Kendall Jenner Is Preparing to Break Kardashian Tradition — And It Involves Baby Names

Ryan Brennan | January 16, 2026

Kendall Jenner’s kids might be a thing of the future, but their baby names are already shortlisted. 

The 30-year-old model and reality TV star appeared on the Jan. 9 episode of Owen Theile’s “In Your Dreams” podcast when she was asked if she wanted kids — which she quickly said yes to.

Kendall was then asked if she already had baby names picked out for her future kids.

“I have a list,” she replied before confirming that her baby names won’t follow the traditional Kardashian aesthetic and won’t fit into the “nepo baby names” category like many of her sisters have done in the past.

“I’m so over that. Like I think that it’s kind of ridiculous — the whole name situation,” she said of the trend. 

For reference, here’s a look at all the baby names her siblings have chosen for their kids: 

  • Kourtney Kardashian: Mason, Penelope, Reign, Rocky
  • Kim Kardashian: North, Saint, Chicago, Psalm
  • Khloe Kardashian: True, Tatum
  • Rob Kardashian: Dream
  • Kylie Jenner: Stormi, Aire

Instead of going with super unique and rare baby names, Kendall said she’s more interested in a “good, normal name” — and preferably one that doesn’t start with a “K.”

“Joaquin Phoenix is an incredible name,” she explained. “It’s a unique name, but it’s not, like, ‘Doorbell.’”

“There’s so many good names. Brad Pitt is an incredible name. And it’s Brad. Like, that’s a normal name, but it’s an amazing name,” she added.

Kendall is no stranger to the pressure of being the only one in her family without a child. 

Aside from her mom, Kris Jenner, constantly trying to convince her to add to her list of grandkids, Kendall has been asked about her future as a mom extensively in interviews over the past decade. 

And that includes during a 2018 appearance on “The Ellen Show” with host Ellen DeGeneres.

“I have moments where I’m like, “Do I have baby fever? Like, do I want a baby right now?” Kendall said. “But I don’t. I shouldn’t say that, but I’m good. I can wait for a little while longer.” 

Kendall went on to say that she’s always around kids and loves that she gets to play with her nieces and nephews whenever she wants — without the responsibility of needing to care for them 24/7. 

More recently, in May 2024, Kendall opened up about her future in an interview with “Vogue.” 

"When I was young I used to say that by 27 I'd love to have kids," she shared at the time. "Now I'm past that and I feel like I'm still so young. I'm enjoying my kidless freedom."

Still, she’s holding on to her dream of one day entering her mom era.

"Relationships mean so much to me, and I can't wait to have a life with someone one day, to have kids, to create a family,” she added.
