Bucking the Kardashian-Jenner tradition, there has been no build up, intrigue or red herrings surrounding the name of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis' Barker's son.
The 44-year-old welcomed a baby boy - her first child with her Blink-182 drummer husband - earlier today, with reports confirming that he has been named Rocky Thirteen Barker. However, this has come as no surprise to fans of the POOSH founder and the heavily inked rocker.
Back in July, Travis and his daughter Alabama, 17, starred in an episode of Complex Magazine's GOAT Talk. They were given cue cards to prompt discussion about what is - in their opinion - the Greatest Of All Time in different categories.

Alabama - who Travis shares with his ex Shanna Moakler - jokingly replied reeling off a list of luxury watch brands saying: “Audemars, Milan, f---ing Patek." Travis then responded: "I like Rocky 13."

Laughing Alabama retorted: "That's so bad!" He then added: "That's this name that's just been going through my head lately," to which Alabama replied: "Even he knows it's bad." He then agreed: "It is, it is bad."
However, he did shed some light on the meaning of the name, and its punk roots. Travis explained: "Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies, and 13 is just the greatest number of all time." He also noted it's the title of the "greatest boxing movie of all time."
Alabama rolled her eyes, asking: "So you're going to name your kid Rocky 13?" to which Travis responded: "Possibly." He recently confirmed that would be his son's name when he appeared on the One Life One Chance podcast on October 30.
Travis explained that he was having to skip a benefit show that was scheduled in the same week that his son was due. The host then cheekily referred to the unborn chid as "Rocky Thirteen Barker", which Travis repeated before making a crude joke about how he expected the baby to make his entrance in to the world. He joked: "He’s going to come out of my wife’s vagina, like, doing front kicks and pushups."
There was more evidence to suggest the child's unique name between July and now. Eagle-eyed fans had already worked out that Travis' dream baby name had stuck from watching footage from the couple's Disney-themed baby-shower. One tech-savvy fan posted: "Zoomed in on one of the notes on the wish tree at the Barker shower and…..do you think they named the baby Rocky?"
