It was “the biggest fight me and my baby’s father have ever had,” said Kelly Osbourne.
In a recent episode of the “The Osbournes” podcasts Kelly Osbourne reported on a “huge argument” she had with her boyfriend, Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, over their son’s last name. The 15-month-old child is named Sidney George Wilson IV, named after the father. However, Osbourne doesn’t entirely agree with the name and has therefore already had heated discussions with her partner.
“I didn’t expect to ever talk about it.”
This disagreement is something she “can never, ever forgive” Wilson for, Kelly Osbourne explained in an interview with her parents Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. “OK, this is personal, and I didn’t expect to ever talk about it,” the 39-year-old began, continuing: “The biggest fight me and my baby’s father have ever had – and probably ever will will be – was the one about our son’s name.”
She had a clear idea of what her child should be called from the outset – but so did Wilson. “I wanted our son to have both of our last names and he wouldn’t let me. And we had a huge argument. I feel like I was forced into something I didn’t want to do,” Osbourne revealed, adding, “But we can move on.”
The last name should now actually be changed – Osbourne should also be added to Wilson with a hyphen. However, it was a long way to get there. “At the moment my son doesn’t have a double surname. But after many eye-opening conversations and couples therapy, he saw the light. And we will legally change our son’s name so that he has both of our last names,” reported the singer.

Kelly Osbourne: “Sid comes from a very traditional English family”
She also emphasized why the double name is so important to her and also noted where the origin of it lay in Wilson’s opinion: “We both created our child, so they should both have our last names. Not one is more important than the other. But it’s important to remember that Sid comes from a very traditional English family. This is a very outdated thing.” It used to be a tradition to take your father’s name – similarly in marriage.
At the end of the conversation, Osbourne addressed another inconsistency that arose from the original naming. According to her calculations, her son would not be the fourth person to take this name, but the third. She explained: “Because first it’s Sid’s father, then Sid and now our son. But Sid told me his grandfather had the same name. But he didn’t. His grandfather’s name was Fred. Fred! Then why is my son IV? My son should be III.”
