The baby was called Hototataraisukihime since her mother had become pregnant with the baby as a result of being startled by being struck in the hoto; however, Hototataraisukihime was renamed to Himetataraisukeyorihime to eliminate "Hoto" from the original name.
ホトを突かれてびっくりして生まれた子であるということでホトタタライスキヒメと名づけ、後に「ホト」を嫌ってヒメタタライスケヨリヒメに名を変えた。
