6 Famous Couples Revealed The Reasons They Changed Their Children's Names
They thought that their current names did not suit them, so they decided to change them.
Celebrity baby names do not always stay the same for long, and sometimes the reason is more surprising than the original choice. A name that sounds perfect at first can suddenly feel wrong once the baby arrives, or once the public starts reacting.
That is exactly what happened with several famous couples, who decided to change their children’s names after birth. From unexpected second thoughts to family decisions that played out in public, each story shows how personal and complicated naming a child can be.
Here are six celebrity couples who changed their babies’ names, and the reasons behind those choices.
1. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott welcomed their second child on February 2nd, 2022. They had a beautiful boy and named him Wolf.
However, the couple recently decided to change it, stating that they don't feel the name suits him.
Instagram2. Elon Musk and Grimes
Their child was given a truly unique name: X Æ A-12. However, they later discovered that California law allows a name to contain only 26 alphabetical English characters.
Since it was an illegal name, they had to change it. So, Elon changed the number 12 into Roman numerals: X Æ A-Xii.
InstagramKylie’s baby-name drama feels a lot like the AITA dad who refused to invite an ex to a baby shower after rumors.
3. Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer
Their reason for adjusting the name of their baby boy was actually humorous. He was previously named Gene Attell, but the couple realized it could sound like “genital,” so they renamed him Gene David.

5. Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner
Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner became parents in 2020. The boy's name was already chosen before he was born, and it was supposed to be Haies Douglas.
But when they met him, they decided to change it. His name is now Hendrix.
“The minute we had our son...I almost called him Hendrix. That was like a top name for him,” the couple revealed.
