The couple chose Paul Barrett “Bear” Walker the day after their son was born on April 30, Cody revealed to People. The first photo of her newborn boy was posted by Felicia to Instagram a week later, and it showed Colt Knox Walker, 2, holding the infant.

Cody explained to People that “this November will mark 10 years since we lost my brother, Paul,” adding, “and I just felt now was the appropriate time.”

Cody and his wife have a 5-year-old daughter named Remi Rogue Walker, and he isn’t the first member of the Walker family to carry on the name of the late actor.

Caleb Walker, their older brother who is 45 years old, and his wife Stephanie paid tribute to the late actor by naming their firstborn son Maverick Paul Walker, now 5 years old. They have a 16-month-old daughter named Everly Grace Walker.

Paul Walker’s brother paid the ultimate tribute to him.

After having their last child, Cody and his brother Caleb decided to end their reproductive years and tell the world about it. Paul William Walker IV is the fourth generation of our family to bear that name. Despite swiftly surpassing our father in height, we nevertheless referred to him as “little Paul” or “Paul 4” inside the family. Having that name live on was significant to me.

Many people, not just the Walker brothers, have named their children after Paul. Paul’s co-star in the Fast & Furious franchise, Vin Diesel, named his third daughter Pauline in 2015.

Over the years, Paul’s loved ones have also made concerted efforts to preserve his memory in other ways. Cody and Caleb stepped in as his stand-ins and body double for Furious 7 after he died from injuries incurred in a vehicle crash.

Since then, they’ve shown their support for the Fast & Furious cast at various appearances, and Cody’s annual FuelFest music and automotive festival has allowed him to reunite with the franchise’s stars. Part of the revenues from this year’s race, which will be held on June 3 at the Irwindale Speedway in California, will be donated to Reach Out Worldwide, the organization started by Paul and now led by Cody.

Cody told People that he thinks of Reach Out WorldWide “as a part of Paul that he left behind,” and that “it’s important to so many to see that part of his legacy live on.”
