McMahon, who plays Mondo in Fair City, told the Sunday World: "Rachel came up with the name Frankie.
"I don't know where she got it from, but the closest thing we can think of is we're telling people she named her after the Pope."
McMahon told the paper he arrived "just in time" to see his daughter's birth, describing her arrival as "a really incredible experience".
"I was over the moon and on the way home I put on Sister Sledge's Frankie on the car stereo and sang along."
Fair City airs on RTÉ One on Sundays and Tuesday to Thursday.
