Did Beyonce & Jay-Z name their baby girl after one of Jay’s ex-girlfriends?

Beyonce and Jay-Z’s name choice for their little princess caused some of us consternation yesterday, when the birth and the baby name was announced. Sources claimed the baby girl was named either Blue Ivy or Ivy Blue Carter. At this point, it’s pretty much confirmed that the name is Blue Ivy… which… okay, I understand why people are rolling their eyes about it, but just think for a minute about how bad the name could have been. When compared to my guess of Princess BeyJay Déjà Vu Knowles-Carter, Blue Ivy sounds rather nice, right? So, what significance does the name have? Allegedly, it’s all about Bey and Jay and what’s significant to them. Unless you believe that Jay named his baby after an ex-girlfriend. He dated Blu Cantrell before Beyonce! But that’s not the official story.

Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby girl Blue Ivy Carter arrived Saturday, and while little girls are customarily pretty in pink, this baby is also being surrounded by touches of blue.

This was the case over the holidays, when, in anticipation of the baby’s birth, the parents-to-be sent pals blue Christmas gifts, a source tells PEOPLE.

Sources and fans suggest the couple chose the name “Ivy” because of the number 4 or Roman numeral IV, which is significant in Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s relationship.

Beyoncé’s birthday is Sept. 4, while Jay-Z’s is Dec. 4; the two married on April 4 in 2008; they reportedly have matching “IV” tattoos on their wedding fingers; and Beyoncé named her latest album 4.

And the significance of the baby’s first name, Blue? Well, Jay-Z has three albums with the word “blueprint” in their titles: The Blueprint was released in 2001; The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse, in 2002; and The Blueprint 3, in 2009.

In lyrics, Jay-Z has rarely been coy about proclaiming himself the best rapper ever. “I’m the Blueprint, I’m like the map for ‘em,” he said in “A Star Is Born,” from The Blueprint 3.

Fans have also chimed in on the name. “Blueprint was the hottest album ever sold by Jay-Z! their child’s name makes a lot of sense!” Tweeted @kisssmyDIAMONDS

And Tweeted @omgitsralph: “There’s a meaning in Ivy Blue. IVy = a roman numeral for 4 which is Beyoncé’s favorite number and BLUE for Jay-Z’s Blueprint albums. Wow.”

Perhaps at some point the parents will make clear why they chose the name.

Until then, there’s one thing the family is clear about, as proud aunt Solange declared on Twitter on Sunday. Blue Ivy, she said, is “the most beautiful girl in the world.”

[From People]

Once again… I don’t hate the rationale for naming the kid Blue Ivy. I almost get it, if they really did name their baby after a color that has had significance to Jay, and after “IV” for “four”. At least they have an actual argument based on their shared history for the baby name. Unlike, say, Apple Martin or Pilot Inspektor or Kal-el Cage/Coppola. I’m just saying, there’s a lot of be critical of regarding this whole “birth” thing, so I’m not spending any of my eye-rolls on the baby name.

Meanwhile, Solange totally tweeted about her new niece, “the most beautiful girl in the world.” It will definitely be interesting to see who the baby takes after, Jay or… the surrogate? A “family friend” tells Media Takeout that the baby has Jay’s nose, ears and mouth.” Aw, that’s kind of cute. Dame Gwyneth Paltrow also deigned to tweet about her BFF’s baby, writing, “Welcome to the world, Blue. We love you already!” Us Weekly also reports that Jay was seen walking the halls of Lenox Hill Hospital looking “happy.” And Bey’s parents Tina and Mathew were seen at the hospital as well, holding “flowers with pink balloons and silver and black ribbons.” My Conspiracy Radar is still in overdrive. Anyone else? This one chick claims that Beyonce’s surrogate had the baby last month. Fascinating.

    Jay dated everybody ‘before’ Bey. Actually can’t wait to see the baby. Babies are always cute! Though she did get the more stronger features from Jay’s side, according to that ‘family friend’. We’ll just have to wait and see. I’d HATE to be the female version of Jay, what a disaster that would be. Especially since her mom is one of ‘the most beautiful women on Earth’. Hard to compete with that.

    I don’t see the big deal about the name Blue? or Apple?

    Both are nice, pretty names. Many people have unusual names.. I do as well so I hate all the hate on anyone not named jennifer, tom, tracy, joe or some other boring boring name.

    I don’t care for Beyonce but seriously… it’s Blue. Not unheard of, and you can pronounce is easily… get over it.

    She had a scheduled c section, why didn’t she just schedule it on the fourth, just three days earlier?
    Confusing.
    Anyway, the name is lame. It’s a stripper/pron star/itchy plant name.
    Does JayZ remind anyone else of a Koopa? From Super Mario Bros?

