Lottie Ryan revealed she was ‘a little freaked out’ when Kylie Jenner chose the same baby name as her for her son Wolf - admitting she wanted a unique moniker for her first born.
The RTE star welcomed her first baby, a son named Wolf, with her husband Fabio Aprile last June and told how she was besotted with the new arrival and his distinct name.
However, when cosmetics mogul, Kylie, went on to name her son Wolf too last month, before going on to announce she has decided to change it again this week, the name has been trending worldwide.
Asked if she was delighted or miffed when she first heard that the high profile star chose the same name, 2fm entertainment reporter Lottie admitted: “A little bit of both. My sister sent it to me. And my reaction was like, what are the bloody chances? I mean, come on what are the chances?
Speaking to Irish Mirror, she went on to joke, “She obviously has very good taste,” before adding, “But I'd be lying if I didn't say I was very relieved that I got there eight months before.
“Because let's be honest, if she had gotten there before me, I probably would have been putting up with people saying to me, ‘ah you copied Kylie Jenner’.
“I was a little bit freaked out initially. And because I obviously love the fact that it's a very unique name.
“And you know, now somebody very famous has used it.
“But she's got great taste in names,” she added laughing, as she spoke as part of One4All Mother's Day campaign to celebrate her first year as a mother, and the leading ladies in her life.
Lottie has previously said that she had always planned to name her child Wolf, whether it was a boy or a girl.
She went on to explain the sentimental reasons behind the unusual choice, adding: ‘I just love the name Wolf. There were a few different ways that the name came to me. My mum loved the name. It was between Rex and Wolf [for my brother] at one stage. They went with Rex, because Rex Ryan was a really strong name.
“Then our boss, Dan Healy, told me a story when I was pregnant, as at one of my appointments I was referred to as a geriatric mother. I was kind of taken aback by this comment. But he told me a story about Meryl Streep, who was also a geriatric mother, and she has a son called Wolf.
“I thought “that is a bloody cool name”. Nobody’s going to mess with him, nobody in the class with the same name, and he looks like a wolf. He came out covered in hair from head to toe. He was a furry, furry boy, so I thought the name just suited him perfectly.”

And it seems it is unique to her, as Kylie announced that she is changing her baby's name after deciding that it doesn’t suit him as much as she thought when he was born.
"FYI our son's name isn't Wolf anymore," Kylie wrote on Instagram, referencing her second child with partner Travis Scott.
"We just really didn't feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere.”
Her announcement came just hours after Kylie premiered a new YouTube video dedicated to her newborn, titled To Our Son.
The new mother of two did not announce her baby's new name.
