We’ve followed Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s whirlwind romance for years, and in 2023 they welcomed their first child together. The Blink-182 drummer and the reality show star have never failed to turn heads, and this time around, they’ve taken it up a notch.
The couple has named their child, Rocky Thirteen Barker, an unconventional name that might leave you confused, especially if you’ve heard it for the first time and don’t know the lore behind it. So let’s delve into the heartfelt story behind their newborn’s name, and take a brief look at their strong family, along with their thriving relationship.
Why Rocky Thirteen Barker? A Name with Punk Roots and Personal Significance
There’s one great quality aboutTravis Barker, i.e., he’s undeniably himself, all the time! When it comes to names, most parents would opt for something traditional or trendy. But Kardashian and Barker decided that their child’s name should be as unique as ever, and should reflect a beautiful story about their personalities.
Essentially, the name draws inspiration from Barker’s love for music, the number thirteen, and is also a nod to one of his favorite movies. The name“Rocky”is of great significance for the musician, as it is partly a tribute to Rocky George, the guitarist from the punk band, Suicidal Tendencies, and also pays homage to the 1976 movieRockystarring Sylvester Stallone (viaE News).
By naming his son after Rocky George, Barker is not only honoring the legacy of the music legend but also connecting his son to the history of punk rock, a genre he deeply loves. Moreover, the film is based on a down-on-his-luck boxer who gets a shot at winning the title, and it’s widely regarded as one of the best boxing films ever made. So Barker is also linking his child’s name to themes of perseverance and overcoming adversities.
Lastly, Thirteen is a part of his name because it happens to be Barker’s favorite, and he considers it to be the greatest number of all time. It’s not a quirky preference, but a deep sentiment because he also has 1 and 3 tattooed on a skull near his elbow. 13 is usually associated with superstitions and rebellion, and both of these things align with the drummer’s punk rock aesthetics.
