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.

OK on looks as long as she has Bey’s basic bone structure a nose job can cure the nose problem. PLEASE OH PLEASE let this one favor her mama!
LOL!!
@min76, poor Billy Joel’s daughter looked nothing like Christy Brinkly. She was able to fix her nose, but she still has daddy’s eyes. Then there’s the Willis girls, which illustrates your point about bone structure. In short, if Bey’s
baby has Jay’s eyes or bone structure nothing can be done to change it.
Even though Alexa Joel takes after her dad rather than her supermodel mom, she’s still a pretty girl. The Willis girls? I can’t help but pity them; I dont think any amount of plastic surgery will help them signficantly.
Christ on a tricycle. It’s a *newborn*. Are you seriously talking about plastic surgery already?
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.
There are other ways to be unique, and Hadley isn’t nearly as ridiculous sounding as Blue.
But I suppose you love seeing all the Aayden/Aiden/Ayden/Jayden/Jaiden/Kayden/every other kid named a version of one of those names out there? Common, older names are becoming more unique lately.
Hahaha I`m tired of the Aydens/Jaidens too. lol. I have a friend who named her kid Jayden, another one name her kid Jayven, this other girl I knew in from high school named hers Aaydin and this is just to name a few. It’s just like when people kept calling their daughters Keshia lol.
I’m totally over all the rhyming Aiden/Braden/Caydon/Jaden/Dayton/Peyton/Haydens out there. They followed the KL KoLLeKtive: Kayleigh, Kayla, Kyla, Keelie, 1000-differently-spelled Caitlins, Chloe, Kyle, Cale, Colton, etc. etc.
We were recently at the zoo and overheard a mom yelling after “Kinley” and “Brinley” so I am bracing myself for a new set of horrid rhyming names. Finley? Lynleigh? Tinley? Min-Lee? These all sound bad to me, but the ones I’ve already heard are even worse…
@Texasmom, uuuhhhh! I know a Cale. Maybe she’ll name her next kid Kucumber?
LOL @texasmom
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?
Lainey pointed out that maybe they waited until midnight Sat so it was actually the 8th:
JayZ 4 + Bey 4= Baby 8
Jay-Z reminds me of Joe the Camel
hahahah WHAT?! that was the best and most random comment ever.
update: googled, joe the camel, and you are RIGHT
LOL!!!
Oh that was good and very perceptive.
Omg..that’s funny. Come to think of it, lol
ppl have been calling him camel forever!..he even acknowleged it in one of his songs off BP3 “what we talkin’ about”…
Ack! Unsee, unsee! Nope, I can’t. Spot-on.
he always reminded me of a giant turtle, like the one from Kung-fu panda;)
Quick! Let’s look in the liner notes of their albums for a secret message!
Congrats to them! Kaiser, I think you really hit it on the head about the number “4” in IVy but I also think the Blue is dedicated to his Blueprint album. I could be reaching, but it sounds logical to me lol.
This name is horrible but what you can expect from Jay-Z (why zzzzzz?) and Beyonce with fancy e (sounds like great name for vintage french hooker).
A “family friend” tells Media Takeout that the baby has Jay’s nose, ears and mouth.”
Ummmm I wonder if it looks a little like this… (scroll to bottom to see the picture of Jay)
ohellnawlblog.com/newohnblog/2011/08/28/dear-beyonce-please-be-preggy-with-a-boy/
hahahahahhaha oh my god the comments today are making me die. i did NOT expect to see that picture, day is made.
I dont think he dated Blu Cantrell…I think I just remember her saying something catty that B better watch out because she thinks Jay-Z is a “baby doll” or something like that.
Lainey thinks that this child is the new lord and savior lol, well maybe in the hip pop world lol
I named my daughter, who was born in 2007, Ivy. Thanks Bey. I’m sure it’ll be in the Top 10 in a few more years.
Hey me too, 2007. High fives. 😉
Ivy is a pretty name but, Blue Ivy is not. he did date blu cantrell.
Ivy was on my short-short list of names for my baby girl. I think it is a great name! Really the only thing I had against it was that I did not want my daughter to have the same initials as her brother :^)
Can believe anything about these vapid idiots.
Beyonce has really sunk very deep.
@kaiser, please post a pic of Blu Cantrell (or you could just post her video “Hit em up Style (oops!)”
She and Bey look like they could be sisters!
I just can’t get over how privacy they were about their relationship and marriage and when she got pregnant, she was all over the place, getting papped left and right. Expect to see lots and lots of pictures of the Hip Pop Princess soon
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”.
What about their security restricting the access of other parents to see their babies on the same floor? I thought that story was much more interesting.
I agree. If that story’s true, it’s disgusting, and those people deserve an apology.
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 agree with Dorothy.
