While some joked on Twitter that the couple might name their child “Skull,” “Drumstick,” or “Blink,” other more detail-oriented Kravis fans pointed to the music-inspired name that Barker revealed himself in November 2021.
Commenting under a photo his wife shared of their True Romance-themed costumes for Halloween that year, the drummer wrote, “Our son’s name would be Elvis.” The movie was allegedly the inspiration behind Barker’s youngest daughter’s name, Alabama, after the female lead in the 1993 film, which has eagle-eyed fans doubling down on their insistence that the baby’s name will be Elvis.

Fan Speculation About the Due Date

The Lemme founder wrote, “sweet summer ????,” and people quickly assumed the fruit emojis chosen by Kardashian were an indicator of how far along she is in her pregnancy. Referring to the sizes of a fetus at certain stages of gestation, one person commented, “Avocado is 14 weeks, pear 17 weeks, mango 19 weeks… So she’s in her second trimester at around 19/20 weeks.”
The couple has yet to confirm the baby’s due date, but it’s been a heavily debated topic since they announced the news just over a week ago.
