Taylor Lautner and Wife Tay May Name Their Baby Girl Taylor: ‘It May Be in the Mix’

Taylor Lautner and his wife, Tay Lautner, are preparing to welcome their first child — and there is one possible baby name that has already captured plenty of attention.

The couple, who are expecting a baby girl, have not ruled out naming their daughter Taylor.

The possibility came up during Tay’s appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, where she opened up about pregnancy, the pressure of choosing a name and the unique situation of having parents who are both named Taylor.

When Cooper asked whether the couple had considered naming their child Taylor, Tay gave a response that left the possibility open.

“It may be in the mix,” she said. “We will find out when the baby comes.”

Could There Soon Be Three Taylors in the Family?

For Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner, choosing a name comes with an unusual challenge.

Both parents share the same name, and fans have apparently embraced the idea of the couple continuing the tradition with their daughter.

According to Tay, however, choosing a name has brought plenty of pressure.

“I feel like if I don’t name my baby Taylor, the internet’s literally going to cancel me,” she joked.

“I’m going to get cancelled.”

At the same time, Tay questioned whether giving their daughter the same name as both parents would actually be the right decision.

“But I’m like, guys, are you really going to want that name?” she said.

The couple has not made a final decision and reportedly has several names under consideration.

If Taylor is not the final choice, they have another three to five names on their list.

The Couple Once Had a Different Plan for a Baby Boy

Although Taylor and Tay are expecting a girl, the couple had previously joked about what they would do if they had a son.

According to Tay, they once considered giving a baby boy the name Taylor and calling him TJ.

“We used to always joke that if we’re having a boy, we’d name him Taylor and call him TJ,” she said.

Now that the couple is preparing to welcome a daughter, their naming conversation has taken a different direction — but the name Taylor apparently remains a possibility.

Whether they ultimately decide to continue the family naming tradition will remain unknown until their baby arrives.

Tay Lautner Says Sharing the Pregnancy News Was a Relief

Taylor and Tay announced in March that they were expecting their first child.

For Tay, making the news public brought a major sense of relief.

Speaking about the announcement, she said she had been concerned that someone might reveal the news before she and Taylor were ready to share it themselves.

“I think I was just so stressed someone was going to leak it, honestly,” she said.

The concern was partly shaped by an experience from the couple’s wedding.

Tay explained that someone photographed the pair during an intimate first-look moment, and the images reportedly became public shortly after the wedding.

“That was the first time it was really something that was so intimate,” she said.

The experience appears to have influenced the couple’s approach to privacy as they enter a new chapter in their lives.

Taylor and Tay Are Expecting a Baby Girl

The couple revealed their baby’s gender in June and announced that they are expecting a daughter.

Since then, they have shared a few moments from their journey toward parenthood.

Earlier this month, the pair celebrated their upcoming arrival with a pink-themed baby shower.

Photos from the celebration showed Tay standing in a garden surrounded by flowers while wearing a dusty pink dress.

Taylor, best known for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight franchise, was seen embracing his wife’s baby bump.

“Our little girl is already so loved,” Tay wrote alongside the images.

The celebration marked another milestone for the couple as they prepare to become parents for the first time.

Tay Lautner Plans to Give Her Child More Privacy Online

While the couple has shared aspects of their pregnancy publicly, Tay has previously spoken about wanting to protect her future child’s privacy.

During an appearance on Matt and Abby Howard’s Unplanned podcast in June, she discussed her feelings about children being featured extensively on social media.

“The internet is, I’ve just learned, such a scary place to have kids,” she said.

Tay made it clear that her approach was a personal preference rather than a criticism of other parents who choose to share photos and videos of their children online.

“You know I have friends that share their kids all the time and I love seeing their kids on the internet,” she said.

However, she explained that she was leaning toward giving her own child more privacy.

“But for me personally I don’t think that’s what I want to do,” Tay said, while adding that she could change her mind in the future.

She described privacy as an important consideration when thinking about raising a child in the public eye.

A New Chapter for the Lautners

Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner married in 2022 and have continued to share selected parts of their life together with fans.

The upcoming arrival of their first child represents a major new chapter for the couple.

Their decision about the baby’s name has now become an unexpected topic of public interest, largely because both parents are already named Taylor.

For fans, the prospect of a family with three Taylors has created plenty of amusement.

For the couple, however, the decision appears to be a much more practical one.

Tay has acknowledged the pressure that comes with naming a child, especially when millions of people have opinions about the possibilities.

The pair will reportedly decide after their daughter is born.

Will Taylor Lautner’s Daughter Be Named Taylor?

For now, the answer remains unclear.

Tay has confirmed that the name is “in the mix,” but she has also revealed that the couple has several alternatives to consider.

Their previous joke about naming a hypothetical son Taylor and calling him TJ demonstrates that the shared-name situation has long been part of the couple’s conversations about parenthood.

Now, with a daughter on the way, the question has taken on a new dimension.

Will Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner welcome a third Taylor into their family?

Fans will have to wait until the couple welcomes their baby girl to find out.

Until then, the Lautners are focused on preparing for parenthood and enjoying the final stages of Tay’s pregnancy.

One thing is already clear: whether their daughter is named Taylor or something entirely different, the couple’s first child is arriving to a great deal of love and excitement.
