She’s music to her parents’ ears.

Megan Hilty and husband Brian Gallagher welcomed a daughter, Viola Philomena, on Thursday, Sept. 18 in New York City, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

It’s the first child for the former Smash star, 33, and her musician beau, whom she married last November in Las Vegas.

The couple announced the pregnancy in March, telling PEOPLE over the summer that they were down to three name choices.

“My mother knits Christmas stockings every year for the new member of the family,” Gallagher said at the time. “She put in one request: She said, ‘Listen, I have arthritis, so the fewer letters, the better for me. If you can do five letters or less, I’d really appreciate it.'”

“We don’t know what she’s going to look like!” adds Hilty, a Broadway vet. “We’re trying to keep it short.”

Looks like they did!
