Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce’s 5-month-old daughter, Finnley, already has a nickname: Finn. But, in her sister Elliotte’s eyes, another moniker reigns supreme.
“Finn’s nickname is ‘Pickle,’ because Ellie said she wanted to name Finn ‘Pickle,’” Kylie, 33, said of her 4-year-old on the Thursday, September 4, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “And then she was committed. Fully committed to the name ‘Pickle.’”
The topic came up in relation to a question about Kylie’s desire to get a “barn cat.” Although she hasn’t yet gotten the pet — which Taylor Swift has famously encouraged her future in-laws to invest in — she does think Pickles would be a great name for a feline friend.
“So, maybe, I’ll go to Ellie for this one,” she said of naming a future Kelce cat. “Maybe I’ll pretend [the girls are] naming a human and they’ll give me a better cat name. If I ask them for a name for a cat, they’re going to tell me ‘Sheila.’ I’d rather a cat named Pickles than a cat named Sheila.”

Jason, 37, hasn’t shared his thoughts on adding a cat to the family, but he did recently say that he would be open to having a fifth baby. (Kylie and Jason also share daughters Wyatt, 5, and Bennett “Bennie,” 2.)
“Listen, if a boy happened, that would be fun,” Jason told the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast on Tuesday, September 2. “But I think at the end of the day, I say what my dad [Ed Kelce] always said … we’re very blessed to have four healthy, smart, charismatic, amazing children and, like, I would not trade any of that for a second.”
He went on to say that Kylie “wanted five” kids, but they’re unsure whether or not they’re done.
“We’re at four now and I think we’ll see. That might be it,” Jason explained, adding that he would “definitely get” a vasectomy once they decide they’re done having kids.
The parents are currently going through a big milestone with their eldest daughter, Wyatt, who started kindergarten in September.
During the Thursday episode of her podcast, Kylie admitted that she’s been experiencing a mixture of emotions about the start of school.
“Officially a mom of a kindergartener. I’m still not sure I’m OK with that,” she said, adding, “You know what’s f—ed up? My baby is suddenly old enough to be a kindergartener. Oh my god. No. Oh, I don’t like calling her a baby and then saying she’s going to kindergarten.”
Kylie admitted that she’s “not feeling great about it,” but is trying to hold herself together.
“It makes me sad,” she stated. “I swear she just came out, so it’s kind of weird to send her to school, like, officially.”

At the time of the recording, Kylie had yet to bring Wyatt to her first day, but assumed that she would “cry driving home from drop off.”
“I can almost guarantee that,” she added.
She does, however, feel content about the big-girl leap since Wyatt is so excited to go to school and be with her friends. The 5-year-old even told her parents and grandparents that she’s “growing up on [them].”
“I’m so excited for her because she’s excited. But also, no,” Kylie quipped. “She’s excited to eat lunch at school, and I think she’s just excited to eat lunch with her friends. She’s such a little social butterfly. She loves being around kids her own age. She loves playing. She’s built for that. So I’ll just be over here, sad. It’s very, very sad.”
