“We were actually thinking of naming her Brielly from inception. We loved it! So typical coming from two actors,” the proud new parents tell PEOPLE.

“But we thought better, dreaming of the day when she’s 13 years old, coming at us with a, ‘Really guys? … Really?! You really hybrid-ed your names and named me Brielly?’ So Madelyn Skyler (MadSky) was born and is the magical miracle of our lives.”

But her nickname isn’t the only way Brielly is taking after her famous father. “First thing we noticed is Madelyn has Daddy’s eyebrows,” the couple share.
