Shocking: “Kylie Jenner Opens Up About the Other Name She Considered for Son Aire – Not Wolf – and How Postpartum Depression Influenced the Naming Journey

Kylie Jenner revealed what she nearly named her son, Aire, during an interview with British Vogue while battling postpartum depression.

Although she is more than satisfied with her final choice in what to call her youngest child, the reality star joked that her daughter, Stormi, ‘still to this day’ will ask if she remembers ‘when Aire’s name was Knight.’

The six-year-old, who the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum shares with Travis Scott, also insists to her mom that she likes the name, Knight, ‘better’ than Aire.

When the conversation comes up, however, Jenner just brushes it off and pretends not to remember that chapter.

Before settling on Aire, she and her former partner,33, selected the name, Wolf, but quickly decided that the name didn’t suit him.

In March 2022, just a month after his birth, Jenner clarified that Wolf was no longer her son’s name.

‘We just really didn’t feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere,’ the billionaire explained, at the time.

Just ahead of her son’s first birthday, she shared his new name, Aire, which means ‘Lion of God.’

During her British Vogue interview, Jenner got vulnerable as she shared that she is ‘finally feeling like’ herself again.

‘[Looking back] I think, being pregnant, I wore sweatpants every day, I didn’t have time to figure out even some of the little things in my life, and then postpartum lasted a year. Mentally, it’s really hard. Hormonally, it’s really hard,’ she explained.

Following Aire’s birth, Jenner noted that she endured ‘major baby blues.’

‘It hit me differently both times. Probably with my son it was major baby blues, so I was just so emotional over things that I probably wouldn’t be that emotional about [typically],’ she told the outlet

Jenner recalled being on the phone ‘all day’ with her mother, Kris Jenner, ‘crying’ as struggled to ‘figure out [Aire’s] name.’

‘Now my advice to all my friends having children is pick the name before, because when the hormones hit you can’t make decisions. You can’t,’ she said.

At the time, the mother-of-two said not being able to choose a name for her baby boy made her feel like a ‘failure.’

‘When I met him, he was just the most beautiful thing to me and I couldn’t believe just how perfect he was. I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t name him,’ she remembered. ‘He deserved so much more than that. It just really triggered me.’
