Considering the global recognition of the Kardashian name, it’s no surprise that fans have been quick to comment on this change.
However, the recurring observation among her followers is that she couldn’t let go of the Kardashian name entirely.
While some speculated that she might have dropped it, others pointed out that retaining such an iconic surname makes perfect sense.
One fan expressed their opinion, saying, “She did not drop her last name. Because it won’t be so difficult when it’s over.”
Another suggested, “Can’t even give up the Kardashian name. Should have just been Kourtney Barker!”
Echoing these sentiments, a third fan concurred, “Should’ve just been Kourtney Barker.”
In addition to the name change, Kourtney and Travis have already made a decision regarding the moniker for their first child together.
The couple has been actively trying to conceive for over a year and a half, as documented on the reality show “The Kardashians.”
Their journey involved undergoing a challenging process of in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
However, last September, Kourtney shared that she had discontinued the treatment due to the unpleasant side effects, including a significant impact on her mental health, leading to depression.
She has been candid about the toll IVF took on her, even responding to fans who made comments about her weight gain resulting from the hormone treatments.
Kourtney is already a mother to three children—Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, eight—whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.
Travis also has two children, Landon, 19, and Alabama, 17, from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler.
The announcement of Kourtney’s pregnancy seemingly took place during a Blink-182 concert, where she shared the news with Travis.
Since then, the couple has shared a series of pictures on Instagram, teasing that they already know the baby’s name, with playful suggestions from fans that it might be related to Travis’s profession as a drummer.
Kourtney Kardashian’s name change signifies a symbolic step in her relationship with Travis Barker, and her decision to retain the Kardashian surname reflects the recognition and influence associated with the iconic name.
Fans eagerly await further updates and revelations as the couple embarks on this new chapter together.
