“But at the same time, whatever reasoning it is, that’s hers, and I’m going to support it a million percent, my wife will [too],” he added.
AJ went on to explain that Elliott came to him over a year ago to talk to him about changing her name.
“‘Dad, I just feel like my name is not that unique and not that original, and there’s a lot of Avas at dance and a lot of Avas at school,’” AJ recalled Elliott saying to him.
As for where she got the inspiration behind the new name, AJ shared, “She just finished watching Pete’s Dragon, and she loved the name Elliot, but with two Ts. Now it just rolls off the tongue. Now she’s Elliott.”
He added, “Whatever journey both my girls have, I will be in their corner a million percent, my wife will be in their corner and support them, whatever their path is and whatever their journey is. That’s just the family that we are.”
Along with Elliott, AJ and Rochelle are also parents to five-year-old daughter Lyric.
