Exactly the same as her father.
Exactly the same as her mother.
That is where things become complicated.
Imagine Calling "Taylor!" at Home
If there were three Taylor Lautners in one household, everyday communication could become interesting.
"Taylor, dinner is ready."
Which Taylor?
"Taylor, can you come here?"
Which one?
"Taylor, where are your shoes?"
The possibilities are endless.
Fortunately, the family already has a solution for two of them.
Boy Tay.
Girl Tay.
If their daughter is also Taylor, the family could theoretically develop another nickname.
Baby Tay.
Little Tay.
Tay Junior.
Or perhaps something completely unrelated to her legal name.
Of course, the couple may simply choose another name and avoid the problem altogether.
That is why Tay's comments are important.
She did not say the baby will be named Taylor.
She said the name remains under consideration.
The final decision is still theirs.
The Internet Has Already Chosen
One of the funniest parts of the story is that fans appear to have become emotionally invested in the decision.
The couple's unusual names have been a running joke since their marriage.
When they announced their pregnancy, the phrase "two Taylor Lautners" became an immediate talking point.
Now that there could potentially be three, fans have turned the naming question into a miniature pop-culture event.
Some think the couple should fully embrace the coincidence.
Others argue that giving the baby another name would make everyday life easier.
Still others have suggested elaborate solutions involving nicknames and middle names.
The conversation illustrates how celebrity culture can turn an ordinary family decision into public entertainment.
For most parents, choosing a baby's name is deeply personal.
For the Lautners, millions of people are now watching from the sidelines.
Tay's joke about being "canceled" if they don't choose Taylor captures the absurdity of the situation.
Nobody actually has the authority to decide what the baby should be called.
But fans can certainly have fun pretending that they do.
The Couple's Relationship
The baby-name story also comes at an important moment in the Lautners' relationship.
Taylor and Tay have been together for several years.
They first met in 2018, became engaged in 2021 and married in 2022.
Their relationship developed after Taylor had stepped back somewhat from the intense public attention that followed his Twilight fame.
Taylor became internationally known for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight film franchise, which turned him into one of the biggest young stars of the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Tay, meanwhile, developed her own career and public identity.
She has worked as a registered nurse and has become known as a mental-health advocate, podcaster and founder of the Lemons Foundation.
Together, they co-host The Squeeze, a podcast focused on mental health and personal experiences.
Their public image has therefore evolved beyond Taylor's identity as a former teenage heartthrob.
They increasingly present themselves as a married couple building a life together.
The arrival of their first child marks another major chapter.
Tay's Experience With Public Attention
Pregnancy has also introduced a new kind of public attention for Tay.
In interviews, she has discussed the challenge of deciding what parts of her pregnancy and future motherhood to share.
The couple has been open about certain aspects of the experience while also considering the boundaries they want to establish around their child.
Tay has indicated that she is particularly interested in protecting her daughter's privacy and safety online.
That is an increasingly common concern for public figures who become parents.
Social media makes it possible for celebrities to share almost every moment of family life.
But it also means that photographs and personal information can circulate permanently and beyond the parents' control.
For Tay, motherhood therefore involves not only preparing for the birth but also deciding how much of her child's life should belong to the public.
That may ultimately influence how much fans learn about the baby after she arrives.
The Nursery Is Ready
The couple has already begun preparing for their daughter's arrival.
In September 2026, Taylor and Tay gave a look inside the nursery they designed for the baby.
The room was described as "girly, colorful, and peaceful," with floral patterns, butterflies and soft colors.
The couple worked with Pottery Barn Kids to create a space designed not only for the newborn stage but also to grow with their daughter.
The room includes a convertible crib, a glider chair and storage designed to remain useful as the child gets older.
The nursery offers another glimpse into how seriously the couple is approaching their transition into parenthood.
The name may still be undecided.
The room is not.
The baby already has a place waiting for her.
From Jacob Black to Dad
For fans who remember Taylor Lautner primarily as Jacob Black from Twilight, seeing him prepare for fatherhood represents a major generational shift.
The actor rose to international fame playing the muscular werewolf who became one of the central figures in the Twilight love triangle.
The role made him a household name while he was still very young.
More than a decade later, his life looks very different.
He is married.
He and Tay have built a life together.
They host a podcast.
They work on mental-health advocacy.
And now they are preparing to become parents.
The baby announcement therefore represents more than another celebrity pregnancy.
It is another chapter in the evolution of a star who became famous as a teenager and is now entering a completely different stage of adulthood.
Why Fans Are So Invested in the Name
Celebrity baby names have always attracted attention.
Some celebrities choose traditional names.
