RDJ's FB post letting us know his unusual pick for a baby name.

Taking to his Facebook page, Robert wrote: 'Avri Roel Downey joined the party @ 3.22 a.m. on Movember 4th...she's 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwrritten mu "junk DNA."

The 'Ro' apparently stands not only for Downey's father, Robert Downey Sr. and his wife Rosemary but also for Susan's mum, Rosie. His mother Elsie and his wife's father, Eliot are represented with the last syllable 'el'.
