How did she prepare for motherhood?
The Hilton Hotel chain heir candidly spoke in her podcast about how she prepared for her motherhood. Her decision to film the YouTube documentary 'This is Paris' in 2020 aided her greatly in preparing for her role as a mother. After joking a bit about the probable names of the baby based on geographical locations like Ibiza and Vegas, Hilton says, she zeroed in on the name Phoenix. While reading a portion from her forthcoming memoir, she narrates, “If all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy. We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided on years ago when searching cities, countries, and states on a map.”
She continues to say, the process of writing her memoir This is Paris also helped her in preparing for the new role.
Significance of the unique name
The ‘Paris in Love’ star further continues to elaborate on her son’s unique name, “Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points”. “But more important, it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again. I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future”, which then culminates into her revealing her son’s full name, “My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.” Phoenix’s middle name is in remembrance of Hilton’s celebrated grandfather, the business mogul Barron Hilton as the new mother said, “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, so I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first son’s name.”
She said that she had been planning her “children’s names for years and years”. She also said that she is planning to name her future daughter London. In her podcast, talking about the significance of the name Phoenix, she says, Phoenix stands for “hope, rebirth, and transformation”.
