Courtney Kardashian’s recent addition to her family, her son Rocky 13, has sparked curiosity among fans regarding the inspiration behind his unique moniker. Speculations arose when keen-eyed fans noticed a potential connection between Rocky’s name and Kim Kardashian’s pet boxer named Rocky, featured during season five of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
The theory gained traction as some fans speculated that Courtney might have drawn inspiration from her sister Kim’s pet when naming her son. However, it was later revealed that Courtney and her husband, Travis Barker, had already considered the name Rocky for their son before this connection was brought to light. Travis, the talented Blink-182 drummer, playfully suggested the name during an episode of Complex’s Goat Talk video series in July 2023, indicating that the name held significance to him.
Travis, a proud father to his children Alabama and Landon from a previous marriage, as well as a father figure to Atiana De La Hoya, expressed nostalgia for the name Rocky 13. He revealed that the name was inspired by both the talented guitarist Rocky George of Suicidal Tendencies and the iconic boxing film “Rocky” from 1976. Additionally, the number 13 holds a special place of greatness in Travis’s eyes.
Despite some initial reservations, even Alabama, Travis’s daughter, expressed her approval of her baby brother’s name, deeming it “very cool.” The confirmation of the name came from Barker himself during an interview on the “One Life One Chance with Toby Mois” podcast in October 2023. He disclosed that the name Rocky 13 was solidified when their planned benefit event in Hawaii coincided with Rocky’s expected arrival.
Courtney and Travis’s blended family, which includes Courtney’s three children from her previous relationship with Scott Disick, has now welcomed Rocky 13, expanding their household. While fans may continue to speculate about the name’s origins, only Courtney and Travis truly know the inspiration behind their son’s unique moniker.
During Courtney’s Disney-themed baby shower, the couple fueled speculation about their baby’s name with an Instagram story featuring a heartfelt wish for baby Rocky’s life filled with love. The confirmation of the name further solidified during an interview, indicating that Rocky 13 holds a special place in the hearts of his family.
In conclusion, while fans may have initially speculated about the origins of Rocky 13’s name, Travis Barker’s nostalgic connections to the name, coupled with the couple’s heartfelt wishes for their son, shed light on the true inspiration behind this unique moniker. As Courtney and Travis continue to embrace their expanding family, Rocky 13 stands as a symbol of love and significance in their lives.
