Finnley Wasn’t the Only Option—Kylie Kelce Shares Her Baby Name “contenders that didn’t make the cut”

Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce went on “a journey” picking their fourth baby girl‘s name.

On Thursday, the “Not Gonna Lie” podcast host gave listeners insight on how newborn daughter Finnley’s moniker came to be — and revealed the “contenders that didn’t make the cut.”

The couple was considering naming their little one Colette and calling her Cole, as well as an option with Georgie as a nickname.

“I didn’t like anything that got us there,” Kylie, 33, noted. “No offense to anyone.”

The duo also debated Winnifred with “plans to call the baby Freddy because … a little girl named Freddie has to be so badass and so cute.”

Kylie and Jason, 37, did not settle on Finnley until filling out paperwork to get discharged from the hospital.

“For the first 24 hours, she did not have a name,” the former field hockey coach admitted. “She was baby girl Kelce there for a minute, and I considered just letting that one roll.”

Finnley, notably, was not “a single option” that the pair had previously discussed with their loved ones during Kylie’s pregnancy.

In fact, Finnley “was a serious contender” that Kylie and Jason were “bouncing back and forth between” while expecting their now-4-year-old daughter, Elliotte.

The couple, who are also the parents of daughters Wyatt, 5, and Bennett, 2, “had to run it back to the archives and borrow one from a different child.”

Kylie gushed that the infant, who appeared on the episode as a “special guest,” “is very much a Finn.”

As for baby No. 4’s middle name, Anne, Kylie “roasted” herself by calling it “the most generic middle name you could possibly have.”

It “covers a lot of people in [Kylie’s] life,” from her mom, to her paternal grandma, her sister and her cousin.

Kylie preemptively clapped back at any haters “triggered by the fact that” her and Jason’s fourth child “doesn’t have two T’s” like her older siblings, pointing out that she gave “fair warning” of a “curveball” in January.

“I totally respect your opinion on the names of our children, but I actually don’t care what that is,” she quipped. “And I mean that in the most loving and respectful way. We named them.

“There’s nothing we can do,” Kylie continued. “The paperwork is filed out and on its way to the government.”

She and Jason welcomed Finnley on Sunday, debuting her via Instagram two days later — which Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, showed subtle support for with a “like.”

On Wednesday, Finnley appeared on Jason and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast.

“Hey, little muffin. Look at you,” the “Kansas City Chiefs” player, 35, crooned while meeting her virtually. “You just look adorable, I don’t even have anything to say to you.”
