In True Kardashian Fashion, Kourtney and Travis Reveal Their Son’s Elegantly Edgy Name
In an only-in-Hollywood moment, reality royalty Kourtney Kardashian and drummer beau Travis Barker have selected a moniker for their newborn son that artfully encompasses both his rockstar heritage and coveted place as the famous family’s thirteenth grandchild.
The stylish stars of The Kardashians have named their baby boy Rocky Thirteen Barker, according to a birth certificate obtained this week. The chic, punchy name expertly references Barker’s musical background and keeps up with the Kardashian tradition of unexpected baby names.
With echoes of rocky music legends like Rocky Balboa and Rocky Raccoon, the distinctive first name signifies the tiny Barker boy’s place in the family tree as the famous blink-182 drummer’s first son. The middle name thirteen is an elegant wink to baby Rocky’s status as the thirteenth Kardashian grandchild, as referenced by aunt Khloé Kardashian in a recent baby shower TikTok post.
Together, the cosmopolitan name Rocky Thirteen projects preppy edge, fitting for a Gen Z style icon in the making. With indie credits like Penelope, Reign and North in the KarJenner clan, this new moniker shows Kardashian’s savvy ability to blend her family’s signature vibe with Barker’s rock-and-roll essence.
Fans first caught wind of the distinctive name last month, when Kardashian, ever the masterful influencer, sneakily hinted at it in her fairytale Disney-themed baby shower. At the Magic Kingdom-inspired soiree, attendees hung well-wishes for “Baby Barker” on a special “Wishing Tree.”
Eagle-eyed social media users zoomed in on the whimsical tree decor to reveal advice “for Baby Rocky,” seemingly confirming his avant-garde first name. The reveal echoed an earlier interview where Barker proclaimed “Rocky Thirteen Barker” as a potential name circulating in his head.
The stylish stars announced their pregnancy in classic Kardashian fashion – with an expertly staged Instagram post – just months after their lavish Italian wedding in May. Kardashian’s chic maternity style remained the highlight of her pregnancy journey, as she donned designer duds perfectly tailored to her changing figure.
Befitting newborn Rocky’s world-famous family, his arrival was heralded by sisters Kim and Khloé in social media birth announcements. Proud father Barker also celebrated on his Instagram, declaring “My heart is now forever outside of my body.”
As the newest addition to reality TV’s most followed family, and with edgy parents boasting a combined social media following over 100 million, little Rocky Thirteen is primed to be a next generation style star. His unique name also sets the stage for him to seamlessly bridge the Kardashian clan’s polish with the Barker family’s punk rock style.
With a moniker transcending both musical eras and familial roles, Rocky Thirteen Barker’s entrance exhibits the Kardashian-Jenner expertise for distinctively branding a new generation. His of-the-moment name telegraphs that this littlest KarJenner cousin will be impossible to ignore as he takes the famous family into the future.
