Why Love Is Blind’s Bliss Vetoed Zack’s ‘Polarizing’ Baby Name (Exclusive)
Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski were on a mission to find the perfect baby name before welcoming their newborn.
Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE about her postpartum retreat nonprofit project, the couple — who met and married on season 4 of Love Is Blind — revealed that before landing on Galileo for the name of their baby daughter, Bliss “vetoed” a few of Zack’s outlandish name suggestions.
“I’ve always loved alliteration,” the new dad tells PEOPLE. “If you remember me talking about names on Love Is Blind that I wanted to name my future child, they were all alliterations, right?”

He continues to share that fans started to speculate if his unique and alliterative name ideas were inspired by a specific video game, saying “there’s even an article” about it.
“There’s a video game, Elden Ring. Everyone thought that it was based on Elden Ring bosses,” he explains. “It just so happens that that game has a lot of characters with G’s for their names, but I really like alliterations, and one that I think very polarizing is Goliath.”
Bliss quickly chimes in, “We will not be naming our children Goliath.”

“Yeah, I got a hard veto,” Zack recalls, “But Goliath Goytowski — I love the name. I love the idea of it, but Bliss has vetoed that.”
He adds, “That was never going to happen,” as Bliss quips the name would better suit “a pet lizard.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the pair shared that they want Galileo, whom they welcomed in May, to watch their season of the Netflix show.
“Yeah, definitely,” Bliss says. “I think bringing our baby into our love is so special. We’re going to be able to show her how we fell in love and she’ll be able to see us get married and watch our proposal and watch our story one day, and that’s just so incredibly special.”
