a lot and you can’t leave the hospital until you sign the paper with the name so we got right up to the point where the nurse was trying to usher us to leave,” she said.

“We still couldn’t choose between Maya June and Molly June. So finally David tore off two little pieces of paper, wrote the names on each paper, and put them behind his back.”

It was only when Amanda picked Maya June, that she realized it just wasn’t suitable.

“I chose one of them and it was Maya and then I got really upset, so…” she said.

The 38-year-old star admitted her first child, Frances Pen, three, is welcoming the new addition with open arms.

“She’s a little more moody than usual, but it’s not really directed at the baby,” Amanda said.

“It’s more like, ‘Frankie, eat your broccoli,’ and she starts screaming. She wants to have a baby in her belly and she wants to breastfeed.”
