Chiefs fans share precious metal name ideas for Patrick & Brittany Mahomes’ girl
Before they were married, Patrick Mahomes gave then-girlfriend Brittany a special Valentine’s Day gift in 2016: a dog.
Brittany named the pup Steel after her favorite football team at the time: the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The couple later added another dog, who was named Silver. When Brittany gave birth to a daughter in 2021, she was named Sterling. And when Patrick Lavon Mahomes III was born in November 2022, he was nicknamed Bronze.
You don’t need a 153 IQ* to see the common thread in those names, right?
*As far as you know, dear reader, that’s my IQ
So with the Mahomeses revealing they will be having another girl, fans have wondered if they will continue with the precious metals names and if so, what that name could be.
One fan suggested a nod to Brittany Mahomes’ friend, a certain superstar singer, while also using a precious metal.
Here are seven possibilities.
Goldie: This one is self-explanatory
Ruthenium: According to the BullionByPost website, ruthenium is a platinum group metal that is used in alloys to improve durability and resistance to corrosion. Ruth or Ruthie would make a nice name
Mercury: This is a metal, although it is liquid at room temperature
Nickel: This one is a familiar, too
Platinum: The Royals Society of Chemistry noted “the name is derived from the Spanish ‘platina,’ meaning little silver”
Magnesium: This could be shortened to Maggie
Aluminum: Could be shortened to Lumi or Minnie
Here are some other suggestions for Mr. and Mrs. Mahomes that fans have made on X.
