Jessica Alba's brother says she gave birth to daughter Honor Marie naturally.

Josh Alba revealed his new niece - who was born on Saturday (07.06.08) - is "gorgeous" and the family couldn't be happier with her arrival.

He told 'E! News': "She is gorgeous. She looks just like my sister. Jessica did everything natural... It went really well.

"We are all just ecstatic. She definitely looks like an Alba to me."

Jessica's father Mark - who flew to California from Florida so he wouldn't miss the birth - also gushed about his new granddaughter and says Honor is the spitting image of her famous mother.

He said: "She's got Jessica's complexion, her hair, her eyes. She looks like Jessica when she was a baby. I thought Jessica was the prettiest baby I had ever seen, but I was wrong.

"The fact that this little girl came out of my daughter's stomach, it blows my mind."

Meanwhile, Jessica and husband Cash Warren's choice of name for their daughter has been praised by a baby naming expert.

Pamela Redmond Satran, co-author of baby-naming guides 'Cool Names' and 'The Baby Name Bible', said: "Honor is one of the Puritan Virtue names that has been making a comeback along with sisters Hope, Faith and Charity.

"My guess is that Jessica Alba, going through life as one of several trendily-named 'Jessicas' in any room, was looking for a name that was both classic and unusual, and she made an excellent choice."
