The hotel heiress revealed that because she had been contemplating infant names for a while. She stated that she planned to name her daughter London if she were to give birth to a daughter, keeping with the theme by naming her son after a separate location.
“I was thinking of a boy name,” Paris noted of her process. “Which I’ve been thinking of for so long because it is hard to think of a boy name that is on that theme. I really wanted to stay with the themes of either a city or a state or a country. Something about the world.”
Paris stated that she has always felt a connection to the name Phoenix. “Over a decade ago I thought of this amazing name,” she shared. “It’s such a beautiful name, it’s so unique. I love that it is not only a city but it also has other meanings that are just beautiful. I really believe that names have power and we wanted a name for our baby boy that was uniquely remarkable.”
The Simple Life alum honored her late grandpa, Barron Hilton, with her son’s middle name in addition to the name’s meaning.
“He was always my mentor and I looked up to my grandfather so much and we were so close and I miss him every day,” Paris recalled. “So, I really wanted to honour him by having his name in my first son’s name.”
Having been together for two years, Paris and Carter got married in November 2021. On January 24, 2023, they posted a message on Instagram announcing the arrival of their first child.
