What are Patrick Mahomes' kids' names?
--------------------------------------
The Mahomes children are named:
* Sterling Skye Mahomes
* Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III
* Golden Raye Mahomes
The son, Patrick III, technically doesn't have Bronze in his legal name. But the Mahomes family has called him that since sharing their first photo of him on Instagram, so it counts.
Sterling was born on Feb. 20, 2021.
Patrick was born on Nov. 28, 2022.
Golden was born on Jan. 12, 2025.

Why are the Mahomes kids named after metals?
--------------------------------------------
The origin of these metallic names predates the kids.
Patrick and Brittany got their first dog together in college, named Steel.
When they got their second dog, it got the name Silver.
The couple wanted family names that followed a theme. In this case, that theme is metals.
