Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt Explain Scottie’s Name and Hint at Growing Their Family

They say the moniker honors Davidson’s late firefighter father, with a subtle Scotland nod.

Overview

  • Davidson and Hewitt revealed that daughter Scottie Rose, born Dec. 12, was named both for his late father, Scott Matthew Davidson, and because she was conceived in Scotland.
  • Scottie’s middle name, Rose, continues a tradition on Hewitt’s side, as she and her sisters share the same middle name drawn from their mother’s maiden name.
  • In new interviews, the couple said they are already thinking about a second child and have discussed marriage, though they are focused on settling into a routine with their newborn.
  • Hewitt said the experience of birth was intense yet empowering and that she already wants to give Scottie a sibling.
  • Davidson said Eddie Murphy’s counsel that “the best advice is no advice” was the most useful tip he received, and he described how fatherhood has shifted his priorities.
