Read our privacy policy Kieran Culkin has revealed why it took him and his wife Jazz Charton seven weeks after the birth of their newborn son to decide on a name. “We found in the hospital the day that he was born and we thought: ‘That’s great but instead of pulling the trigger on it, let’s torture ourselves for about seven weeks disagreeing with names before we come around to the name that we picked,’” Culkin told DeGeneres of the seven-week holdup. And spent seven weeks arguing about names.” During the interview, Culkin noted, however, that his wife wanted “Wolf” and that she had been “fighting hard” for the name. As for why the couple hadn’t broached the topic of potential baby names prior to Charton going into labour, the actor told DeGeneres that that would have taken some “organisation and planning,” which he said is “not something that either of us do”.
