Rebecca Romijn's nine-month-old twins love wrestling.

The 'Ugly Betty' actress is surprised at the way daughters Dolly and Charlie - her children with husband Jerry O'Connell - wriggle and fight as she expected them to be less boisterous.

She explained: "I had this fantasy that when I would have two little girls they'd be wearing matching outfits with little bows in their hair. But these girls wrestle, and whatever I put in their hair they pull out and it goes directly in their mouth.

"Whatever babies shouldn't do, they do. If I have a sweatshirt on with the cord in the hood, they pull it out and try to wrap it around their necks. I'm like, 'Nooooo! Don't do that!' "

Rebecca named Dolly after Dolly Parton, and she has revealed the singer was thrilled with the honor.

The 36-year-old actress told Dolly of her plan when she was six months pregnant and at one of the country legend's concerts.

Rebecca revealed to TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "I was a little bit embarrassed to say it. Dolly said, 'Oh, I would be so honored. Dolly was the name I was given, it's not short for anything, and I don't have any children of my own. Please do it!' Then at the show, she dedicated the song 'Little Sparrow' to 'her new friend Rebecca and her little girls.' And I was like a puddle. A puddle!"