That is ridiculous. The things money can buy. Everyone involved in this
BS should be ashamed. If they wanted so much privacy, they should of had a home birth or something. They had tape put over the security cameras, all the staff had to hand over their cell phones. Good God their child is not the first or last being to ever be born. At the end of the day, in the grand scheme of things, not that many people give a shit or have an interest in this childs life. Just another celebrity kid.
Agree totally. There are more average/ regular people that give birth in that hospital everyday. To cater so much to one person seems intolerable.
To act like their baby is more important to them than any other baby is to his/her parents is such a blatant act of arrogance, I can hardly form a train of thought!
And tape over the security cameras? If I’d given birth in that hospital, I would be mightily pissed. That puts everybody else’s babies at risk for kidnapping.
AGREED! If i couldn’t see a loved one because of them security would be carrying me out kicking amd screaming. ..lol
Please like Beyonce – a woman worth hundreds of millions of dollars – is gonna just waddle up next to a bunch of normal people in the maternity ward. They have stalkers, fans and paparazzi to deal with. Plus I am sure the million plus they paid for this privacy will go a long way in helping people. Take your self-righteous indignation elsewhere.
so what there’s been worse things people have been named after for example Amanda Anka is probably named for the mother in Tennessee Williams’s Glass Menagerie or Ophelia Dahl is probably named after Polinious’s daughter in Hamlet. as long as Beyonce and the baby are healthy it doesnt matter who she’s named after
I really want to like Beyonce but more and more I am seeing what a famewhore she is and naming your child after your albums and your favorite number is all kinds of crazy to me. It reeks of self-delusion and narcissism to the extreme. I think these people get so big and famous that they get caught up in the God complex reminds me of the Pharaohs of ancient time.
No different than those naming their children, grand-children, great grandchildren, after themselves. What> Like there should be more of your names around?
Also, most celebs are narcissitic. I don’t get the big deal over the name, it obviously means something to them.
Which is why I despise the name junior. And naming a child after a relative is much different than naming a child after your own materialistic successes. A record? Please and child is an individual and not another successful record album.
Well there’s probably a story behind naming the kid, after his album if thats even true. I don’t get the big deal really. Why is it superficial…when we don’t know the reason.
Sigh. My daughter is Ivy. Til now there weren’t very many.
why did she have a c-section..not my business but so many celebs have them…I think its so they can get an immediate tummy tuck. But I don’t know. Like the name…its cute. Its great their was security provided but seriously…is the birth of their baby so much more special than other folks – no.
sooo the surrogate gave birth? thats wonderful 🙂 supposedly beyonce had a c section. an according to mediatakeout.com she’s set to perform at the Grammys in 5 weeks. doesn’t it take longer to heal then that? 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 -_-
I do remember that segment and people in my office commented negatively about her reaction. It so turn them off her. Simon cowell also commented when he met her that her eyes were blank and cold.
Her eyes ARE blank and cold.
She looks dumb as a box of rocks. How else could she put up with Jay Z’s ego?
I have a good friend who ran a 5K 3 weeks after her C-Section. I’ve got another friend who took 8 weeks to heal after hers. I guess it just depends on the individual. This is why I will NEVER have a voluntary C-Section. I was walking around 20 minutes after everything was said and done-and that’s with 3 layers of stitches!
edit: Sorry, Dakota, meant to comment on hateonit!
@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.
@sami, I can’t believe her doctor cleared her to do it! I too went back to work 3 weeks after giving birth. No maternity leave. I think we talked about this a while ago, but some of us have to even though we’d like to stay home longer.
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.
Then again she could easily drop out – perhaps they’re holding somebody in reserve.
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
I don’t know about the conspiracy angle, her boobs look like ginormous pregnancy boobs in that black dress. Sure you can make boobs look big but they don’t look stuffed to me. Just preggers.
look closely at that pic. they are fake cups skin colored put over her boobs.
I will never believe the conspiracy theories, no matter what. Its quite ridiculous honestly.
Anybody who thinks beyonce birthed that baby herself, can I sell you a bridge? Let’s see how long it takes for them to show the kid. Now that their very bad acting stint trying to convince everyone Bey was pregnant is over, they’re going to go right back to the “privacy” thing.Just be honest. Even Nicole Kidman couldn’t do the fake belly a second time.
Sure you can sell me a bridge if I can sell you a brain!!! The photos of her in the past week clearly show that she was pregnant…swollen feet, puffy face, larger boobs.
YEp@ Sherry
Orrrr she ate a lot. 😀
Did you see the BI about the star faking pregnancy & realising that since no one was buying, she started taking Prednisone to “fill out” her face, etc?
@the original bellaluna This BI comes from Blind Gossip, how can you believe one it’s legit.
