Many believe that Kylie’s firstborn child has taken the prize for the most shocking name.
And now, Paris Hilton has welcomed her first child.
And today, she’s finally revealed the name.
“This is a name that is so special to me,” she teased on her most recent podcast episode.
“I have been planning my children’s names for years and years. I knew when I was a little girl that I always wanted to have a daughter one day named London, because London is one of my favorite cities in the world. I think it’s such a beautiful name. It could work for a boy or a girl. I love that name. I think it’s so beautiful, and I just think it sounds cute — Paris and London.”
She revealed she wanted to stick to the city theme for a boy’s name, too.
“I really believe that names have power, and we wanted a name for our baby boy that was uniquely remarkable,” Hilton continued.
“We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries, and states on a map. Looking for something to go with Paris and London.”
“Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more important, it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again,” she continued.
“I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives and that this should give us great hope for the future — even when the past is painful, and the present seems to have fallen to s—.”
“And so his name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.”
