Let’s talk about the joy of welcoming a new baby into the world. For Carson Daly, the arrival of his daughter Goldie Patricia on March 26 was more than just exciting—it was a moment filled with love, meaning, and family tradition. The beloved Today show host opened up about how he and his wife, Siri Daly, made the occasion even more special by choosing a name steeped in family significance.
How Goldie Patricia Got Her Name
On March 27, Carson Daly called into the Today show to share the backstory behind his newborn daughter’s name. At 46 years old, Carson is no stranger to life’s joys, but this moment was truly unique. He explained how he and Siri came up with the name Goldie Patricia, revealing that the inspiration came from an unexpected source—an AncestryDNA test he took around St. Patrick’s Day.
The Irish Connection
Carson revealed that the AncestryDNA test confirmed he’s 98 percent Irish, which sparked the idea for the name Goldie. “We had this short list of names that we liked, but none of them really stood out,” Carson said during his call. “Then it hit me—this is our fourth child, and she feels like the pot of gold at the end of our family rainbow. It just felt right.”

Carson shared that when he brought up the idea to Siri, the name clicked instantly. “I said, ‘What do you think about Goldie Patricia?’ And that was it,” he recalled. “It was one of those moments where you just know. We both felt it.”
The Nickname That Stuck
As any proud parent knows, nicknames are a big part of raising kids, and Carson already has a sweet moniker lined up for Goldie: “Go Go.” How adorable is that? This nickname is bound to stick, given Carson’s knack for creativity and fun.
Fans Connect the Dots
When Carson first announced Goldie’s birth, fans were quick to notice the significance of the name. While some were curious about the connection between the family and the name Goldie, others weren’t surprised at all by the choice of Patricia as the middle name. It turns out Carson was paying tribute to his late mother, Pattie Daly Caruso, who passed away in 2017. What a beautiful way to honor her memory.
