Alabama Barker Roasts Dad Travis Barker Over Baby Name
What's in a name? A whole lot, just ask these stars.
While we love learning our favorite celebrity couple is expecting, there's nothing quite as thrilling as finding out the name they give their newest addition (especially when people like Khloe Kardashian make us wait nine months for the big reveal). Though some monikers tend to be more surprising than others, just ask Alabama Barker.
When Travis Barker revealed he wants to name his and pregnant Kourtney Kardashian's son Rocky Thirteen, the 17-year-old couldn't help by roast her dad. "That's so bad," she recently told him during Complex's "GOAT Talk" video series. "Let's see how that goes when he's at school."
The inspiration? Well, "Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies," the Blink-182 drummer explained. "And 13 is just the greatest number of all time."
For her part, Alabama also had some interesting suggestions. "Audemars, Milan, f--kin' Patek," she shared, seemingly referencing luxury watches before adding, "I also like Cloud—like, something weird."
And tbh, we'll be on cloud nine when Kourtney welcomes her fourth baby, her first with Travis.
Until then, perhaps these stars and their kids can help inspire a name for baby Kravis. After all, X Æ A-12 Barker has a nice ring to it, don't you think? And there are plenty more to choose from.

Apple Martin
As Gwyneth Paltrow explained to Oprah Winfrey, her daughter's unforgettable name was actually picked by Chris Martin: "When we were first pregnant, her daddy said, 'If it's a girl I think her name should be Apple'...It sounded so sweet, and it conjured such a lovely picture for me, you know. Apples are so sweet and they're wholesome, and it's biblical."

Exa Dark Sideræl Musk
Singer Grimes said in an interview with Vanity Fair, published in March 2022, that she and Elon Musk privately welcomed a baby girl recently via surrogacy.
"Exa is a reference to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS (the ability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second)," she said. "Dark, meanwhile, is 'the unknown. People fear it but truly it's the absence of photons. Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.'"
Sideræl—pronounced "sigh-deer-ee-el"—is "the true time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative earth time," she said, and a nod to her favorite Lord of the Rings character, Galadriel, who "chooses to abdicate the ring."
