6 Famous Parents Who Changed Their Children’s Names And The Reason Behind These Changes

Deciding on the baby’s name is not an easy task: it can take a lot of time and cause a lot of headache. But do not think that this happens only before birth. Some couples change their minds after the first choice, so they need to change their names. And such a change happens for the most different reasons. It may be a matter of taste, as with Kylie Jenner, or there may be a legal issue regarding the choice, as with Elon Musk.

O awesome.club prepared a list of celebrities who went through situations of this type and decided to change the name they had chosen for their children.

In 2022, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott became parents for the second time and welcomed little Wolf. However, recently they decided to change their son’s name. The mother admitted that they just didn’t feel the name “was for him”. Kylie and Travis, however, have not yet announced the new one. It’s wait and see.

Elon Musk and Grimes gave their son one of the most unusual names of all time: X Æ A-12. However, some time later, they found out that it was illegal to give a name like that due to a California law, according to which you can only use the 26 alphabetic characters of the English language. However, it seems that the father found a way around this law: he decided to put the number 12 in Roman numerals and the baby ended up with the following name: X Æ A-Xii.

The story behind Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer’s son’s name change has its fun side. The couple decided to name the little one Gene Attell, but later realized that the name sounded like “genital” and decided to change it to Gene David.

Another couple who decided to change their baby’s name was Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra. They would name their daughter Tezlee, but in the end, they ended up opting for Vaeda Luma. About the change, Catelynn had this to say: “Every time someone said Tezlee, we got goosebumps! We realized that the name no longer had anything to do with us.”

The famous Jamie Otis and her husband Doug Hehner welcomed their son in 2020. Before the birth, the couple agreed to name him Hayes Douglas, but that all changed when they saw him for the first time. “As soon as I held my son in my arms, I wanted to name him Hendrix. He was one of the names that was on the list”.

That’s why the couple decided to switch to Hendrix. By the way, many people say that you need to look at the child to know which name suits him best. Do you agree?

Caterina Scorsone, one of the stars of Grey’s Anatomy, and her husband, Rob Giles, decided to change their daughter’s name four months after birth. The girl was initially named Arwen, but the parents decided to adopt the middle name, Lucinda (or its abbreviation, “Lucky”). The couple commented that they changed their minds after getting to know her a little better.
