Paris Hilton Shares Son’s Name With Fans On Her ‘This Is Paris’ Podcast
The new mom first told fans about her newborn’s name on her This is Paris podcast, telling fans she actually came up with the name many years ago when she was thinking about names that complement her ‘location’ name. She also teased fans that she already has her potential daughter’s name picked out too – so we could see a little ‘London Hilton Reum’ in the world in the near future!
As well as being a location that complements her own name, Paris told fans another reason why she chose the name Phoenix. “More important, it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again,” she explained. “I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives and that this should give us great hope for the future.”

Paris Reveals She And Carter Have 20 Frozen Boy Embryos, ‘Still Waiting’ For A Girl
The former Simple Life star also confessed that she and Carter aren’t stopping at one baby, as it’s their mission to have quite a large family. Paris said that she started the embryo freezing process over lockdown, and explained that she and her husband have successfully frozen 20 embryos. “Carter and I had already been talking about the future, and then the world was shut down, so I was like, ‘What do you think about us making embryos?'” she said in an interview with Glamour UK. “He said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it,'” she added.
However, Paris confessed that the embryos are all boys, and the pair are “waiting” for their girl embryo! “I have all boys. I have 20 boys,” she explained. “I just went through the process again a month ago, so I’m waiting for the results to see if there’s any girls.”
Paris Kept Her Son's Birth A Secret From Her Family, Including Her Mom
Interestingly, the Cooking with Paris star said she and Carter kept the birth of their son a secret from their friends and families – including her mom Kathy Hilton and sister Nicky Hilton Rothschild – for a week so they could enjoy the feeling of becoming new parents on their own. "Not even my mom, my sisters, my best friend knew until he was over a week old," Paris confessed. "It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. I just feel like my life has been so public, and I've never really had anything be just mine."
"So when we were talking about it, I really felt that I wanted this journey to be for us only," she continued. "Because we were so excited and wanted to tell our families, but we were just nervous because if you tell a person, then they tell someone, and all the sudden, it's in TMZ or Page Six, and I've had enough of my life like that. So Carter and I literally made a pact together that we would not tell anyone, and no one knew until just recently." But when her mom *did* eventually find out, it was "priceless," Paris explained. "When I introduced my mom to our baby boy, it was amazing to see the look on her face," she said. "She was so surprised — just the look on her face, it was priceless."
