Idea Behind The Given Name
The name Paris claimed she would keep if she ever had a daughter was simple; London because it’s her favorite city, Marilyn after her grandmother, and the last two as her parent’s surnames.
Naming The Boy After A City, Too

Ellen’s Coincidence Turning Into A Real Psychic Moment!

But Was The Name Influenced By Ellen’s Guess?
In July 2021, Paris Hilton announced that she had named her son “Carter” in honor of her family’s surname. It’s unclear whether Paris had already decided on the name at the time of Ellen’s guesses or whether they influenced her in any way.
Why Phoenix?
Paris — also named after a city — wanted the same for her kids. She named her baby boy after Phoenix because of its meaning: the birth of flames, rise from the ashes to fly again.
Name With A Powerful Message
This would serve as a message to her son that no matter how big a disaster is, it goes and comes around, but there’s always a better future. The middle name belongs to Pari’s mentor, her grandfather. She considered naming her son after her grandfather an honor because she has grown up looking up to her grandfather.
Years Back Planning
As per Paris’s latest announcement, she claimed that she had decided to name her baby boy Pheonix years back when she was looking for different cities, countries, and states on a map.
But Did The Name Have Anything To Do With Ellen’s Prediction?
So no, she didn’t take Ellen’s hint as a suggestion — it was all pre-planned. In fact, it had nothing to do with anyone close to her either. Paris claimed on her recent podcast that no one, not even her mother or siblings, knew about this baby coming. She revealed this big news to them a week after Phoenix’s birth.
Final Take
Well, whatever the reason might be, we wish Paris and her family a HUGE congratulations on the birth of a baby son.
