Khloé Kardashian Revealed Her Son’s Lovely Name, Making Fans Emotional (Looks Like the Family Tradition Continues)

One of the things that the Kardashian family does best is keep us on our toes before announcing the names of their offspring. Khloé didn’t stray from her sisters’ traditions and took 9 months before letting the public know her second child’s special name. But it was worth the wait as Khloé’s choice turned out to be incredibly personal, so let’s learn more about it.

So far the most that we’ve known is that Khloé has decided to choose a name that starts with a T for her son, in line with her first-born daughter True and their father Tristan. It’s also very much in tradition with her and her sisters’ names, all of which begin with a K: Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall and Kylie. In addition, their mom’s name, Kris, also begins with a K.

But now, the wait is over, and we finally know what Khloé and Tristan settled on. A close source reports that their son’s official name is Tatum Robert Thompson. The second name, in particular, caught our attention as it is the name of Khloé’s deceased father, Robert Kardashian.

Interestingly, there was some debate about the name of Khloé’s son within the family, which is why, perhaps, it took her so long to go public with it. According to the insider: “There was talk about whether it should be Tatum Robert or Robert Tatum. Some in the family were leaning more toward Robert, because it honors her dad and her brother.”

The source continued: “Kris, in particular, was keen for the baby to be called Robert and was steering Khloé toward that. It took Khloé a little while to settle on the name, but ultimately she went with Tatum Robert, which is in keeping with Tristan’s and True’s names starting with a T.” Good for Khloé for sticking with her wishes, but still beautifully honoring her beloved father.

And if you thought waiting 9 months to reveal her child’s name was a lot, just wait till we remind you about her sister Kylie. Jenner kept her son’s name a secret for 11 whole months and, on top of that, refrained from showing his face too. But, we must admit, the reveal was worth the wait. We’re all about the excitement that the Kardashians consistently deliver to us.

Choosing a name for a child is a decision that parents make with great care, as it’s a choice that will define their kids throughout their lifetime. Celebrity parents, like Khloé Kardashian and many others, often opt for names with significant, endearing, or intriguing meanings for their children.
