Congrats are in order for Amber Tamblyn and her husband, David Cross. On Tuesday, Tamblyn announced on Instagram that she gave birth to a baby girl. The name? Consider it the ultimate celebrity baby name satire.

"David and I are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Dauphinoise Petunia Brittany Scheherazade Von Funkinstein Mustard Witch RBG Cross Tamblyn-Bey Jr," she wrote in her Instagram post. "#TheFutureIsFemale."

While obviously anyone named Mustard Witch is sure to grow up to be a badass - and anyone who is named after both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Beyoncé is sure to have quite a life - it's probably a fair guess that this isn't Baby Girl Tamblyn-Cross's actual name. Fingers crossed they give us the real one soon.

That hashtag is nothing to sneer at, either. Throughout her pregnancy, Tamblyn has been a fierce advocate for women's rights, announcing her pregnancy in a super powerful pro-Hillary Clinton essay for Glamour.

"I'm pregnant, with a daughter on the way. I think constantly about the world I am bringing her into. Will I get a phone call from my daughter someday, one she never wanted to make?" She wrote in the essay. Weeks before that, the actress shared her own painful account of sexual assault after an egregious tape revealed President Trump's comments about grabbing women by their genitals.

Here's hoping that little Dauphinoise Petunia Brittany Scheherazade Von Funkinstein Mustard Witch RBG Cross Tamblyn-Bey Jr. (well, whatever her name actually is) will be a strong, proud woman too. Kind of like Chelsea Clinton's daughter. After all, with parents who give you a baller Instagram name like that, can you really go wrong?
