Chrissy Tiegen and John Legend’s baby name has been a big topic of discussion among fans and media outlets as many have tried to guess the baby’s name but have been unsuccessful. But, according to Today , there’s one person who knew about the baby name choices the couple had in mind.

During an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last month, Chirssy Tiegen revealed she’d asked President Obama about baby name choices she and John Legend were thinking about and apparently, he approved. “I asked Barack — we’re, like, very first name basis,” Chrissy Teigen revealed. “I asked President Obama if he liked one of our name choices, and he said he did. But then I realized, I should have come up with two so he could pick one, because, you know, you’ve got to be nice about it if you give someone a name.”
