Kaitlyn Bristowe opens up about the criticism she’s received over Jason Tartick’s choice of baby name, Atticus James Tartick, and why she stands by her husband’s decision.
Kaitlyn Bristowe, the former Bachelorette and current co-host of The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, has been making headlines recently for her reaction to her ex-fiancé Jason Tartick’s choice of baby name.
The couple welcomed their first child together in December 2022, and fans were excited to meet the new addition to the family.
In a recent interview, Kaitlyn Bristowe opened up about the criticism she’s received regarding Jason’s decision to name their son ‘Atticus James Tartick’.
According to Kaitlyn, the name choice has been a topic of discussion among their friends and family, with some people expressing surprise or even disapproval.
‘I think it’s funny,’ Kaitlyn said. ‘I mean, I love Atticus, but it’s definitely not my first choice. But at the end of the day, it’s his kid, and he gets to decide what he wants.’
Kaitlyn also acknowledged that she’s had to get used to being called ‘Auntie’ by her friends and family, a nod to Jason’s decision to give their son a more unconventional name.

The Psychology Behind Unconventional Baby Names
While some people may view Jason’s choice of baby name as unusual or even quirky, there are likely psychological factors at play. Research has shown that parents often choose names based on personal significance, cultural heritage, and family traditions.
In the case of ‘Atticus James Tartick’ , it’s possible that Jason was drawn to the classic, timeless feel of the name, combined with his own personal connection to the character from Harper Lee’s novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Jason is committed to giving his son a unique and special name.
Kaitlyn Bristowe Stands by Her Husband’s Choice
Despite the criticism she’s received, Kaitlyn Bristowe remains supportive of Jason’s decision. In fact, she’s been vocal about the importance of embracing individuality and self-expression in parenting.
‘I think it’s really important for parents to find names that feel special to them,’ Kaitlyn said. ‘It’s not just about what other people think; it’s about what feels right for your family.’
Ultimately, whether or not one likes Jason’s choice of baby name is a matter of personal opinion. But as Kaitlyn Bristowe so eloquently put it, ‘it’s his kid, and he gets to decide what he wants.’
