"Jen, digital creator @elevenadventures_ on Instagram, gave each of her young daughters Eleven as a middle name. But she chose the name based on her Nov. 11 anniversary date rather than the series. Drew and Dylan Kline of Bowling Green, Kentucky, recently gave birth to a 3-pound preemie in October at Cleveland Clinic Children's. They named the baby Sixx Carter Kline due to dad's love of Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx and a restaurant server named Sixx that they met on one of their first dates."
"Celebrities have also used numbers as names. For example, Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian Barker welcomed a baby in 2023 and named him Rocky Thirteen Barker. Is this a trend? Will Olivia and Liam soon be replaced by Five and Seventeen? TODAY.com chatted with baby name experts to get the scoop. Are Number Names a Trend? "Counting numbers" aren't generally used as names, says baby name expert Laura Wattenberg."
Netflix's Stranger Things features a character called Eleven, inspiring some parents to choose number names. Some parents have used Eleven as a middle name based on dates, while others named children Sixx due to musical or personal influences. Celebrities have given numeric-inspired names such as Rocky Thirteen. Baby name experts say counting-number names are not generally used; names like Sixx are seen as rock-and-roll stylistic choices. Parents more often use ordinal-derived names to denote birth order, such as Quintus for a fifth child, Ichiro meaning 'first son,' and nicknames like Trey or Trip for a third.
