Per that outlet (drumroll please!), Khloé and Tristan’s 10-month-old child boy has been named…
Tatum Robert Thompson.
We like it! The identify ‘Tatum’ is cute AF! They can name him ‘Tate’ for brief if they need (tremendous candy), they usually’ve acquired the alliterative “T” — Tate Thompson — identical to 5-year-old daughter True Thompson. We stan it!
FYI, the center identify alternative is a crucial one, too. As KarJenner followers little doubt notice, choosing “Robert” is Khloé’s approach of paying homage to her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who died in September 2003 after a battle with most cancers.
Interestingly, the outlet additionally reported selecting the identify Tatum Robert was the topic of appreciable household dialogue behind the scenes. Per the information org, Kris Jenner was “keen” on Khloé choosing Robert because the child’s first identify. The momager allegedly even tried “steering” the Good American founder in direction of that alternative.
An insider defined:
“There was talk about whether it should be Tatum Robert or should it be Robert Tatum. Some in the family were leaning more towards Robert, because it honors her dad and her brother. Kris in particular was keen for the baby to be called Robert and was steering Khloé towards that.”
Inneresting!
That insider went on so as to add that Khloé thought of it for some time however finally most popular Tatum — and flipped the identify order to maintain with all of it “T” themed:
“It took Khloé a little while to settle on the name but ultimately she went with Tatum Robert, which is in keeping with Tristan and True’s names starting with a ‘T.’ Khloé wanted a name that was kind of unusual but not too out there and also keeping with the ‘T’ theme.”
That is sensible!
And we completely get the “unusual but not too out there” vibe. Tatum isn’t an excellent widespread identify, and there positively aren’t many well-known folks with the moniker. Of course, actress Tatum O’Neal instantly involves thoughts. And sports activities followers will recall former NFL working again Tatum Bell. But past that, it’s fairly distinctive!

As Perezcious readers will recall, Khloé talked about Tatum on Jennifer Hudson‘s daytime discuss present early final month.
The Kardashians star did NOT reveal the kid’s identify throughout that section on the Jennifer Hudson Show in early April. But Khloé did say she had the identify all lined up by then, and it was in use privately amongst members of the family:
“Yes, he’s named, but I haven’t announced it yet. He was delivered via surrogate, or the stork as I like to say. And at first, I did not know what I was going to name him. I wanted to meet him and feel him out a little bit, and so at first he didn’t have a name.”
Speaking to Hudson on the ep, she then added:
“He’s been named, but I’ve been waiting for the premiere of our show. So now I’m just like, if my daughter outs me, I’m screwed.”
Well, the third season of The Kardashians premieres on Hulu on May 25, so Khloé ALMOST made it.
Don’t blame True for this one, although! Something tells us she’s not the supply who delivered all this identify information and the behind-the-scenes debate particulars. LOLz! We’re guessing it was somebody who noticed an early lower of the season premiere…
