Pete Davidson Won’t Follow This 'Weird Hollywood' Rule For Him & Elsie Hewitt’s First Child

With a baby on the way, Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt have names in mind, and they are steering clear of celebrity trends.

The "Bupkis" actor has hinted at the kind of moniker he wants for his child, favoring a classic, old-school style over the Hollywood pattern.

Hewitt first shared the pregnancy news in July with a playful Instagram post. The announcement came just months after the couple confirmed their relationship, after quietly dating and eventually moving in together.

Pete Davidson Hints At First Child's Name With Elsie Hewitt

In a recent interview, the "Saturday Night Live" alum opened up about preparing for parenthood alongside the model. Davidson revealed that while they are thrilled to meet their bundle of joy, they've been weighing name options.

"For a while, we were like, should we do that weird Hollywood thing where it's like a color or something? And then I think we're more into the Staten Island normal," the comedian told People Magazine.

He continued with a list, "Mikey, Johnny, Tommy, Mark, or Amy, Bridget, Maggie, sort of route, because that's missing, I miss that. Remember when you were growing up, you knew like seven Franks?"

However, Davidson noted that they might add a twist. "We were thinking the middle name could be a little fun," Davidson added. 

Pete Davidson Voiced Concerns Over Elsie Hewitt's Pregnancy

While Davidson eagerly anticipates fatherhood, he has been candid about the emotional weight surrounding the pregnancy.

Shortly after Hewitt announced the news months ago, the comedian admitted he felt bad about the attention she would inevitably face.

As The Blast reported, the 32-year-old explained that constant media scrutiny of their relationship makes him worry about the pressure it places on her. "I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of sh-t. Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing," he confessed.

Davidson emphasized that Hewitt is a private person who deserves a peaceful, ordinary pregnancy, but fame has made that impossible.

"I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy," Davidson admitted.

In sharing his worries, Davidson has also expressed joy over the journey ahead. He revealed that becoming a father has always been his lifelong "dream" and is now embracing it fully, drawing inspiration from close friends.

He praised Machine Gun Kelly as "the best dad ever," admiring how the musician balances his career while being present for his daughters, Casie and Saga. Davidson shared that Kelly reassured him parenting would become his "favorite thing," and it has brought him comfort.

Reflecting on his own life, Davidson admitted he now sees his career as "just a job" and believes true happiness will come from having someone to dedicate himself to.

As Davidson and Hewitt prepare to welcome their little one, their relationship is said to have experienced tension, with one source describing the situation as serious.

Per The Blast, one insider disclosed that the couple has been "fighting a lot" and even resorted to secretly "recording each other."

However, another source has pushed back on the claim, saying the clash is from them working their way around being parents. 

"There are a lot of pressures around first-time parents, and people react differently at any given moment," the source said. "These two have been through a lot, and hopefully, folks can let them find their way and enjoy this special time in peace."

The 'Dog Man' Actor Allegedly In Financial Jeopardy Ahead Of Baby Arrival 

Aside from the relationship strain, Davidson is also said to be dealing with financial challenges. In August, The Blast reported that sources claimed he is less liquid than before and struggling to sell out his $1.2 million Staten Island condo.

The two-bedroom, three-bathroom property purchased in 2020 was first listed in 2022 for $1.3 million but drew no offers. Even after price cuts, Davidson couldn't sell it, forcing him to relist it at $1.07 million, prepared to take a loss.

Adding to this, the actor's money is said to be tied up in real estate, including his part-ownership of a decommissioned Staten Island ferry.

Months after these claims, Davidson performed in Saudi Arabia, a move that sparked backlash given his father's death in the 9/11 attacks. According to The Blast, Davidson soon defended his decision, dismissing speculation that entertainers are swayed by "Middle Eastern Money."

For Davidson, it's about practicality as he reviews the logistics, considers the offer, and accepts the job if it makes sense.
