Vogue Williams has revealed that there were several names she and Spencer Matthews nearly called their fourth child.
Vogue and Spencer welcomed their fourth child, a son named Remy, into the world last month. The couple already share Theo, Gigi and Otto, who were born in 2018, 2020 and 2022 respectively.
Speaking about her new arrival, Vogue spoke about how she landed on Remy — although it was questioned whether she named him after watching a certain Disney movie.
‘We liked the name Remy,’ Vogue said on Heart Radio. ‘I was using ChatGPT a lot and I was like, “I don’t want everyone to have the name.” But only old men in France are called Remy.’
‘Sure, or rats,’ her Heart Radio co-host Jamie Theakston joked. ‘It wasn’t from the Ratatouille film?’
Vogue insisted that the acclaimed Disney film wasn’t the inspiration for baby number four, but admitted that there were several other ‘out there’ names that ended up on the cutting room floor.
‘I wanted to call him Rocket at one point,’ Vogue laughed. ‘Not Rocky, Rocket.’
Other names Vogue put out there were Tiger, Bear and Fox, but admitted that her hormonal body might have had something to do with the *ahem* ‘different’ names.
‘Honestly, it must have been the hormones,’ Vogue joked. ‘Looking back, I’m like, “hmmm…”‘
Vogue and Spencer welcomed baby Remy into the world back in September, and revealed before giving birth that he was very nearly named Elvis — before they had a last minute change of mind after Spencer’s family’s reaction.
‘We have changed our baby name – we have no name. You know the name was pretty full on and I loved the name,’ Vogue said on her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me.
‘Spenny has been getting a few phone calls from family members regarding the name… I honestly thought though because it’s been on my mind I just, I haven’t ever been 100% comfortable with it.
‘But because as much as I love the name it’s such a big name to take on when you’re little or trying to get a job when you’re older.
‘I have got other very cool options, though that was my favourite name… We were going to call the baby Elvis, I love it.’
