Taylor Lautner and wife Taylor Lautner tease unborn baby’s name - fans will be thrilled
Taylor Lautner's wife, also named Taylor Lautner, has shared another clue about their baby's name, joking that she might get 'cancelled'.
The Twilight star, 34, and the 29-year-old registered nurse who goes by ‘Tay’, announced they would become parents later this year.
The Lautners shared the news on Instagram back in March with the cheeky caption: “What’s better than two Taylor Lautners?”
The parents-to-be, who have since shared that they are expecting a baby girl, have confirmed that they haven’t ruled out calling her Taylor Lautner.

During a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Tay was asked about the baby names the couple were considering.
Host Alex Cooper asked: “Was there any consideration of naming your child Taylor?”
“It may be in the mix,” Tay teased.
She added: “We will find out when the baby comes. I feel like if I don’t name my baby Taylor, the internet’s literally gonna cancel me.”
Tay went on to joke: “I’m gonna get cancelled.”
The couple would also consider the name Taylor Lautner even if they were expecting a little boy, too. Which shouldn't come as a big surprise considering we know that the name Taylor Lautner can be unisex.
“We used to always joke that if we’re having a boy, we’d name him Taylor and call him TJ,” she revealed on the podcast.
The pair were introduced by Taylor's sister, Makena Moore, during his break from acting in 2016.
“I wanted to take a step back and enjoy life and spend some time with my family and friends,” he told PEOPLE in January 2022. “And I met my fiancée out of it, so it all worked out.”
They tied the knot in 2022, and Tay, who was born Taylor Dome, took her husband’s last name, becoming Taylor Lautner as well.
Shortly after the wedding, the then-newlyweds spoke on The Today Show about what it's really like having the same name as your spouse.
Co-host Sheinelle Jones questioned: “Your friends and family, they call you [the actor] Taylor, and they just call you [his wife] Tay?”
Tay explained that it can be confusing, but to make things easier for people, she often goes by the shortened version of her name, and her hubby goes by Taylor.
They also go by 'girl Tay' and 'boy Tay', to help eliminate any miscommunications.
She said: “Yeah, we’ve kind of got boy Tay, girl Tay going on. And that is how they differentiate it. But now I’m always girl Tay, and he’s always boy Tay - even when we’re not together.”
In an Instagram video shared with fans on 7 June, Taylor and Tay sat on the sofa in front of a laptop as they clicked through the steps to find out their baby’s gender.
“Our little secret is now yours,” the couple captioned the sweet Instagram post.
Fans responded to the gender reveal video by urging the couple to name their baby girl Taylor.
“Taylor Lautner III ?” one Instagram user replied in the comments, as another excited fan said: “They’re gonna have a little Taylor.”
“Is she gonna be named Taylor,” someone else wrote.
Similarly, another commenter shared: “Pls name her Taylor!!!!”
Time will tell!
