- Kylie Jenner, 27, took a full year to choose a name for her son due to challenges related to postpartum depression.
- Now, she encourages her pregnant friends to finalize baby names prior to delivery, as shared in an interview with British Vogue.
- Some professional naming consultants may charge as much as $10,000 for their expertise in helping parents select the ideal baby name.
Kylie Jenner has revealed that it took her an entire year to settle on a name for her son largely because of enduring postpartum depression.
In conversation with British Vogue, the founder of Kylie Cosmetics opened up about her experiences as a young mother and the difficulties she faced with postpartum depression following each childbirth. She is a mother-of-two: Stormi, aged 6, and Aire, aged 2, both children from her former relationship with Travis Scott.
“Both experiences affected me uniquely,” mentioned Jenner. “With my son’s birth in particular, I experienced severe emotions which impacted my decision-making.” The emotional turmoil made it challenging for her to focus on everything from daily tasks to naming choices.
Jenner recounted how difficult it was for her not only emotionally but also when trying to choose an appropriate name. “I spent hours on calls with my mom crying and saying things like ‘I can’t decide on his name.’ When I finally held him in my arms—and he was undeniably beautiful—I felt immense pressure placing such significance on giving him his rightful title. I couldn’t shake off that feeling of inadequacy.” Eventually taking almost a full year after Aire’s arrival before coming up with his name brought some closure after months of deliberation.
Currently advising fellow mothers-to-be within her circle, she stresses the importance of making naming choices early: “It’s crucial,” Kylie insists. “The rush of hormones makes decision-making incredibly tough post-delivery.”
A survey analyzed by BabyCenter—a popular platform focusing on pregnancy guidance—reported that among 4,000 participants surveyed about when they typically choose their child’s names; most opt during their second trimester. Interestingly enough though more than 17% confessed they wait until birth day while around another 8% procrastinate even longer—upwards towards weeks—to make this pivotal choice!
