Kylie Kelce Revealed Which Baby Names She And Jason Kelce Almost Picked For Their 4th Daughter, And I’m Tearing Up
Kylie and Jason Kelce’s newest bundle of joy almost had a completely different name.
In a post on Instagram, Kylie revealed that their fourth baby girl was born on March 30 and named Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce.
And, yes, the Kelce parents fully know that Finn’s name breaks the older siblings’ double “T” tradition. Kylie explained that “Anne” is the namesake of her paternal grandmother, her sister’s middle name, and her cousins’ middle names. But her fourth daughter’s first name took much consideration.
On Kylie’s Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, the mother of 4 revealed that a bunch of other names were considered altogether before they finally decided on Finnley.
She and Jason hadn’t decided on Finnley until they filled out the discharge paperwork for the hospital. “For the first 24 hours of her life, she did not have a name,” she said. “We didn’t go with a single option that we had been discussing.”
“She was baby girl Kelce for a minute, and I considered just letting that one roll. It was going to be a very Phoebe from Friends moment. Like, ‘Aww, you named her baby girl.'”
Here are the “other contenders that didn’t make the cut,” according to Kylie:
There’s Collette, and they would give her the nickname Collie.
Next up was Georgie, but Kylie “didn’t like anything that got them to that name.”
Then, she also considered the name Winnifred, which is not to be confused with the name of their deceased dog, Winnie. They would’ve called her Freddie, which Kylie thought was a badass nickname for a girl.
Finnally (I’m hilarious), they settled on Finnley.
Finnley was actually a name they had considered for another daughter. “When we were pregnant with Ellie, we were bouncing back and forth between Finnley and Elliotte.”
“Considering we had to name four children with the same gender, we had to run it back to the archives and borrow one from a different child,” Kylie said.
For all the people suggesting other names and living in her comment section, Kylie said, “I totally respect your opinion on the names of our children, but I actually don’t care what that is. And I mean in that in the most loving and respectful way. We named them. It’s official.”
“There’s nothing we can do. The paperwork is filed out and on its way to the government,” she added. “[She] is very much a Finn,” Kylie said.
If you’re looking for a cute name for your next baby, I would consider looking into the Kelce archives because Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, Finnley, Collette, Georgie, and Winnifred are stinking adorable.
Welcome to the world, Finn! (or Little Muffin, as her Uncle Travis already calls her).

I’ll go first. My mom’s water broke during the 1988 NBA Championship game, and she named me after Michael Cooper from the Lakers, but she liked the way Mychal Thompson spelled his name. She never considered the confusion it would cause on social media one day since we have the same exact first and last name.
