Nick Sirianni becomes baby namesake after Eagles' Super Bowl glory sparks emotional tribute from L.A. family

Fans often find unique ways to celebrate their passion — jerseys, tattoos, even elaborate game-day rituals. But for Jazmine Jackson and Eric Estrada, the birth of their daughter in April 2025 marked the beginning of a legacy unlike any other. They named her Sirianni — after none other than Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni — a decision born out of love, loyalty, and a little bit of football magic.

Baby Sirianni : How a Super Bowl victory inspired one family to immortalize an NFL coach's legacy

It all started as a joke. Last July, when Jazmine learned she was expecting, her sister Tyquanique — a long-time Eagles devotee — casually suggested naming the baby Sirianni. But the joke quickly turned into something far more meaningful. “No, I’m going to call her Sirianni,” Jazmine told her sister, laying claim to a name that would ultimately carry deep emotional and symbolic value.


Though neither Jazmine nor Tyquanique hails from Philadelphia, the bond they share with the Eagles runs deep. From their home base in Los Angeles, the sisters have built a ritual around every game — waking at dawn to line up for 10 a.m. kickoffs at the IMAX-style Cosm theater in Inglewood. Even during pregnancy, Jazmine stood in those lines, weathering the discomfort just to feel a part of the action. “Since I can’t fly, because I’m pregnant, I got to get the whole experience,” she said. “It felt like you were behind the players on the field.”

Baby Sirianni, still in the womb, was along for every moment of the Eagles’ triumphant Super Bowl LIX campaign — a season defined by grit, unity, and the steady leadership of their head coach. Nick Sirianni had recently inked a multi-year extension with the team, having racked up an impressive 48-20 record, two NFC championships, and a Super Bowl title. For the Jackson family, that leadership went beyond the field.

“Sirianni stands his ground, win or lose,” Tyquanique told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “He came and brought this team to life. And when he is doing his interviews, he says what he means. I also love his kids. His kids are right there in the interviews. He’s a family-oriented man.”

Jazmine's boyfriend, Eric, was initially unsure — maybe the name would work better as a middle name. But soon, the whole family embraced it. A pink cake at the baby shower read “Welcome Baby Sirianni,” and a custom name frame made it all feel real. On April 18, at 10:27 p.m., Sirianni Nyla Estrada was born — a seven-pound, nine-ounce bundle of Eagle pride, wrapped in her very first team onesie.

While the name honors the NFL coach, it also reflects her cultural roots. Eric, of Mexican descent, appreciated that “Sirianni” carried Hispanic and Italian heritage, offering their daughter a name with a sense of identity. “It still gives her that Latino splash in her name,” Tyquanique noted. “She is half Mexican and half African American, so culturally, it fit her.”

Since her birth, Baby Sirianni has become something of a good luck charm in Eagles circles. A viral post in a fan group compared her to a tiny cheerleader and dubbed her a symbol of the team's new era.

Though she won’t remember the Eagles’ latest Super Bowl run, her name ensures that she’ll always be a part of it. “She sleeps through the night, she’s calm during the day,” Jazmine shared. “Eats well. Is very attentive. But she has her faces. She can make emotional gestures. Especially when she wants her bottle.”
