Kylie Jenner admits she’s not good with names. And by that, The Kardashians star means it was a true struggle for her and ex Travis Scott to settle on a moniker for their 2-year-old son. And while they ultimately went with Aire Webster , it took quite some time to decide.
“When I met him, he was just the most beautiful thing to me and I couldn’t believe just how perfect he was,” she told British Vogue in an interview published August 13. “I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t name him. He deserved so much more than that.
It just really triggered me.” Indeed, Kylie—who also shares 6-year-old Stormi with Travis—grappled with several names for Aire, including Wolf, which she initially used to introduce him to the world, and another previously unshared title. “My son’s name was actually Knight for a long time,” the 27-year-old noted.
“My daughter, still to this day, is like, ‘Do you remember when Aire’s name was Knight?’ And I’m like, ‘No.’” The Khy founder went on to joke that Stormi still adds to her anxiety that surrounds finding the perfect name for her toddler. “And she’s like, ‘That was so funny, Mom, I like Knight better,’” Kylie added.
“And I’m like, ‘You know what, we are not doing this again.’” Indeed, Kylie went through the ringer while trying to settle on a cognomen for Aire, before landing on the Hebrew name that means “Lion of God.” Shortly after Aire was born in February 2022, Kylie shared his for.
