Jason Aldean and wife Brittany are expecting the birth of their first son in late November/early December. While Jason and Brittany continue planning for their upcoming bundle of joy, the couple has already taken care of one very important detail: his name, which will be Memphis.
While the Tennessee city might seem like an unconventional moniker for a Georgia native to name his son, Jason revealed to Lon Helton on Westwood Oneâs Country Countdown USA that Elvis Presley, who moved to Memphis when he was 13 years old, helped inspire the name.
âIâve kinda been infatuated with Elvis since I was a kid, just always watching documentaries and stuff on him,â said Jason. âIt had a little bit to do with that and, honestly, I just wanted him to have something that wasnât very common. Iâm sure heâs gonna meet people with the name Memphisâhe wonât be the only one, but, you know, at least I think itâs unique enough where . . . it wonât be like Michael or John or, you know, Jason. And that was kinda what we were going for.
âHis middle name will be Aldine, because thatâs my middle name. I want to carry that name on. It was my grandfatherâs name. So itâs kind of a family name. So thatâs what weâre going with.â
