Watch: Kylie Jenner Reveals She Almost Had This "K" Name

Can you imagine keeping up with Kennedy Jenner?

Kylie Jenner recently shared that her parents, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner almost gave her a very different "K" name, noting the name Kennedy was among the top contenders. The makeup mogul shared this revelation in a video shared to TikTok on Aug. 17.

"My name is Kylie," she wrote in the clip alongside a series of photos of herself and a video of her hanging out with her 4-year-old daughter Stormi Webster, "but it was almost..Kennedy."

But as the 25-year-old noted, this moniker just "doesn't hit the same."

In fact, Kris has previously suggested that she and Caitlyn went through a whole list of names for their youngest daughter. After Kim Kardashian revealed on the season 17 finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that Kendall Jenner was almost called Juliet, she asked the momager how she and Caitlyn then chose Kylie.

"We just kept saying, 'Kendall and Sophia,' 'Kendall and Jane,' you know trying to think what went with Kendall," Kris replied. "It was 'Kendall and, you know, Kelly.' When we got to Kendall and Kylie, we went, 'That's it.' Kendall and Kylie had to go together."

Meet Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott's Son Aire

While fans now know the name Kylie nearly went by, there are still a few names in the famous family that followers are waiting to learn, including the name of the reality star's baby boy. Kylie welcomed her second child with Travis Scott in February. And while they originally called him Wolf, Kylie revealed in March that their son's name "isn't Wolf anymore," adding they "just really didn't feel like it was him." Almost five months later, the baby's new name still remains a mystery.

"We just haven't fully legally changed it or anything, so I don't wanna announce a new name and then change it again," Kylie told Extra in April. "We're just not ready to share a new name yet."

Another name that has yet to be revealed? The one Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson picked for their baby boy. On Aug. 5, her rep confirmed to E! News that the Good American founder and the basketball player welcomed a son via surrogate (the exes also share 4-year-old daughter True Thompson). 

And while followers are eager to find out these answers, Kim has previously noted that choosing a name isn't always easy.  

"It's such a really big decision, honestly. It's the hardest thing ever in life, is to name a child," the creator of SKIMS—who shares kids North, 9; Saint, 6; Chicago, 4; and Psalm West, 3, with her ex Kanye West—said on an April episode of LIVE With Kelly and Ryan. "I personally, when I had my kids, I didn't name them until they were born. You really want to see what they look like. And always when I would hear people do that, I would say, 'How do you not be prepared for that? You have nine months to think about this.' But no matter what, it's just the hardest decision ever."
