Paris Hilton shared the meaningful reason she chose the middle name Marilyn for her daughter, London, five months after she and her husband, Carter Reum, welcomed their baby girl via surrogate.
“I wanted to honor my grandmother Marilyn [J. Hilton],” the “Cooking with Paris” star explained in Monday’s episode of her “I Am Paris” podcast on iHeart. “I think it’s such a beautiful name.”
Paris, 43, also noted that her son, Phoenix, got his middle name, Barron, from her late grandfather Barron Hilton.
“It was just an honor of both of them, and I love them so much,” she said, adding that she chose Marilyn as London’s middle name because she “love[s] Marilyn Monroe as well.”

Marilyn and Barron wed in 1947 and remained married until her death in 2004. He died in 2019. The couple had eight children, including Paris’ father, Rick Hilton.
The DJ reiterated how she had dreamed of having a daughter named after one of her “favorite cities in the world” ever since she was a little girl.
“I think it also sounds so cute together, Paris and London, and it’s just such a beautiful and unique name,” she continued.
The hotel heiress also discussed the significance of London’s birthday being Nov. 11.
“Obviously, as you all know, 11/11 is such an important date to me, [an] important time,” she began. “Carter and I were married on 11/11. My media company is named 11:11 Media. I make a wish every single day at 11:11. So for my daughter to be born on that date was just magical and so special.”
She added, “Perfect birthday for my little princess.”
Paris then expressed how she sees similarities between her daughter and her sister, Nicky Hilton.
“I can already tell that she is very serious and so sweet. She reminds me so much of my sister, Nicky,” she said. “When I look at my baby pictures, Phoenix is my twin and then little London looks like Nicky.”
Last week, the “Simple Life” alum shared photos of London’s face for the first time on social media.
