Kris Jenner Explained How She Came Up With All Her Kids’ Names, and Some of These Are Wild

Ever wondered why all the Kar-Jenner girls have K-names? Was Kris Jenner really so ahead of her time that she predicted the amount of personal branding her family would need to do, before that family even existed? Or is it just to be cute?

In the second episode of the second season of Hulu’s The Kardashians, which aired on September 29, the ultimate momager broke down how she came up with each of her kids’ names, and it’s kind of a wild ride. The topic came up because Kylie still hasn’t revealed her son’s name, because she and boyfriend Travis Scott just couldn't pick but you can’t get a Social Security card without one; Khloé suggested Wolf because it’s alliterative with Webster, so they put that down as like a placeholder.

They should have just called Kris Jenner, though, because her system is…thorough.

“I knew my kids’ names before they were born,” Kris says in the episode. “I loved the name Courtney, and then I thought, it would be really interesting to put a K on it. So that was easy. And then Kim—Christmas is my favorite day of the year, and I love the name Noel, and that was gonna be maybe her name. But then it didn’t start with a K, and Koel sounded really weird, so it was Kimberly Noel,” Jenner recalled. I’ll just pause here and say she could have done Knoel with a silent K.

“And then Khloé. I loved Chloé the designer, and then I tried Chloé with a K, and that was really good too,” Jenner continued. I’ll pause again and say there is no Chloé the designer; there is a brand called Chloé founded by Gabrielle Aghion, who named it after her friend.
