Perfect choice. Kylie Jenner have been honest about the challenges that come with naming children – including making the wrong choices.
The reality star became a mother for the first time when she welcomed daughter Stormi with her boyfriend and girlfriend Travis Scott in February 2018. At that time, Jenner reflected on her decision to keep the pregnancy under wraps.
“My pregnancy was one of those things I didn’t do in front of the world,” she captioned a YouTube video that same month. “I know for myself that I need to prepare for this role in my life in the most positive, stress-free, and healthy way I know how. Pregnancy was the best, most empowering and life-changing experience I’ve had in my entire life and I’m going to miss it.
Three months later, the founder of Kylie Skin gave an overview of her approach to choosing a baby name. “I really don’t know how we thought of Storm,” she said Standard Evening in May 2018. “Dad insists it’s her, but I think it’s me. And it kind of just stuck with us. And then I didn’t like just Storm – I didn’t feel like it was her name. So then it became Stormi. And it just stuck.”
She added, “I think there’s a lot of other names that I would probably prefer to be honest, but I think Stormi chose her own name. Like, it’s just her name.”
The couple, who started dating in 2017, welcomed their second child in February 2022. A month after the baby boy arrived, Jenner confirmed that she had changed the baby’s name after calling him Wolf. “We really don’t feel like him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere,” he wrote via Instagram Story at the time.
California native explains the confusion during season 2 of The Kardashians.
“We really don’t have a name. We thought it would come to us when we saw him and it didn’t. Then 24 hours before we had to sign the birth certificate – or if they registered him without a name – then I felt the pressure to choose a name. Khloé Kardashian suggested Wolf and I liked WW,” he shared on the Hulu reality series. “So we put Wolf Webster on at the moment and after I signed the birth certificate I was like, ‘Did I just do it?'”
For Jenner, the experience of welcoming another child into her family brought unexpected complications. “After the pregnancy, I found it very difficult to get back to myself. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get back as soon as possible and I have to be better for myself,” she said to the camera. “I feel the same way about the second one [child], you just anticipate everything and you know what’s going to happen because you’ve done it before. I think it’s a lot more this time.”
Kylie announced in January 2023 that she was changing her nickname to Aire Webster.
