Tay Lautner has shared a light-hearted take on naming her expected daughter, suggesting that she might face backlash if she chooses anything other than ‘Taylor’. During a recent appearance on the podcast “Call Her Daddy,” the 29-year-old opened up about her pregnancy and the ongoing discussions she is having with her husband, actor Taylor Lautner. The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, are eagerly awaiting their first child.

In an exchange with podcast host Alex Cooper, Tay teased about the possibility of naming their baby girl Taylor. “It may be in the mix,” she said, though plans remain tentative. Tay revealed that she feels significant pressure surrounding the naming process, highlighting the support she has received from fans advocating for the name Taylor. “If I don’t name my baby Taylor, the Internet’s literally gonna cancel me,” she jested, suggesting that the expectations from fans may be weighing heavily on her.
The couple’s discussions about potential names are not limited to just Taylor. Tay noted that they had previously envisioned a scenario in which they welcomed a baby boy, to be named Taylor and affectionately called T.J. The final decision on the baby’s name will likely come just before the birth; Tay indicated that they are considering around three to five names overall.
It was in March when Tay first revealed her pregnancy news, confessing that the announcement felt like a “weight had been lifted” off her shoulders. She admitted to experiencing anxiety about potential leaks regarding their pregnancy. Reflecting on past experiences, she shared, “I think I was a little scarred from our wedding because our first look, someone photographed us having our first look. It came out the day after the wedding, and that was the first time it was really something that was so intimate.”
This past August, the Lautners celebrated their upcoming arrival with a themed baby shower, adorned in pink to honour their little girl. Tay took to Instagram to express her gratitude, thanking her friend Jaclyn Hill for planning the event. “Our little girl is already so loved 💞,” she wrote, making it clear that they are thrilled about the journey ahead.
Tay has also addressed her approach towards sharing her child’s life on social media. During her appearance on another podcast, “Unplanned,” she expressed concerns about the safety and implications of exposing her child to the online world. “The internet is, I’ve just learned, such a scary place to have kids,” she explained. While she appreciates seeing her friends post about their children, she is inclined to maintain a level of privacy for her own daughter.
The changing landscape of social media and parenting has made many celebrities reconsider how they share their family life with the public. Tay has not ruled out the possibility of altering her stance in the future but for now, her priority remains to protect her daughter’s privacy.
With a joyful spirit and anticipation building, Tay Lautner exemplifies the blend of excitement and caution that many new parents face in today’s social media landscape. As she continues to prepare for motherhood, fans and followers alike are keen to see how the Lautners navigate this new chapter while balancing fame and family life. As the arrival of their little girl draws nearer, the decision on her name may remain under wraps until the special moment has arrived.
