AJ McLean‘s daughter is making her own way in the world, looking for a more “unique” name than the one she was given at birth.
In an Instagram story post on Wednesday, McLean’s wife, Rochelle Karidis, addresses the couple’s 9-year-old daughter and why she requested to have her name changed from “Ava” to “Elliot.”
“For those asking… not that it’s anyone’s business,” she begins, “but Elliot’s name change is not a gender thing. ‘Ava’ has changed her name quite a few times since she was about five. Last year she asked us to start calling her Elliot and it stuck. She wanted something unique that no one else had. (There are so many Ava’s.)”
Rochelle continues: “I didn’t really see the harm in respecting her desire to be unique. Come to think of it, it’s a little odd that as parents we choose names for people we haven’t even met yet and expect them to forever [identify] as that person! Anyway… so that’s how Ava became Elliot.”
Elliot’s mama then issues a call-for-kindness on behalf of her daughter.
“I knew once I put it out there people would have opinions, but be kind,” she says. “She’s just a kid trying to make her way in this crazy world! I just want her to know she can always be whoever she wants to be.”
Earlier that day, both Rochelle and AJ shared a classic back-to-school snapshot of their daughters, including Lyric, 5, each holding pink balloons to commemorate the new school year. One reads, “Elliot’s First Day of 4th Grade” and the other, “Lyric’s First Day of Kindergarten.” The sisters are all smiles in the shot.
“After two and a half years of homeschool, these two beauties are back to school!” the caption reads. “Lyric is starting kindergarten and Elliot (Ava) is in fourth grade! I can’t believe it! I’m so proud of

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent On July 26, the day the Venice lineup was announced, my 14-year-old daughter Emma started hounding me that I had to take her on the red carpet to see Timothée Chalamet. Eventually, I relented, even though I thought the movie, “Bones and All” — about two cannibals who fall in love — would be too gory for her. So we struck a compromise: We’d try to meet Chalamet (or “Timmy,” as he’s called) without going inside to see the film. So there we were — Emma; her friend Nina, 13; and me — on a balmy late afternoon in a small reserved spot for journalists behind the red carpet, opposite the fans, waiting for our A-list sighting. And for a while it was pretty boring. The girls spotted “Outer Banks” star Chase Stokes; YouTuber Emma Chamberlain; Simone Ashley, whom they known from “Bridgerton,” and Italy’s Luca Argentero who stars in the local medical procedural “Doc.” For me the most exciting thing was seeing Venice chief Alberto Barbera’s gorgeous newborn baby daughter Thea, brought out on the red carpet by a nanny to get her first taste of stratospheric stardust, just like Emma.
