All we care about is 'Teen Mom' baby names, tbh
Part of the joy of welcoming new babies into the world is picking the names. It has to be perfect, and with all the Teen Mom baby news that’s been breaking lately, fans have become curious about where the Teen Mom kids’ names have come from. Well, we’ve got the scoop on one of the newest additions to the Teen Mom brood — Chelsea and Cole DeBoer’s newest bundle of joy, Watson.

It’s safe to say that Teen Mom 2 fans have baby name fever! With Jenelle Evans and Chelsea (Houska) DeBoer giving birth in January and Kailyn Lowry announcing her third pregnancy with a mystery man, baby names have been on the brain.

Over the past few months, fans have delighted in learning the stories behind the names the Teen Moms pick for their kids—and the secrets that have (maybe) come out because of them...
I’m looking at you, Kailyn Lowry!

Who could forget the most satisfying fruit of fans’ baby name obsession... when a livestream on Instagram led to Kail potentially slipping up and dropping the name of the baby daddy she’s determined to keep secret? Yeah, that was a good time.

Then, of course, there’s Jenelle Evans and David Eason’s little girl, Ensley, whose name we knew from the start. Just because we knew what it was, though, doesn’t mean we understood why the couple chose the name.

That is until they spoke on the MTV Movie Awards' red carpet in August, explaining that that they’d found "Ensley"— which means "one’s own meadow" and is derived from an old English surname— on a list of unique names for baby girls and fell in love with it!

However, Chelsea and Cole kept their son’s name a bit more under wraps leading up to his birth. Of course, there were rumors that the couple had let Baby DeBoer’s name slip before the big day. Regardless, fans were surprised to find out that they had a little Watson Cole on their hands!
Why Watson?

Fans immediately wondered why the couple landed on such an unusual first name, but we only recently got an answer—and honestly, it’s not all too exciting.
While Chelsea let her fans on Twitter know that Watson turned out to be a family name (her great-grandfather’s middle name was Watson), the parents didn’t know until after they’d decided on it.
Well... that's that.

In reply to a fan on Twitter asking why they’d picked the name, Chelsea had a simple response. "Because we liked it…..?" she tweeted to the fan. Well, that’s that. Not a lot of mystery there.
Apparently, much like their co-stars Jenelle and David, Chelsea and Cole just went with a name that they liked a lot—no deeper meaning there. The more you know, I guess!
Come on, Kail!

Now we just have to wait for Kail to announce her baby’s name—which likely won’t happen until the birth, since she’s waiting until then to find out the sex of the child. What are we going to do without more baby naming news in the meantime? Something tells me that we’ll manage!
