The Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows director and his model girlfriend, Jacqui Ainsley, welcomed their first child together last September, but have only now revealed his name.
"We thought Raffie Ritchie sounded really cute when shortened. His older brother, Rocco, helped choose the name - we were throwing ideas out there as a family and it stuck from early on," Jacqui explained.
Guy, 43, has Rocco, 11, and adopted son David, six, from his marriage to singer Madonna, who he divorced in 2008. Raphael is Jacqui's first child.
"He has two great brothers which is really lovely. I'm the happiest girl in the world and loving motherhood," Jacqui, 30, added.
Meanwhile, Guy is rumored to have signed up to direct a new version of pirate adventure Treasure Island.

Alanis Morissette is Prepared to Breastfeed For Six Years
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Alanis Morissette is prepared to breastfeed her son until he is six.
The "You Outta Know" singer believes attachment parenting is important for 17-month-old Ever Imre's wellbeing and will continue to feed him from her breast until he decides to stop.
"I'll stop whenever he wants. I know some children who have weaned naturally at two years, some kids wean naturally a couple of years later; I mean, it's up to every child," she said on Good Morning America. In the western world, most children start to be weaned away from breast milk around six months after their birth, but those who follow attachment parenting believe letting their baby choose is best for their long-term emotional welfare.
Alanis - who is married to Mario "Souleye" Treadway - added she doesn't judge other people for not sharing her views on parenting: "I consider it appropriate, it is appropriate for that particular child and that particular family."

Chris Hemsworth's wife has ordered him to improve his Spanish.
The Snow White and the Huntsman actor's Madrid-born spouse Elsa Pataky has vowed to only speak to their baby daughter India - who was born earlier this month - in her native language, so thinks her husband should work harder at his linguistic skills so he doesn't get left behind.
"I'm only going to speak to the baby in Spanish, I already told my husband, 'Get ready fast with Spanish because if not, you're not going to be able to understand what we say!" she said.
Despite the language problem, Elsa previously revealed she was very confident her husband would be a good father: "He's the person I feel closest to and we understand each other very well. And then I see him as a great dad - it's important to know if the person you're with will be good at parenthood. Chris is very good with kids. His older brother has two little girls and a third on the way. We always spend our holidays together and it's lovely to watch him with his nieces. I was mesmerized by it. He's going to make a great dad."

Maggie Gyllenhaal Has ‘No Idea’ How to Cope with Two Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
The Hysteria actress - who recently gave birth to her second child with actor husband Peter Sarsgaard - intested to see how she copes with bringing up two youngsters at the same time.
"I'm curious to see how much I remember about nursing and changing diapers. About all of it. I have no idea how to do it with two. Having children is the most humbling thing you can do," the 34-year-old mother told USA Today.
The parent to Ramona, five, and Gloria Ray who was born last month, admitted that she and her partner are worried about juggling their schedules.
In her new motion picture she plays Charlotte Dalrymple, a women's rights activist in Victorian London. The Tanya Wexler-directed film revolves around how the vibrator was created. "'Peter was joking with me the other day. He said, 'How are either of us ever going to work, ever?' We've figured out pretty well how to do it with one. At first we would take [Ramona] with us. Now she's in kindergarten and it's important that she's settled. I wouldn't take her out for any old thing," she confessed.
