Kylie Jenner, known for her reality TV stardom and makeup empire, recently announced her son’s name on Instagram. Originally named Wolf, she revealed it’s now AIRE. However, this choice sparked controversy as fans pointed out its rude connotation in Arabic slang, meaning ‘my p**is’. Jenner’s romantic history, notably with rapper Travis Scott, and their daughter Stormi, adds to the public’s interest.
Jenner’s post garnered millions of likes, but some comments highlighted the name’s unintended meaning. Journalist Antoinette Lattouf raised the issue on social media, sparking a mix of reactions. While some criticize Jenner’s oversight, others defend her, arguing against the need for exhaustive name research.
The Urban Dictionary clarifies ‘Ayre’ can also mean ‘best friend’ in Arabic, but its dual meaning remains a topic of discussion. This incident underscores the challenges celebrities face in naming their children amidst global audiences.
