Before there was Golden, there was nearly Elsa Mahomes.
Prior to giving birth to her and husband Patrick Mahomes’ second daughter on Sunday, January 12, Brittany Mahomes, told Today, “My daughter wants me to name her Elsa. She was set on it for a while, but obviously we’re not doing that!”
The couple settled on Golden Raye, who joined sister Sterling, 3, and brother Bronze, 2.
“We went back and forth [on the name] for a while,” Brittany added at the time. “But the one we settled on, we really, really love.”
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, have kept up with a theme when it comes to baby names. After getting engaged in September 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. Patrick and Brittany welcomed daughter Sterling Skye in February 2021. The pair tied the knot in March […]
Brittany also shared son Bronze’s reaction to becoming a big brother, adding, “All he says is ‘I want baby sissy,’ and then he’ll ask to see my stomach. Although I’m not sure if it’s registered that an actual human is coming. And Sterling is completely obsessed. She loves to play with babies.”

While reflecting on her exhausting pregnancy, Brittany praised Patrick, 29, for being the “most supportive husband in the world.”
“If I’m complaining or I’m in a bad mood, he gets it. He’s not gonna argue with me,” she noted. “He’s not gonna push my buttons. He knows.”
Patrick and Brittany started dating as teenagers in high school, and they stayed together throughout Patrick’s rise to NFL stardom after he was drafted to the Chiefs in 2017. Patrick and Brittany got engaged in 2020 after eight years together. They exchanged vows in March 2022.
Prior to welcoming Golden, Patrick and Brittany have discussed the origins of daughter Sterling and son Bronze’s name.
“My brother Jackson [Mahomes], whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, ‘What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling,’” Patrick said during a press conference in November 2022. “So, we went with that. It works out well. He can have his own thing now where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. And, Sterling and Bronze can have that connection moving forward.”
As for Sterling, Brittany discussed the special connection, sharing on Instagram Story in April 2023. “I got [our dog] Steel in college and named him that. We then got our second dog and was gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect.”
Brittany continued: “Then I said no, I want that to be my daughter’s name, so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.”
