How Pete Davidson's Baby Girl's Name Honors His Late Dad
Pete Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt welcomed their first child, daughter Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, on Dec. 12. The newborn's name pays a special tribute to Pete's father who died on 9/11.
There’s an extra special meaning behind the name of Pete Davidson’s daughter.
The Saturday Night Live alum and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt shared that they welcomed Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson on Dec. 12, with the newborn’s name paying tribute to Pete’s father.
Scottie is named after Scott Davidson, a New York City firefighter who died while responding to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001 when Pete was 7 years old.
Scott's passing had a huge impact on Pete, who has called his dad a "legend" and a "hero."
The baby girl’s name also includes a few other nods to her parents, as Rose is Elsie’s middle name. Plus, she was given both of her parents’ last names to keep their family legacies going.
Elsie who’d confirmed she and Pete were expecting a baby together in July posted several photos of Scottie to Instagram Dec. 18, covering her daughter's face with a white heart and writing that she and Pete had welcomed their “perfect angel girl.”
"My best work yet,” the 29-year-old added. “I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief."
She also included a cheeky message from Pete in her caption, which read, “Wu tang forever.”
