Kylie Jenner makes brave admission after revealing she called son Aire something completely different for whole year
Kylie Jenner has opened up about her emotional struggles after her son Aire was born, admitting she was 'hysterically crying' to her mum.
The 27-year-old mum-of-two has been getting candid about her journey into motherhood, including the lengthy process when it came to naming her second child, Aire, after welcoming him to the world back in 2022.
Previously speaking on The Kardashians, Kylie revealed she was rushed to land on a moniker - impulsively calling the newborn Wolf.

However, it seems like Wolf wasn't the only name in the mix as little Aire was also once called Knight.
It took Kylie a whole year to settle on Aire as she revealed in her latest interview with Vogue: "My son’s name was actually Knight for a long time and my daughter, still to this day, is like, 'Do you remember when Aire’s name was Knight?'
"And I’m like, 'No', And she’s like, 'That was so funny, mum. I like Knight better', and I’m like, 'You know what, we are not doing this again'."
Elsewhere in the interview, Kylie gushed that motherhood is 'everything to her', continuing: "Stormi wasn’t planned. It happened, but obviously I knew that I wanted to have her. I wanted children so bad.
"No matter what I’m going through or what I look like or what the internet writes about me that day, I come home and my kids just love me unconditionally."
She added: "They’re just obsessed with me and that’s taught me to walk through life a little easier.
"I’m like, 'OK, well I have these little humans at home that need me and love me and think I’m the most perfect person in the world, so I don’t really need validation from outside sources'."
It's clear things weren't always smooth-sailing for the Kylie Cosmetics founder as she unfortunately suffered from prolonged postpartum depression after both of her children’s births, bravely sharing: "It hit me differently both times.
"Probably with my son it was major baby blues, so I was just so emotional over things that I probably wouldn’t be that emotional about [typically]."
She recalled she would be on the phone with her mum, Kris Jenner, 'all day' while crying saying, 'I can’t figure out his name'.
"Now my advice to all my friends having children is pick the name before, because when the hormones hit you can’t make decisions," she advised. "You can’t."
Gushing about her youngest, Kylie added: "When I met him, he was just the most beautiful thing to me and I couldn’t believe just how perfect he was.
"I felt like such a failure that I couldn’t name him. He deserved so much more than that. It just really triggered me."
