Has Jestina and Buddy Franklin’s baby name been leaked? Family friend appears to reveal their newborn son’s very unique name
Jesinta and Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin announced the arrival of their second child three weeks ago, but have yet to reveal his name.
But fans are convinced they’ve solved the mystery, after noticing a telling clue on Buddy’s Instagram page.
On March 24, Buddy uploaded a photo of himself posing with his newborn son, prompting a flurry of comments from fans begging to know his name.

However, one particular comment from Buddy’s friend, fashion director Justin O’Shea appeared to reveal the child’s name is Rocky.
Justin, who previously cast Buddy in a campaign for designer label DrizaBone, wrote ‘Rocky!’ alongside a series of clapping emojis and a black heart emoji.
The theory that Jesinta and Buddy’s newborn is named Rocky appears to be confirmed by an article from 7Sport about Buddy’s return to AFL in March.

Buried in the bottom of the article is a paragraph that reads: ‘[Buddy] was finally picked to play, with his return coming just days after wife Jesinta gave birth to their second child – a son named Rocky.’
However, neither Jesinta nor Buddy have provided any indication as to whether the report was correct.
The couple already share a one-year-old daughter named Tallulah.

In February, Jesinta admitted she was ‘nervous’ about having two children at home.
She shared a photo on Instagram of herself pushing a stroller, and wrote: ‘Pre-dinner waddle to the shops. Can’t believe we’ll be whipping out the double pram soon.
‘Would love any advice/tips from other mums with a one-year-old and newborn. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.’
