When it comes to baby names, the Kardashian family always picks ones that are, well, on the unusual side: Kim, for example, has daughters named North and Chicago, while Kylie Jenner called her son “Wolfe” before later changing it to Aire. Turns out, Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian will be no exception.
On the podcast One Life Once Chance With Toby Morse, Barker recently revealed that he and Kardashian are planning to name their son Rocky. He explained to host Toby Morse that he was unable to play at a benefit in Hawaii because it falls “the week that Rocky’s due,” which prompted Morse to clarify, “Rocky Thirteen Barker”? The elder Barker then repeated the name.
Barker also made a joke about its association with the famous boxing movie: “He’s going to come out of my wife’s vagina, like, doing front kicks and pushups.”
The name Rocky has associations far beyond Sylvester Stallone, however: Back in July, Barker mentioned to Complex that he and Kourtney Kardashian were mulling over the moniker—and a big draw was its punk music associations. “Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies,” he said. As for the middle name of Thirteen? “Thirteen is just the greatest number of all time.” (Notably, Barker has a skull tattoo with the numbers “1” and “3” in the eye sockets. In tattoo culture, the number holds rich symbolism as a rebellion against superstition.)
Although the world won’t know for sure until Baby Barker arrives—which, according to his father, is any day now—it seems like Rocky is the newest addition to the Kardashian brood.
