One month after she welcomed her first baby via a surrogate with her husband Carter Reum, reality star Paris Hilton has now revealed the lovely name she's chosen for her baby boy!

Heiress Paris announced the couple have chosen the name Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum for their little boy, revealing the news to fans on her popular podcast This Is Paris.

Reading an excerpt from her hugely-antipcated new book Paris: The Memoir, the 42-year-old confirmed she's keen to name any other children she has after places across the world.

She said: "If all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy. We plan to name him Phoenix, a name I that decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries and states on a map, looking for something to go with Paris and London.

"Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more important it's the birth of flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again.

"I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives and that this should give us great hope for the future.

"Even when the past is painful and the present seems to have fallen to s--t, it's weird how two ideas that are so different, so completely opposite, can coexist like that. But they do. Freedom and suffering, joy and sorrow, love and loss. So his name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum."

Paris then revealed her son's middle name is after her beloved grandfather Barron Hilton. She added: 'And his middle name is Barron after my grandfather Barron Hilton, he was always my mentor and I looked up to my grandfather so much and we were so close and I miss him everyday so I really wanted to honour him by having his name in my first son's name.

"So there you go, my beautiful baby boy's name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum and Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world."