They first stated Beyonce was using a surrogate because she didn’t want to ruin her body.
Then this pic hit the web :
http://www.dlisted.com/2011/12/21/yes-beyonce
The very next day they ran the Prednisone story. How convenient.
I’ve said it before and gonna say it again Blind Gossip is a fraud.
@ Bubelle – With all the other evidence slapping me in the eyeballs, I’d be a fool to think otherwise.
And normal, unswollen fingers with lots of rings on (same ones seen in many pics). Rings are usually the first to go.
Wow so they basically named their child:
The Blue(Print) IV album, so when Jay-Z releases another blueprint album it will be the 5th one?haha, I understand the fact of naming your child after something special or personal to you, but it does reek of exploitation. 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.
Ok on FB every 1 is saying he named his child “daughter of lucifer” in which is “eulbyvi” blue ivy spelt backwards. Anyway I think its trash!
…or Born Living Under Evil – Illuminati’s Very Youngest!
Well, cult-membership IS the only explanation for their continued fame and success I guess…
Wow…..what awful things to say about a young innocent baby!!!! Just Disgusting.
that baby isnt innocent. its the spawn of demon whores. sorry to break it to ya. also, do the math: 7+1+2+0+1+2=13. not a big shock for those of us who well understand the power and significance of numerology and satanic full moon ritual.
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?
What?? Jay’s nose and mouth?? Poor baby.
C-Section or carefully planned tummy-tuck – hmmmmm (??)
I dont really love Bey but i think she had the baby herself.
I really never cared about the two, but I am disgusted at what I’ve read regarding how the hospital treated the other families giving birth. That is an outrage! That said, has anyone done the math on her pregnancy? To me, it seems she had a surrogate, hence all the super security.
The hospital has suites and private areas that they sell to anyone that can afford them. This happens all the time. I work in the top ranked cancer center in the country. This type of activity happens all the time with foreign dignitaries and celebrities.
The name isn’t so bad. It does remind me of a nightclub though. It would be a great name for a club, Blue Ivy.
Now that you mention it, it does sound like a cool night club name. LOL
I am going to LMAO if this kid looks like Jay Z with a lace front wig.
Like the Blue Oyster bar? Pahahaha
Now i’m having fun wondering how they are going to go about their public debut of the baby!
Some colors make great names. Red, Green, White, Maroon, Scarlet, violet, and BLUE. Now Yellow, crimson, Turquoise… Big no-no :-D!
NO ONE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO YANDY (source of the rumour)! non muthaf*kin factor if there EVER was one, some people are so VERY pressed.
What?Who’s Yandy?
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.
Because no way in hell is Mr. Brooklyn going to allow his seed to be born outside of NYC. Maybe the next one migghhhht be born in Texas, but probably not.
But agreed. They should have gone elsewhere.
But then, Lenox Hill is a private hospital. Clearly, they did not want to walk away from the money….
Most babies closely resemble their father in the first year. It’s an evolutionary function to help keep the man around to care for the child, creates a bond if he can see “himself” in the baby. Also, Jay-z has some dominant features…that baby doesn’t stand a chance.
Exactly. Nature’s own paternity test.
Oh dear god, yes. I was such a homely baby because I had my dad’s forehead with very little hair haha. Once I hit the toddler phase I was adorable, but until then- geez 😛
I heard it was after the color blue. He is obsessed with it. He has a blue paint that is trademarked. He GM car is painted “Jay-Z blue.” Just google it.
sicking…poor kid all the way around
In a few weeks, Beyonce will be performing on stage looking fit, thin down to everyone size ‘2’ and praising giving birth and the miracle of her weight lost. Oh the joys of the “Pregnancy Diet”. – Congrats! cough, cough.
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.
When I first heard the name as Ivy Blue, I really liked it. I think that sounds very pretty, but I hate Blue Ivy. Sounds weird lol
Agree – Blue Ivy doesn’t work but Ivy Blue does. Stupid people, stupid name.
No they basically named her after their lucky number 4 = IV (in romanian numbers) the Blue thing is probably because it’s Bey favorite color or some crap 🙂
Where’s the surrogate btw?
Seriously, Kaiser? How is it alright to name your baby after your favorite number and an album title?
I pray that this child has influences in her life other than her incredibly narcissistic parents. Good grief.
Still don’t believe she had that baby.
Fake Pregnancy, Baby with a name of a porn star or second rate restaurant, a surrogate who is now packed off to Brazil.
These two idiots are making fun of themselves without even realizing it. They are that stupid…
I know this site is all about making fun of celebrities, but joking that the baby might take after the surrogate is not just incredibly rude, it’s also incredibly ignorant.
