Breaking News: Travis Kelce Just Revealed What He Wants to Name His Firstborn — & We’re Here for the Alliteration
- While Traylor fans go nuts speculating about whether marriage and/or building a family is on the horizon for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, Travis is adding fuel to the fire. The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs just revealed on a new episode of his podcast New Heights — which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce — what he wants to name his first born child.
“I might name my first kid Conan,” Travis said. “I might.”
It’s hard to say how serious he was about this, given that he was interviewing Arnold Schwarzenegger who is known for playing the title role in Conan the Barbarian. Still, we are so here for the alliteration. Conan Kelce?! That’s got a great ring to it.
The name has Celtic and Irish origins and can mean high, wise, and elevated. Along with the barbarian, it also brings thoughts of a certain talk show host to mind. (We’re looking at you, Conan O’Brien!) And it would definitely be fitting if Travis’ firstborn shared the name of another celebrity.
It’s hard to say how Swift feels about the name Conan, but we have a feeling she’s coming to love the names Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. She is in her auntie era, after all! The billionaire singer (*round of applause*) reportedly had the chance to hang out with Travis’ nieces over Easter weekend. This is believed to be the first time the “Anti-Hero” singer met the little girls who adore their “Uncle Travvy.”
Last fall, sister-in-law Kylie Kelce called Travis the “absolute best uncle you can imagine.”
“I tell everybody, he comes to our house to visit and the poor guy doesn’t sit on the couch because our daughters will be like, ‘No, no, you sit on the floor. We’re gonna do a puzzle. We’re gonna build blocks. We’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that,’” Kylie told People. “Our oldest…she just has demand after demand for him. And I’m like, ‘Trav, you know you can tell Wyatt no?’”
But nope, the Super Bowl winner is wrapped around the 4-year-old’s finger.
“She’ll be like, ‘Jump up and down.’ He’ll do it. ‘Roll on the floor,’ he’ll do it. ‘Be the pony.’ He’ll do it. So he’s all-in when it comes to being an uncle,” Kylie continued. “He is the epitome of an uncle, just through and through.”
And we have to imagine he’d be the epitome of a dad to a future little Conan Kelce.
