Why Did Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian Name Their Son Rocky Thirteen Barker?
Rocky Thirteen might sound like a strange combo, but the story behind it is actually pretty cool. According to Barker, the name “Rocky” has a lot of personal meaning for him. Here’s how he explained it:
Rocky: Barker revealed during an episode of Complex‘s “GOAT Talk” video series that this name is a nod to Rocky George, who was the guitarist for the punk band Suicidal Tendencies.
Barker has talked before about how much he admires Rocky George and his music. So, naming his son after him is a way for the musician to show respect for one of his musical heroes.
But that’s not all—Barker also really loves the Rocky boxing movies, especially the 1976 classic starring Sylvester Stallone. He’s called it the “greatest boxing movie of all time,” so it makes sense that he’d want to name his son after it.
Thirteen: The Blink-182 star said that the number 13 is his absolute favorite number. It’s kind of his lucky number, and he even has the numbers “1” and “3” tattooed on his elbow. So, it wasn’t just about picking a random middle name—13 has personal significance for Barker.
Together, “Rocky Thirteen” is a tribute to his personal interests in music, movies, and even his love for the number 13. The name carries a lot of meaning, and it’s clear that this baby boy was named with a lot of thought and creativity.
