Khloe Kardashian almost named her son Tiger.

The Kardashians star, 41, welcomed a baby boy called Tatum - her second child with her ex-partner Tristan Thompson - via surrogate in 2022 and Khloe has now revealed she struggled to come up with a name for him after his birth and she was seriously considering a "wild" alternative.

During an Ask Me Anything video posted on YouTube, she explained: "Tatum, I don't think I landed on a name for like nine months. After he was born, which was crazy, we called him Baby at first.

"And then we would just like call him Rob, sometimes. I wanted a T name, something still unique but not too unique, not crazy. But I think the wildest name for him I liked was Tiger."

Khloe is also mother to daughter True, who was born in 2018, and she insisted there were no alternatives for her little girl's name - and she certainly wasn't going to agree to Tristan's Game of Thrones-inspired suggestion of Khaleesi.

Khloe said: "And then for True, there was no real options. I just knew it was True. I loved the name True. But Tristan wanted to name her Khaleesi.

"This was in the big Game Of Thrones era and I just knew we weren't naming her after Khaleesi, but I think that is the only other name I can think of but it wasn't going to happen. Khaleesi. Crazy."

The reality TV star went on to reveal True is actually an old family name which came from her mom Kris Jenner's dad, who died when she was young.

Khloe explained: "His name was Robert True. And then his dad was True something. And so my grandma when we were at dinner and I was like: 'What are we going to name this baby?' I really wanted a T name. I wanted their initials to be TT and she's like: 'Why not True?'

 

"That's your grandfather's name'. Anyways that's where that name came from."

It comes as Khloe confessed she is contemplating using one of her last "embryos in the freezer" to have a third child on her own now that she is single.

In the latest episode of her Khloe in Wonder Land podcast, she initially said "never say never" to having a third child, but noted she would want to be married and have a baby with her future husband.

Khloe continued: "Or, I have thought, maybe, I do have a few more embryos in the freezer. And I was like, I don't think I have the energy for another baby, but I do think girls need sisters.

"And it could just be how I was raised, like I feel like Tatum is gonna be fine, but a girl needs her sister, and I think maybe because that was my experience [with Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner]."

However, Khloe does not know if she could cope with having a third child.

The Kardashians cast member said: "But I think I have one girl left, and I have been contemplating, like, do I just do this? Do it on my own, do this? But I don't know if emotionally I could handle this. It's just been a thought. I don't think it's going to happen, because I don't have the energy."
