The baby girl’s name carries deep significance for the entire family. First name Scottie honors Pete’s father, Scott Matthew Davidson, a New York City firefighter who tragically died while responding to the September 11 terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers when Pete was just 7 years old. The middle name Rose is a tribute to her mother Elsie’s middle name, keeping both parental legacies alive.

Pete’s Dreams of Fatherhood Finally Realized
Pete recently opened up about how this moment has been a lifelong dream. According to E! News, Pete told the outlet that becoming a father was something he’d hoped for since childhood. “It’s been my dream since I was little, which is cool,” he shared, adding that his childhood ambitions had only grown stronger over time.
The 32-year-old comedian also revealed his approach to parenting, saying he wants to “take care of something and show it the childhood I didn’t have.” He explained his philosophy: “I assume you just try to give them what you didn’t have, and what you didn’t like, not do it.” This heartfelt sentiment shows just how much he’s been thinking about the responsibility ahead.
