Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reportedly approached the VIP at a dinner event shortly after they arrived in his district, Erongo, several weeks ago.
He is quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "When she goes to the hospital, as the father of the region, I will be informed and I will go there.
"I will announce the good news and I will be naming the baby."
He added the stars - who have two adopted children, four-year-old Maddox and baby Zahara - are "good people, peace-minded and ready to help".
Meanwhile, Brad has revealed Angelina is due to give birth any day now.
The dad-to-be issued a statement yesterday to explain why he wasn't attending the Cannes Film Festival, where his movie 'Babel' is being shown.
It said: "With the imminent arrival of the newest addition to our family, I'm unable to join Alejandro (Gonzalez Innaritu), Cate (Blanchett) and Gael Garcia Bernal and the rest of the cast and crew in introducing the film."