      I doubt it. I think she announced the pregnancy because she felt she couldn’t hide it anymore, and had already popped. Watch, once the baby pics come out, we won’t see her flaunted around.Those two are still very private people.

      I don’t get why they pimp out the pregnancy ether, the only thing I can come up with is.

      1. To sell Beyonce crapy album that was not doing so well, instead of making like a million videos when the album first drop she waited until after the announcement to film almost all her videos and filmed parts with her before she showed and when she showed. Because really she could have shot the befor and after baby bumps in 2 days no need to film one video months apart.

      2. She really wasn’t pregnant and what’d everyone to see her with a “bump” so when it was said she had a surrogate she Could denie it by saying did you see me all around NY with a “bump”.

    Based on NY Times they caused quite a mess with the other patients in the hospital. The security prevented several people from going up to the labor / delivery floor etc…. Hospital should be fined for letting one event cause such chaos for their other patients and family.

I never ever thought she was pregnant. she’s vapid. did anyone ever see when Ashton pranks her by making her think she drops the tree and ruins Christmas for all these kids? the first thing she looks at when the tree drops is her nails. there is no way in hell she’s mess up her image or body. not even for a blessing of a child. she’s disgusting because of that -_-

        @sami, I’m sure you probably know this already, but your friend sounds a little overzealous. Exercising 3 weeks after delivery isn’t advisable for ANY women (even those who delivered vaginally), let alone someone who had major abdominal surgery! I wanted to go back to the gym 4 weeks after giving birth to my second, but they told me I was putting myself at risk for hemorrhage. My OB told me I had to wait until I was 6 weeks postpartum. I also had to pass an internal exam before I was cleared.

        Morticians, I couldn’t agree with you more. I told her straight up it sounded like a terrible idea. Her excuse was that she’d run 2 marathons, so a 5K was a walk in the park. (I couldn’t argue with that part of it all)Her doctor cleared her to do it, but I still worried for her. She was (and is) A-OK for it all, but you wouldn’t catch me doing that. I felt I was over-doing it going back to work when my son was 3 weeks, and I had a mostly normal vaginal delivery.

        the thing is though, (if she actually gave birth) she *might* be okay by then, but you certainly wouldn’t know that in advance, so it seems a little weird.

    They could have done worst, Blue Ivy is better than Apple or Peaches, still I’m a bit confused about this baby.I don’t want to believe she faked the pregnancy, it’s so stupid, so superficial, and at that point if you are using a surrogate why don’t say it?
    So…assuming she didn’t use a surrogate, she has debuted the bump at the end of August, it was during the VMA;in October she released some interviews in which she claimed she was due in February, but in the end they scheduled a c-section the first week of january. Which doctor would allow a c-section a month before the time?

      Beyonce never said when the baby was due. The media begin reporting Feb and her publist never corrected it. I think her saying that she was six months pregnant at the end of Sept was her way to clear up the date. The all the math majors starting freaking out about her being 10 months preggers …but guess what a normal gestational period is 40 weeks aka 10 months

Also if their child does inherit Jays features it would be very interesting to see how Beyonce would deal with it, since this pregnancy was dealt with so…weirdly…I do feel bad for these celebspawns being judged harshly for not being as beautiful as their famous moms, it would be a lot to live up to.

        If the only reason they still have any fame is because they belong to a cult then that must mean that everyone famous belongs to a cult. Is that what you’re saying? Is that your rationale? Because from where I’m standing, it’s an asinine one.

        As for the numerology aspect, the baby’s name comes out to four, their “lucky number.” Added to the birth date and you get double fours, which represents them.

        How? Simple. Blue = 4. Ivy = 3. Carter = 6. 4+3+6=13 1+3=4

        1-7-2012 1+7+2+0+1+2=13 1+3=4

        Even when done using the Fibonacci sequence, it still comes out to four.

        Also, many Chinese use numerology and astrology when it comes to the names of their children as well as when to conceive them, when to give birth to them

        Sweet Mary, you guys are looking for stuff that isn’t there. Is your life THAT boring that you’ve got to create vast conspiracies in order to supplement the lack of anything interesting?

    If security is sooo important to them why didn’t they have the baby at Cedars-Sinai? That hospital has vast experience in dealing with celebrities and accomdating their desire for privacy. They even have a floor that is reserved for celebrities, world leaders, etc. and it is not accessible by the general public. They already have signs up in the hospital forbidding the use of cameras.

    Had they had the baby at Cedars they would not have had to inconvenience other patients and their families.

    Blue is a pretty name. (Would one tend to become blue over time by having it as one’s moniker, though?) Ivy is a pretty name. Ivy Blue is a nice, if unusual combination. But Blue Ivy doesn’t do it for me. Reminds me too much of Bleu Cheese. And one doesn’t really expect ivy to be blue, does one?

