Khloé Kardashian had a hard time settling on a name for her second child, and now we're learning more about what was going on behind the scenes during that time. Apparently, her little one was first named Baby Kardashian until she filed paperwork to give him his dad's last name instead.

When Tatum was first born, Khloé hadn't decided on a name
Later, Khloé filed to change his name
Now her baby boy is Tatum Thompson — what we know him as — and this might explain why it took her so long to reveal the name she'd picked to the public. Maybe (like younger sister Kylie Jenner), it took a bit longer for her to settle on the perfect one and she didn't want to share it so publicly and widely until she was 100% sure.

She originally struggled with bonding with Tatum, but it's gotten better lately
As Khloé shared on her Hulu series, it's been hard bonding with Tatum, who was carried by a gestational surrogate, in the same way she was able to bond with True, whom she carried herself. But now things are finally getting easier for her.
"I wish I wasn't so critical of myself, because I'm very kind to everyone else, I'm just not very kind to myself. But being a mom is truly one of, just the most magical experiences ever," she said on the show.
Here's hoping things only continue to get better from here
Now that she's getting ready to celebrate Tatum's birthday party, we don't doubt that there's plenty of excitement buzzing around in her fam. This may not have been the way she imagined this time in her life would go, but hopefully she'll still be able to make the best of it.
