Machine Gun Kelly Unveils Daughter’s Mythic Name
It’s almost quaint how naming a baby used to involve cute animal themes, before we fast-forwarded to “Saga Blade.” In a dry confession on NBC’s Today show, Machine Gun Kelly explained that “Saga” isn’t just a dramatic flourish—it’s a nod to the roller-coaster of five years of miscarriages that Megan Fox endured. According to TMZ and People magazine, he said the moniker encapsulates “emotional ride over disappearing, returning, and surviving it all.” It’s only fair, given the couple’s penchant for grand gestures, that their daughter’s name reads like a Viking epic.
Kelly dropped the Nordic reference like it was an album track, revealing that the name also honors the Norse goddess Saga, the patron of storytelling. He quipped that if she grows up to narrate the family’s next reality meltdown, at least her name will be on brand. E! News confirms the subtle flex: this is Fox and MGK staking their claim on mythology and shock value in a single sentence.
Megan Fox, who welcomed Saga Blade Fox-Baker as her fourth child and first with Kelly, has quietly rebounded after last year’s Thanksgiving fallout. Radar Online previously reported rumors of tension, but today’s co-parenting snapshot seems more “peace treaty” than prison riot. One could argue that if naming your child a two-word LARP weapon doesn’t heal rifts, nothing will.
MGK’s Today admission came a day after US Weekly published his full quote: “I wanted her name to feel eternal… like she’s destined to tell all our embarrassing stories.” If that isn’t foreshadowing a future memoir, we don’t know what is. Meanwhile, Fox has been spotted pushing a stroller alongside Kelly in L.A., a duet that feels less like “Rebel Way” and more like a sitcom titled “Blended Chaos.”
While critics might scoff at the idea of inflicting a high-concept name on a toddler, that’s apparently the point. If you’re going to have a celebrity kid, you might as well give them something that doubles as a screenplay title. People magazine notes that Fox’s previous miscarriages only deepened the couple’s desire for a name heavy on symbolism.
Saga Blade Fox-Baker now officially enters the world with an origin story worthy of comic books. And for those of us who think this is all a bit theatrical, remember: we’re starring in this circus too. Tune in next time when the same couple inevitably reveals why their next pet goldfish needs a three-part trilogy for a name. In the meantime, humanity at its finest marches on.
