Kieran Culkin apparently had many names in mind for his second child but when the time came to pick one, he and wife Jazz Charton were wracked with indecision.

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday, Culkin shared his 3-month-old sons name, Wilder Wolf, for the first time publicly. The actor went on to describe the reason he and Charton opted to torture themselves rather than settle on a moniker immediately after their sons birth.

My wife wanted Wolf. She was fighting hard for Wolf, the Succession star said. We found it in the hospital the day that he was born and we thought, Thats great, but instead of pulling the trigger on it, lets torture ourselves for about seven weeks, disagreeing with names before we came around to the name that we picked.

The process was further stalled, Culkin explained, once Charton was given the option to hold the baby in for an hour and a half while receiving antibiotic fluids while getting an epidural.

We just went over every name that we had thought of, he said, And we narrowed it down to two girl names that we really liked, and we agreed that it was going to be one of those two names if its a girl, and if its a boy, were screwed. And we had a boy and spent seven weeks arguing about names.

When DeGeneres suggested the couple had nine months prior to Wilder Wolfs birth to discuss names, Culkin quipped, That would take some organization and some planning not something that either of us do.

Culkin and Charton wed in 2013. The couple also share a daughter, 2-year-old Kinsey Sioux .

Elsewhere in the interview, Culkin recalled fulfilling his goal of hosting Saturday Night Live 30 years after his first appearance on the show earlier this month.

Describing the opportunity as one of the most amazing experiences of my career, the actor said he didnt have time to be nervous in spite of the hectic backstage atmosphere.

It was one of the most amazing experiences of my career, he said.
