Celebaby Name

[forloveofbaby.livejournal.com]

While reports haven't been confirmed yet, Jay-Z is telling pals that he & Beyonce have named their daughter Ivy Blue Carter.

WDYT?

eta: ooooooor it's Blue Ivy? I like Ivy Blue better... http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/pet-rock-1.811972/report-beyonce-and-jay-z-welcome-daughter-1.3436542

eta2: still no confirmation from parents/publicists on the name though Gwyneth Paltrow 'clarified' that it's Blue Ivy. Entertainment Weekly claims it's Ivy Blue. Apparently it's some combination of the two. I also just read that they were originally going to name her Tiana May Carter. Thoughts on that one?

eta3: "According to GMA, the couple chose "Ivy" because of the significance of the number "4" or "IV," --  Beyonce and Jay-Z were born on Sept. 4 and Dec. 4, respectively, were married on April 4, 2008, and Beyonce's latest album is entitled 4.)" <~ I really like the thought behind that. Well played, though I'm surprised with the 4 thing they didn't have the C-section planned for the 4th...

LOVE it!! Very "normal" for a soon to be very famous baby! :)

I don't mind it. Blue is a bit out there, but not bad. But Ivy Carter sounds really nice.

I think it's cute! I'm curious to see if this will be confirmed.

Considering the radonkulous names a lot of celebrities come up with, this is a relatively normal name. Ivy is cute.

I heard on twitter it was 'Ivy Blue' from a few news sources.

I like Ivy :) It's on my list. I think 'Blue' is more of a boy's name though.

Well that's Ivy off my list then!

I don't know why, but Blue Ivy sounds like a disease. "Dude, I can't go boarding, I got blue ivy..."

I was on board with Ivy Blue...Blue Ivy, not so much. I don't like matching adjectives and nouns for a name.

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

I really like Ivy Blue. I don't like the name switched, though. Blue as a first name seems very masculine to me (aside from the Blue Clue's...who is a girl).

Personally I think they should have gone for Tiana May...
I really hope it's not Blue Ivy because that just sounds stupid. Ivy Blue is not bad though.

Good God, what is wrong with people naming their children such horrid monikers?!

[pleasure-past.livejournal.com]

I'm not a huge fan of Blue, but I like Ivy. Hopefully it's Ivy Blue rather than Blue Ivy. I think I like Tiana May better than Blue Ivy.

[quinnthevixen.livejournal.com]

I really hope it's Ivy Blue, and not Blue Ivy. I love Beyonce-Z but I will not be pleased if they use "Blue Ivy" as a moniker.

I much prefer Ivy Blue to Blue Ivy. Either way, they both sound like a lounge name, and not a child. Ivy is very nice. Blue is an ok middle name.

[hermione-vader.livejournal.com]

I prefer Ivy Blue. If they're going to use Blue, it works best as a middle name. And 4+4=8, so maybe this is a good birthday for the baby.

[pixie-bones.livejournal.com]

I really hope it's Ivy Blue (nms, but not bad), and not Blue Ivy...
I don't like Tiana May at all.

I love The name Ivy and Ivy Blue is a cute combo, but Blue Ivy is not. I'm just hoping the baby looks like her and not him!!!

[silvermidnight.livejournal.com]

Eh, Ivy is alright but I'm getting kind of sick of Blue and Bleu. John Travola's daughter is Ella Bleu, Alicia Silverstone's son is Bear Bleu and now Ivy Blue.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I must be incredibly jaded, because Ivy Blue/Blue Ivy seems tame to me. I hope it's Ivy Blue, though. I love Ivy.

[incogneato86.livejournal.com]

It's Blue Ivy. Ugh.

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's just............awful.
