Jason and Kylie Kelce’s New German Shepherd Puppy Has Already Gone Through Four Names
The Kelce family’s newest addition has had more names than most dogs get in a lifetime — and the saga is giving fans some of the best podcast content in weeks.
Jason and Kylie Kelce recently adopted a German Shepherd puppy from the Pennsylvania SPCA, and the couple has been hilariously at odds over what to call her.
If you’ve been following along across both New Heights and Not Gonna Lie, you already know: this naming journey has been a whole ride.
From Bernadette to Matilda to … Broomhilda?
Kylie first introduced the puppy on the March 31 FAFO episode, announcing she planned to call her “Bernadette.” Simple enough, right? Wrong.
By the April 2 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Kylie said the dog’s name was “Matilda” — though she sounded unsure. She also revealed that “Broomhilda” had been a serious contender, courtesy of Jason himself.
“And I’m not saying that to be funny. Jason deadass thought we were going to name a dog Broomhilda,” she said at the time.
That quote alone is worth the listen. But Kylie wasn’t done. She used the moment to fire back at anyone who’s ever had opinions about how the couple named their four daughters.
“I want people to remember that the next time they come at me about how we named our four children, because do you see what I’m working with?” she joked.
Absolute hall-of-fame podcast moment.
Enter: Frida, Freddie and … Gunda
Fast forward to the April 8 episode of New Heights, the podcast Jason co-hosts with his brother Travis Kelce, and the name changed yet again.
“This is Frida, or as everyone is calling Freddie. Everyone is calling her Freddie around the house,” Jason said of the puppy.
He confirmed the dog’s name — for now — is Frida, with Freddie as the household nickname. But Jason, being Jason, couldn’t resist throwing another option into the mix.
“I’m calling her Gunda,” Jason joked in a German accent. “Gunda. Because I like that name better. ‘Gunda, Gunda, sit! Gunda, sit!’”
When Travis asked why he was talking in a different accent, Jason delivered the perfect deadpan response: “She’s German.”
The bit got an instant fact-check from the youngest Kelce critic. Wyatt, the couple’s 6-year-old daughter, made a brief appearance on the episode and set the record straight: “It’s not Gunda—it’s Freddie!”
So What’s the Final Name?
As of the latest New Heights episode, the puppy’s official name is Frida and her nickname is Freddie — but if Jason has his way, Gunda is still on the table.
Given this family’s track record, don’t be surprised if the name changes again by next week’s episode.
Between Jason’s committed German accent, Kylie’s “do you see what I’m working with” energy and Wyatt shutting the whole thing down, the Kelce puppy saga is the cross-platform content fans didn’t know they needed.
