Brittany MahomesandPatrick Mahomeshave kept up their elemental naming tradition with theJan. 12 birth of their newborn daughter.

Brittany has spoken openly about how the pair chose their kids' names in the past. In May 2023, she revealed during anInstagram Story Q&Athat the themed naming idea originally stemmed from one of her beloved dogs.

Theirdogs, Steel and Silver, also follow this naming system.

“I got Steel in college and named him that,” she explained, referring to her older dog. “We then got our second dog and was gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect. Then I said no, I want that to be my daughter’s name, so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.”

“Then having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect,” she added.

At a press conference in November 2022, Patrick also shared that his brother,Jackson Mahomes, was the one to suggest Bronze as his nickname.

“My brother Jackson, whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, ‘What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling,’ " Patrick told reporters in November 2022, perTMZ. “So, we went with that.”

“It works out well,” he added. “He can have his own thing now where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. And, Sterling and Bronze can have that connection moving forward.”
