Okay, So Kourtney Kardashian Just Accidentally Told Us Her Baby Name

Analysing the Kardashians during any pregnancy, I believe, is on par with getting a Ph.D. in public relations. They have turned it into an art form, sharing just enough for their fans to follow along but not too much that it still seems like a special, intimate time for them.

Kylie Jenner obviously took the cake for the best pregnancy announcement of all time, when she released a Hollywood-style film when she gave birth to her daughter, Stormi. I will never forget that day the YouTube notification came through. I clicked in and watched agasp seven times over before sending all-caps messages to everyone I knew. “KYLIE JENNER HAD A BABY!! I BLOODY KNEW IT!!”

And now, of course, Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her fourth child.

Kourtney and her husband, Travis Barker, have been very open about their struggles to fall pregnant on The Karashians and now that they are expecting, they’ve been leaning big into the celebrations.

There was an iconic pregnancy announcement at Travis’ Blink 182 concert, a gender-reveal party (I know, I know, they’re embarrassing as heck, but sometimes we have to let celebrities be cheugy) where they drummed in the explosion, revealing that they were having a baby boy. 

But one thing they were seemingly trying to keep to themselves was the name they had picked out for their son. 

Travis did reveal on Instagram that they “already” knew their son’s name, so that confirmed a name was locked in, but they wouldn’t be sharing it prior to the birth. However, that secrecy flew right out the window when Kourtney accidentally posted a video from her baby shower with the baby name literally hanging from a tree.

In a now-deleted video, Kourtney was seen standing next to a tree littered with notes of well wishes for their son, written by the guests at the baby shower. On one of the tags was the opener, “May Baby Rocky…”

Now, I may not be a parent, but I’m pretty damn sure that isn’t a stock-standard baby-related phrase. That was a name drop. An accidental name drop. A whoopsiebaby, if you will.

The fact that Kourtney deleted that video is further proof that it wasn’t meant to be seen by my prying eyes. But Travis’ approach to the name leak is a little more chiller, as he’s now liking Tweets of fans who are commending their name choice. 

And just in case you needed further evidence that ‘Rocky’ is definitely the baby name, Travis Barker actually referenced this name as an option early on in Kourtney’s pregnancy. 

During a chat with Complex in July, the drummer said he was enjoying “Rocky 13” for a baby name. “Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies,” Barker said, referencing the ’80s band. “And 13 is just the greatest number of all time. And Rocky [is] the greatest boxing movie of all time.”

Okay, so this is definitely it. But knowing the tendency of the Kardashian-Jenner family to switch up baby names (I’m looking at you Aire, previously known as Wolf), there’s a chance that Kourtney and Travis might shake it up now that the name ‘Rocky’ has been outed.
