Paris Hilton has revealed her son’s name after welcoming her first child with husband Carter Reum.
The Simple Life star dropped a bombshell last month, sharing she had become a mom and introduced a son via a surrogate.
Taking to Instagram, the 42-year-old confirmed that they had named the little one Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.
In a new video post to promote her upcoming memoir, she said: ‘My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.’
Discussing where they got the inspiration for his moniker, she continued: ‘We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided years ago.
‘When I was searching cities, countries and states on a map, looking for something to go with Paris and London.
‘Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly it’s a bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again.
‘I want my son to grow up knowing that triumph and disaster go around and come around throughout our lives, and that this should give us great hope for the future.
‘Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world.’
Fans were living for the unique name and rushed to praise her choice in the comments section below.