    The rational for the names bothers me a bit, in that it seems to be all about, “me, me ME! My hit albums, my wedding date.” Just my opinion on the matter, no biggie.

    But the important thing is that she’s loved and wanted. Nothing else is a big deal.

    They were talking about this on GMA this morning. Apparently, they “rented” the entire floor of the hospital so she would be the only patient. Tape was placed over the lenses of all security cameras on the floor. And hospital employees had to sign a confidentiality agreement and had their cell phones confiscated. Now I don’t really give a rat’s ass about celebrity procreation. A person’s reproductive choices are their own. However. Hearing all of that really made my conspiracy radar ping. Highly suspect.

      Probably because they are getting a heck of a lot of heat for taking over the entire floor, and their “security” denying other parents access to their own children in the NICU. I blame the hospital for letting this happen, but public opinion about this is BAD on them. Doctors said they couldn’t see to their patients, and one man had to wait every time he went to visit his preemie twin daughters. The hospital security said this never happened, but it wasn’t hospital security it was Bey & Jay-Zs “private” security that denied people access to their newborns in the NICU. I mean why deny access to the NICU when their baby was born healthy and wouldn’t even be there? Entitled jerks and their over-zealous security. They are really out of touch. So now the people who wouldn’t even confirm they were married for two years make a miscarriage public? Puleeeeze!

    I don’t believe she was ever pregnant. Things don’t add up. It was okay for her to bring it to light on the awards. Then that funny looking pic on the beach with the make up stomach. Then ur folding stomach. Then the size of ur stomach getting big and small. But being secret of the birth. Now public with a song. Wow r u private or not.

    she’s not been pregnant. i’m very confused as to how ANYONE could possibly believe that. EVERYONE who has eyeballs and a working brain knows it was a surrogate. i dont think there’s any chick on earth i despise more than this sickening, selfish, mocking, lying ho. everything about her is cringe inducing – from the smug b*tch look on her face to her nauseating laugh/cackle. worst part of it is, these two demons know that 99% of the world is so dumbed down they’ll actually believe whatever they’re told. THEY ARE LAUGHING AT YOU, DUMMIES!

    I had twins at Lenox Hill last year who stayed in the NICU for a week. The private rooms in the maternity ward are in a hallway right by the entrance to the NICU. The visitor waiting room for maternity is also near the NICU entrance. I wouldn’t be suprised that her security team positioned themselves there. They should be seriously ashamed of their behavior if they were in any way disruptive to any other patients and their families and most of all families attempting to visit the NICU. That is beyond contemptible.

    I haven’t read all the comments. so

    Jay wrote a song about Blue and the fact that he and Bey had a miscarriage some time back before this pregnancy. I think that is sad and so true for so many couples.

    the line goes..

    “Last time the miscarriage was tragic / We was afraid you’d disappear but nah baby you’re magic.”

    New reports from a couple statement says she had a Natural Birth now a c-section

    The birth, which occurred at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC: “She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.”

    i can understand them having security or even having a private room. There are plenty of people who i could imagine would try and sell a picture or get a look at them.

    In my mind if they were doing a surrogate they could do it all quietly at home very easily. There would too many lies to cover up and too many people who could potentially talk to make faking something like this so publicly worth it.

    All i can say is that a child is a blessing and that I wish them all well.

    Nevermind the changing bump-size. Babies move in the womb. But this whole mess with the hospital and not allowing other parents to see their newborns. That’s crossing the line! And VERY suspicious behaviour. They bodyguards could have stood outside the doors to HER room, IF she was filmed coming down the hallway to her room, that would have been further proof in her case, but instead she does this shit with putting tape across the cameraes. ARE THEY CRAZY!!! Those other children could have been kidnapped for all anybody knows! Shame on them!

    I wasn’t fully convinced before. But I am know. They’re smug, money-hungry attention whores. And they’re even worse than those shameless Karthrasions. They’re smart. They know what they’re doing and ALOT of people are falling for their act.

      The Lenox Hill Hospital reps stated today the maternity wing/floor was never closed off to the public, and The Carters did not pay $1.3 million to do so:

      “The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true.”

      The rep adds, “The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations.”

      “The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days.” why did he tell the papers rather than complain to the hospital?

        ”A PUBLIC hospital should not have agreed to close a whole wing for her – at ANY price.

        Bey & Jay’s security have been keeping regular people from their own babies! That is NOT allright at ALL.

        Celebrities are NOT “royalty”. I’m sick to death of everyone acting like they are/treating them like they are. NO!

        If they wanted this level of privacy/security, they should have hired a private doctor/nurses and had the baby in a PRIVATE facility – not a public hospital, where they are casuing all sorts of problems for regular people.”

