Scotty McCreery’s young child proposes amusing fast-food inspired name
Scotty McCreery and his wife, Gabi, are expecting their second son in November, and their 2-year-old son, Avery, has a comical suggestion for the baby’s name: to name him after a fast-food menu item that he loves, the Bo-Berry Biscuit from Bojangles. Being from the Carolinas, the family has a deep affection for Bojangles, and Avery has his heart set on naming his baby brother Bo Berry McCreery. Despite the insistence on this unique name, McCreery jokingly mentioned that they might have to break the news gently to Avery once they decide on a different name for his brother.
Avery’s choice stems from his admiration for the tempting 370 calorie treat that costs $1.60 plus tax. The adorable insistence on naming his new sibling after a fast-food item has amused the parents, who are in the midst of preparing for the arrival of the newest member of their family. The idea of having a son named Bo Berry McCreery does have a certain appeal with its country charm and catchy ring to it, aligning perfectly with Avery’s wishes.
Amidst the excitement of expanding their family, Scotty McCreery is maintaining a busy tour schedule booked through 2026, with a packed agenda including performances in November when the baby is due. The logistics of being on tour while expecting the arrival of a new baby present a unique challenge for the couple, but fans are intrigued to see how they navigate this exciting time in their lives. At only 31 years old, born on October 9, 1993, McCreery’s youthful energy and enthusiasm shine through as he balances his career and family life.
A former American Idol winner from Season 10 in 2011, McCreery’s triumph on the show propelled him into a successful country music career, solidifying his status as one of the standout success stories from the competition. Known for his musical talents, McCreery is revered as one of the best guitarists in country music, showcasing his skill and passion for the instrument that resonates with fans everywhere. The 2025 CMA Awards nominations unveiled some surprises and snubs, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the music industry and recognizing rising stars within the country music scene.
As the anticipation builds for Scotty McCreery and Gabi to welcome their second child, the playful suggestion from their eldest son, Avery, to name the baby after a beloved fast-food treat has added a lighthearted touch to their family’s excitement.
