Paris Hilton revealed her baby’s name. The “golden” heiress and her husband, Carter Reum, didn’t want to keep us in… suspense any longer. Paris Hilton announced she became a surrogate mother last month. Thus, the couple gave the name Phoenix, Hellenistic Phoenix.

The Phoenix (from “phoinos” = purple, deep red) is a mythological bird, reborn from its ashes. As a name, it has grown in popularity in recent years, and it is impressive that it ranks in the top 200 names for boys in the United States. The phoenix is ​​a powerful symbol, which assimilates the power of man to be reborn from his difficulties and become even stronger.

In her podcast, Paris Hilton revealed that she named her child – in part – after her late grandfather Barron Hilton, as she described the meaning behind the name. She also read an excerpt from her upcoming book, Paris: The Memoir.

Paris also revealed her desire to give her future children names from different places, just like herself.

“If all goes well, by the time you’re reading this, Carter and I will have a baby boy,” she began. “We plan to call him Phoenix, a name I decided on years ago when I was looking up cities, countries and states on a map.

I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph come and go throughout our lives and that this should give us great hope for the future.

Even when the past is painful and the present seems ominous, it’s strange how two ideas that are so different, so completely opposite, can co-exist and work wonders. Freedom and pain, joy and sorrow, love and loss. His name, then, is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. And his middle name is Barron after my grandfather Barron Hilton, who has always been my mentor. I admired my grandfather so much and we were so close and I miss him everyday. So I really wanted to honor him by naming my son after him,” said Paris Hilton.

The “golden” heiress kept the news of her son’s arrival a secret, not only from the public, but also from her own family. “Not even my mother, my sister, my best friends, nobody knew,” she explained. “Because I feel like my life has been so public and I’ve never had anything that was really mine. Of course it was hard to keep it to ourselves because we were so excited and wanted to tell our families… No one knew until recently,” Paris Hilton said.

She added: “It’s the happiest moment of my life, being a mum and a wife and starting this new phase of my life. It is exciting”.
