Kylie Kelce, wife of former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, has issued a sharp retort to anyone criticizing the unique names she and her husband have chosen for their three daughters. The podcaster and high school field hockey coach made her feelings abundantly clear during a recent episode of her show, "Not Gonna Lie."
A Fiery Response to "Rage Bait"
Addressing a question she labeled as "pure rage bait," Kelce confronted the query "What’s with the boy names?" head-on. She explained that the couple deliberately selected gender-neutral names for their girls. Their four children are Wyatt, 6; Elliotte, 4; Bennett, 2; and Finnley, who was born in March.
"I’ll tell you what’s with the boys’ names. We ― my husband and I ― liked gender-neutral names for our daughters," Kelce stated firmly. She revealed that they chose the name Wyatt for their eldest daughter even before they knew the baby's gender.
"I Didn't Ask for Your Opinion"
The core of Kelce's frustration lies in the unsolicited opinions. She made it clear that the naming decision was a private matter between her and her husband. "The part that I take issue with, on people having an issue with our names, is that I actually didn’t ask. I didn’t ask what you thought about my kids’ names," she declared.
She challenged critics to understand the difficulty of the task, adding, "My husband and I agreed on the names; we like them. You ― honestly ― you should try naming a human being. It’s not easy."
Kelce also expressed annoyance when people probe if "Wyatt" is a family name, interpreting it as an attempt to find a "saving grace" for their unconventional choice. Her final message to the critics was blunt and delivered with a laugh: "Getting fucked, because they can get fucked."
The Struggle of Naming a Child
This isn't the first time Kylie Kelce has been open about the challenges of naming her children. Back in April, she humorously roasted herself for giving their newborn, Finnley, a middle name she considered "the most generic middle name you could possibly have."
With the paperwork already submitted to the government, she laughed about the permanence of their decisions, highlighting the very real pressure and finality that parents face when naming their children.