        I am SICK of celebrities treating non-famous people like 2nd class citizens. The fact that they took away what would have been an otherwise magical but straining experience for already stressed out parents is DISGUSTING!

        Besides, I’d rather believe a normal person that has gone to the media (which is the only way to get justice nowadays, if you’re not a millionaire) than a hospital doing damage-control.

        I agree with Asli. And the hospital is denying those claims -now- as part of damage control but initially they just said “oh why would anybody have complaints about that? we’re so surprised blah blah” they didn’t deny it. and one of their staff, a doctor complained also, saying he had patients in that wing. this is just ridic. both ass-z and beyowulf should be ashamed. along with that greedy hospital for treating their patients thus. if you are going to rent out an entire floor, and this is a private hospital, then don’t take other patients in that floor. make it private for beyowulf. you have acquired more than enough money to close it off for a while.

      if it was a natural birth, why not have it in the privacy and comfort of your own home? -now- she figures she’d have to wear a fake scar for the rest of her life? you’re right she’s dumber than a bag of rocks. and i initially believed she was preggers. i just thought she had to wear a fake tummy because she announced it way early, but turns out that wasn’t true at all… and then walking around the beach in a dress… bish please. in her most recent interview with cosmo she said she never walked without high heels even for a week.. specifically inserted that tidbit there because people knew it was a fake ’cause no 9 months pregnant lady could wear those high heels.

    what baffles me the most, since the beginning of this whole ordeal, is why beyowulf was so scared of “ruining her body” by giving birth, so much that she had to rent a surrogate and stuff (yes i believe it now… this whole thing is too shady). i mean, all celebrities give birth to several children, and none of them have ruined bodies or anything. after the birth, they have all kinds of exercise, dieticians, tummy tucks and whatnot at their disposal. look at any celeb lady who gave birth. all of them look much better than most ladies who have never been pregnant. and beyoncé is not extremely thin either, she already looked very maternal; huge hips, thunder thighs and everything. i understand men really like women with big hips and legs, but giving birth would not cause her to lose that at all… if anything she could only get bigger. so why was she so freaked out about carrying the baby herself. dumb as rocks.

      I don’t know. Bey has a great body. And as a Black woman I know she has the kind of body black men crave and men of other races as well. she is very curvy and men love the thick thighs and butt and all of it.

      I think women have a different idea of what is attractive to men. We as women in many cases think what we find attractive is what men go after and it is not the case. Different mind set.

      Bey is extremely attractive. I have been in the company of men and when they see her they will tell you she has it.

      so women need to put on a different hat when assessing other women. We don’t see them the same as a man. Never will

      I still don’t know if she had the child or not. But I get that it is gossip.

        that’s what i’m saying. she didn’t need to worry because thick hips and legs are definitely in vogue. anyway about 99% of the men i see (all of them were white btw) like big legs and hips on a woman. and besides even if she doesn’t want to go bigger, she didn’t need to worry because she could diet, work out, have lipo you know just like the rest of the lady celebs who give birth! and they all look thinner than paper.

    Did she have this baby via scheduled c-section or naturally? Now they can’t even keep their story of the delivery straight. Not that it really matters, since she wasn’t pregnant anyway. My guess is that Ingrid the surrogate went into labor early, hence the initial “scheduled c-section” report to explain the birth when she said she was due in Feb.

    I don’t care what other people name their kid. That’s their perogative. Just like it’s the child’s perogative if he/she wants to change their name, or go by another name once they are old enough to decide. I renamed myself from 8-13 years of age (and refused to answer to anything else) until I finally decided I liked my first name at the age of 17….lol. So, my point, who cares about the name.

    The important thing is this quote – …”the baby has Jay’s nose, ears and mouth”

    OMG!!!! I hate to say it, but that baby might not be cute!!! I’m just saying… Take a look at Jay’s nose, ears and mouth! Then decide for yourself.

    OK…..gossip site (BG) has had a couple more than the it’s a fake baby blinds, along with pillow baby blinds.
    Now I just read that the Carters are throwing out the “she had a misscarriage story” in hopes of turning the haters into feeling sorry for ol’ Bey. But after reading their birth announcment “We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012. Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful – we are in heaven. She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs. It was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.”
    It doesn’t read like a normal announcment, nothing about mother and daughter are doing fine and just who in the hell says it was delivered naturally, something is different about how its written. The writing is fague….. I think that since they aren’t getting the positive response they were hoping for, that in time they will come out with a story of…. because she had a misscariage she wasn’t able to carry a baby on her own. And the only reason she did the fake pillow thing was to throw off the press and protect the surrogates identity/ and the baby too.
    But, then again she seems like a crazy b*tch! And she might not ever cop to the truth.
