Just a couple weeks ago at Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s baby shower, fans spotted a handwritten note adorned with the words “May Baby Rocky have life filled with love,” leading many to believe that Baby Barker’s name could be Rocky—and Travis just confirmed it! On the Oct. 30th podcast episode of “One Life One Chance With Toby Morse,” Travis Barker announced not only that his son will be named Rocky, but also that his due date is this week!
The Kardashians star and Blink-182 drummer have been longing for a baby of their own for quite some time, so it isn’t completely shocking to discover that they have already decided on a name for their little bundle of joy. And thanks to eagle-eyed fans, many knew what the baby’s name would be on Sept. 23rd, the day of the married couple’s Disneyland-themed baby shower.
Travis Barker Confirms Baby Name And Due Date
In the podcast episode, Travis was explaining that while he wanted to do a benefit concert for Hawaii, he couldn’t because it would have been "the week that Rocky’s due." Host Tony Morse latched on to this tidbit of information and asked, "Rocky 13 Barker?" and the musician confirmed the name.
And when Toby asked when baby Rocky is due, Travis answered, "Halloween…It's either Halloween or, like, the first week of November." (Yes, that does mean Baby Rocky could have been born already!)
Kourtney Kardashian Accidentally Reveals Their Baby's Name In Instagram Story
On Sept. 23rd, the couple had a Disneyland-themed baby shower which was attended by their close friends and family members, which included Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes, Alice in Wonderland themed juice, and a Steamboat Willie cake, among other things. (And yes, we have serious FOMO!)
As with most things the Kardashians do, the event was documented on social media and quite a few pictures and videos from the baby shower made their way onto Instagram. One video in particular really got eagle-eyed fans' attention, as it featured a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves themed wish tree featuring handwritten wishes, with one of the wishes seemingly addressed to Baby Barker.
The Instagram story features one of the guests placing a handwritten wish on the tree; and when they zoomed in to see the wish in a little more detail, could see that it read, "May Baby Rocky have…life filled with love," which made fans believe that Baby Barker's name could very well be Rocky Barker.
According to Reddit, the guest in the video was Kourtney's childhood friend Veronique Barnes, who posted the video onto her Instagram Story (and later, her grid) and tagged Kourtney in it. Kourtney reportedly shared the video on her own account and took it down very shortly afterwards (but not before fans could take a screenshot, of course) perhaps because she knew that the name could be seen.
Travis actually discussed the name Rocky on an episode of Complex’s Goat Talk back in July. When talking with his daughter Alabama, 17, about potential baby names, the Blink-182 drummer said: "I like Rocky 13. That’s just the name that’s been going through my head. Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies and 13 is just the greatest number of all time."
His daughter chimed in: "So, you’re going to name your kid Rocky 13? Let’s see how this goes when he’s at school and [people yell], 'Rocky!'… I think mine were better." Her names, for what it’s worth, were Piteck, Milan, and Audomar.
Reddit Comments
Fans on Reddit were definitely convinced that Kourtney and Travis' baby would be called Rocky. "I’m telling you mark my words they named that baby Rocky Barker!" exclaimed one Reddit user, followed by three crying laughing emojis.
"I remember an interview a few months back of Travis saying that he likes the name 'Rocky' for the baby," recalled another, as another remembered that another A-lister's son also has that name, writing, "Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr named their son Rocky."
"Rocky Barker either sounds like a protein bar or a late 90s/early 2000s cartoon," quipped another user, as another chimed in writing, "Rocky Barker sounds like an energy drink or a protein bar." "Rocky Barker is a cartoon character," someone else thought, as another asked, "Will Rocky be short for Rockstar?"
