Khloe Kardashian Reveals Her Dislike Of Son’s Nickname
Do we sense a Kylie Jenner style name change?
Khloe Kardashian waited nearly a whole year to share her son’s name, confirming it to be Tatum Robert in May. But even with the long waiting period, it seems Khloe isn’t 100 per cent happy with the name…or well his nicknames.
While Koko is perfectly happy to call her little boy Tatum, her momager Kris Jenner has taken to calling her grandson by his middle name Robert.
Saying hello to the baby in The Kardashians, Kris began with “Hi, Rob, hi, my little pumpkin.”
Prompting Khloe to roll her eyes, with Kris correcting: “No, Tatum’s good.”
Before going with another nickname, saying: “We could call him Tate. Everybody’s gonna call him Tate.” Which Khloe also shut down.

As the mum-of-two told Kris: “No, never gonna happen.”
Which…err, is a little awkward as that’s the name used for the the reveal.
Khloe’s bestie Malika Haqq shared the baby’s name in Khlo-monies IG comment section last month. Writing: “Go Tate!” under a snap of the reality shar holding baby Tatum.

Khloe and her ex Tristan Thompson welcomed their son via surrogate last August.
In the recent season of the Kardashians, the new mum opened up about her experience with the surrogacy process, highlighting some of the challenges.
“I definitely buried my head in the sand during that pregnancy that I didn’t digest what was happening. So I think when I went to the hospital that was the first time it really registered. It has nothing to do with the baby.”
“I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and go to another room and you are separated.”
“It felt like such a transactional experience because it is not about him. I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. But it doesn’t mean it is bad or good. It is just very different,” she explained.
