Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce are now the parents of a fierce foursome after they welcomed their newborn daughter, Finnley “Finn” Anne, on March 30. The couple have four girls: Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and newborn Finnley. Their unique names are a creative spin on gender norms, but what was the inspiration?
As Kylie said on her podcast, *Not Gonna Lie*, if a pregnant woman tells you their baby’s name, don’t offer your opinion. “If she chooses to share it with you, feel privileged enough that you get to know that information, and then promptly tell them that’s beautiful and move the f— on,” she advised.
Their names are gender-neutral and all have double letters. Kylie discussed the topic on her podcast when she spoke with former soccer player Alex Morgan, whose daughter is named Charlie. “We debated Charlie for our first, and then within I think six months we had three different friends who named their kid Charlie,” Kylie mentioned. “This was six years ago, and Jason and I were like, ‘Shoot, now we can’t do Charlie.’”
Kylie was conscious of nicknames when picking names, which automatically removed some names from the list of potentials. “When you suggest a baby name think of the nicknames that would then go along with that name because I know a lot of great Gary’s but I cannot name my daughter Garrett knowing that her nickname would be Gary,” she explained.
Jason and Kylie’s third daughter Bennett, who was born in 2023, has the middle name Llewellyn, after Jason’s grandmother. “It’s Grandma Mary’s maiden name. I wanted to honor Grandma Mary, who is now resting in peace,” Jason said.
When thinking of a name for her youngest daughter, Kylie almost found inspiration in Kate Hudson’s iconic character Andie from the 2003 romantic comedy classic *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*. “*How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days* is one of my favorite movies of all-time, but absolutely my favorite rom-com,” Kylie told Hudson. “We’ve even considered Andie as a name for our fourth girl … Andie would fit in there and it would be so cool.”
The youngest Kelce’s name is Finnley Anne Kelce, but according to Kylie, she will go by “Finn” for short. “The name Finn was not one of the names that we were discussing with other people, but came back around because it was a serious contender for Elliotte’s name,” she explained.
Jason’s younger brother Travis Kelce both met and learned of his new niece’s name while recording the *New Heights* podcast. “Jason, you only sent one picture … you didn’t even tell me what name you picked yet,” Travis said after Jason asked him if he wanted to meet Finnley during their recording.
