Goldie Hawn Changed Kate Hudson's Name While in Labor!

Kate Hudson was almost named Rebecca!

Her mom Goldie Hawn revealed the story of how her name changed from Rebecca to Kate.

The story happened when Goldie was in labor with Kate in 1979.

“She kicked me so hard in my vagina that I changed her name right on the spot because she was tough,” Goldie told People. “I had named her Rebecca and on the 405 [freeway] I went, ‘This is a Kate.’”

Kate and her mom are on the cover of People’s very special issue this month!
