Khloe Kardashian has caused quite a stir on social media after revealing her baby boy's name...
Back in July 2022, the 38-year-old reality TV star and her former partner, Tristan Thompson, welcomed their second child via surrogacy.
However, the mother-of-two didn't reveal her son's first name until two months ago, during the first episode of the hit Hulu and Disney+ show, The Kardashians.
During the latest season, Kardashian casually dropped his name, telling viewers that she'd decided on Tatum as he joined older sister True Thompson, five.
Following the name revelation, Kardashian candidly spoke about how she struggled to "connect" with her surrogate-born son, stating: "I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby, and I take the baby, and then I go to another room and you're sorta separated. It's such a transactional experience."
"I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. It doesn't mean it's bad or good - it's still great, it's just very different," she added.
Normally celebrities give their children unusual names, however, when Kardashian announced that her son is called Tatum, many users took to Twitter to comment on how "normal" it is.
One person wrote: "Khloe naming the baby Tatum is so anticlimactic and normal lol."
Someone else said: " frankly feel kind of betrayed by Khloe for giving her baby a normal name. I was never on board with Tristan Jr. like everyone else but like… you're not Kourtney, do something interesting [sic]."
"So she wanted to wait that long to share the name Tatum.," a third user remarked, while a further user commented: "Khloe's named her son Tatum. It's the most normal name within all the kids."
According to TMZ, the Good American founder's son with the 32-year-old NBA star's initial last name was Kardashian before the couple changed it to Thompson. PEOPLE claimed that the newborn was listed as "Baby" on the birth certificate until the couple came up with Tatum.
As per California law, new parents can choose whether they'd like their child to have the father's last name, the mother's last name, or a combination of both. However, whatever they decide is permanent, which means that a court order would be needed to alter a last name, as cited by the outlet.
Although no specific explanations were given for the name swap, TMZ reports that it most likely had to do with the fact that the parents had been anticipating their baby boy when news broke that the NBA player had secretly fathered another baby with a woman named Maralee Nichols. This marked the third time he had allegedly been unfaithful to Kardashian.
Further reports stated that Thompson had kept secrets from his ex-girlfriend while they ventured on their surrogacy journey, with Kardashian revealing that he tried to speed up the process because he wanted the embryo to be transferred before she found out he'd cheated on her again.
