Porsha Williams and Dennis McKinley welcomed their first child, daughter Pilar Jhena, in March 2019, but they had a name picked out long before she officially came into the world. As soon as they learned that they were having a girl, The Real Housewives of Atlanta couple dubbed their daughter “Baby PJ” — and there’s a good reason for that, as Dennis shared in a recent Instagram post.

When Porsha and Dennis took to calling their daughter-to-be Baby PJ, many speculated that she would be named "Porsha Jr” — and it looks like they weren’t completely off-base. Though the couple ended up landing on a different moniker, Dennis recently hinted that they did consider naming their little girl after her mom.

On May 28, Dennis took to Instagram to share a baby picture of Porsha — and if you’re thinking she looks practically identical to Pilar, you’re not the only one!

 “@pilarjhena (PJ) was actually supposed to be named Porsha Jr....in this throwback pic you see why! (Porsha at 2yrs old),” Dennis captioned the photo.
