Although Travis, 48, previously revealed the inspiration behind their baby’s name, fans recalled a surprising connection they have to the moniker.

One social media user pointed out in an online message board that Kim, 43, had a pet boxer named Rocky.

They mentioned the dog appeared on an episode of the family’s former E! reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, making viewers question if Kourtney, 44, ripped off the name from Kim.

“Omg did she steal her pet name lol,” another fan commented in the thread.

“Makes me sad for Rocky (the dog), though lol. I can remember all of the pets that I’ve had. You would think that if they announced the name, Kim would have said something like, ‘that was my dog’s name.’

“I guess she forgot too? I think that was her and Reggie’s dog,” someone else replied, mentioning Kim’s ex-boyfriend, NFL star Reggie Bush.

However, others defended Kourtney’s name selection and believed it had nothing to do with Kim’s former canine.

“They all probably completely forgot about that! I can’t imagine Kourtney remembering a dog from years ago,” one person said.

“The pet wasn’t a family dog. It’s not like something Kourt grew up with. It’s also not like any of them care about animals,” a second added.

NAME REVEAL

Just days before Kourtney gave birth, Travis revealed what they were naming their son on Toby Morse’s podcast, One Life One Chance.

“There was a benefit in Hawaii that we were gonna do, but it’s the week that Rocky’s due,” the Blink-182 drummer said.

“Rocky Thirteen Barker?” Toby asked.

“Rocky Thirteen Barker!” Travis confirmed.

The musician first hinted at the name in July while appearing on Goat Talk with Complex with his daughter, Alabama, 18.

They listed numerous baby names they liked, with Travis landing on the unique moniker Rocky Thirteen.

“I like Rocky 13. That’s this name that’s just been going through my head lately,” he explained.

Alabama shot the idea down, but her father explained why he liked it the best.

“Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies, and 13 is just the greatest number of all time,” the rocker said.

LIFE AFTER BABY

Kourtney and Travis have kept a low profile since welcoming their son, although they enjoyed a date night at the Kar-Jenner family’s annual Christmas Eve bash.

They also gave their followers a first glimpse at Rocky in photos on Instagram but hid the newborn’s face from the camera.

Kourtney is also a mother to sons Mason, 14, Reign, nine, and a daughter, Penelope, 11, with her ex, Scott Disick, 40.

Travis shares Alabama, a son, Landon, 20, and a stepdaughter, Atiana de la Hoya, 24, with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, 48.
