The couple’s fans quickly took to social media to express their excitement over the name, with many calling it “perfectly fitting” for the family’s vibrant and unique energy. Some even pointed out that the name Apollo, associated with both the Greek god of music and the famed space program, seemed like a beautiful blend of both their musical worlds.
In a world full of trendy names, Apollo stands out as a bold, timeless choice that reflects both Gwen and Blake’s personalities and their shared journey. And while fans are still in awe of the name’s meaning, they also can’t get enough of the emotional moment the couple shared as they welcomed their son into the world.
