Riley Keough revealed in a cover story for Vanity Fair's September issue that her baby daughter's name pays tribute to Keough's late grandfather, Elvis Presley, and her late brother, Benjamin Keough. "This is Tupelo," she said before sharing Tupelo's full name — Tupelo Storm Smith-Petersen, who arrived via surrogate in August 2022.
"It's funny because we picked her name before the Elvis movie," Keough continued. "I was like, 'This is great because it's not really a well-known word or name in relation to my family — it's not like Memphis or something. Then when the Elvis movie came out, it was like, Tupelo this and Tupelo that. I was like, 'Oh, no.' But it's fine." Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.