Making fun of Beyonce pillow pregnancy is funny, but the last post have been crossing the line, and this one is just ridiculous. I like to think of Celebitchy as one of the wittier sites, but I cannot condone the way beyonce’s pregnancy has been treated. Come on now. I quit Perez for a reason.
They did the same thing to Kelly Preston who absolutely looked pregnant and gained weight everywhere. Have you ever met someone who faked a pregnancy and birth? No? Me neither but according to the idiots online, every other celebrity has faked it. Did Bey fake it and have a surrogate? I just don’t know or care. The baby is here and as long as it’s loved and cared for, that’s all that matter now.
As for the name, meh, could’ve been worse.
Agreed – Preston did not lose the weight right away either. BTW, Travolta and Preston’s daughter is named Ella Blue. Has anyone else made this connection?
It’s actually Ella BLEU, which is worse.
So, the surrogate gave birth. Why else would you need to tape up security cameras and confiscate staff cell phones. I bet they all had to sign confidentiality agreements too.
Congrats. Now please go the way of the surrogate – AWAY.
The security camera thing — I don’t know which is worse, the fact that these two asked for that or that the hospital permitted it. It’s a huge abuse of the trust placed in the hospital by its patients and staff alike.
Bey was NEVER pregnant. Those who believe otherwise are in denial. Just look to Jessica Simpson’s, and Hillary Duff’s gestations to see real pregnancies in play. She’s a fraud plain and simple.
Those women are shorter women so they’ll probabaly show more. Just because she didn’t look big and sloppy all the place doesn’t mean she wasn’t pregnant. Women with different body structures tend to vary in looks, so you can’t determine it by comparing her to those girls.
Beyonce’s surrogate has reportedly given birth to a baby girl in New York, according to reliable sources. The NY Daily News reports that Beyonce, wearing a bad wig and heavy makeup, checked into an upper East Side hospital on Saturday.
But our source inside the hospital confirmed that another woman — Beyonce’s surrogate, Ingrid Jackson, was also admitted to Lenox Hill’s maternity ward under tight security Saturday morning.
Our hospital source confirmed that Jackson gave birth to a healthy baby girl Saturday afternoon
😀 ROL is claiming Ingrid Jackson was the fake name Bey used to check in. (LOVED your previous comment, too!)
Ingrid Jackson is Beyonce’s fake name she used to get in the hospital.
If they gave the hospital over $1 million dollars and closed the entire floor, why would she even need to use a fake name? That makes no sense. However, donating the $$$, renting the whole floor, bodyguards, confiscating everyone’s cell phones, covering up the security cameras (is that even legal?!) all indicate that Ingrid Jackson was another woman entirely, not just a fake name.
Maybe the ex girlfriend is the surrogate?? So strange Beyonce would agree to have baby share a name with hubby’s ex….
THANK you, skuddles! That what I’ve been saying all along – it’s the girlfriend in Trinidad’s baby with Jay.
That lady is not the same as Blu Cantrell. And Blu Cantrell never admitted to dating Jay. ALl speculation.
@Pureinsanity – I don’t recall mentioning they were one and the same. The model in Trinidad (who already has a 9-year-old son with Jay) is Shenelle Scott, not Blu whatever.
You all should read the NY Daily News today and yesterday about how they took over an entire floor of the hospital, paid over $1 million dollars for it, and other parents couldn’t get to their newly born babies. If you were going to hide something, buying an entire floor of a hospital (who knew that was even POSSIBLE??) would be one way to do it!
My apologies if you’ve covered this. I did not see it.
Yeah, let’s do the math: whole floor of a hospital with restricted access only to them + tape over the security cameras + a bullet-proof door on her suite that they spent 2 months remodeling + 4 security guards at the door + denying the parents & family of premie twins access to the NICU = SURROGATE.
Yes my flag been up since day one.
J & B should apologize for stressing out these new parents as should the hospital! Next time have the baby in your freaking mansion, you can afford it! Jerks.
They could never do a homebirth. How would they slip the pregnant surrogate in and most important out, if the paparazzi were waiting frontdoors?!
On the other hand at a hospital pregnant women walking in/out don’t make a fuss.
@ Bad Gal Addiction – Because the home wouldn’t have to be their home. Any house could have been rented for the birth if that were the case. But of course, if you think hiding a surrogate for 1 evening would be too difficult, I can’t imagine how you think they could have hidden her for 9 months.
“On the other hand at a hospital pregnant women walking in/out don’t make a fuss.”
Unless there’s one pregnant woman too many. Otherwise, why cover up the security cameras?
“the baby has Jay’s nose, ears and mouth.”
Ouchies. That’s bad. Come on now, just imagine XD
Fingers crossed she grows up to look more like Beyonce… Although genetics have a nasty habit of bringing these strong features out in the children. Poor girl. She’ll be compared to her mother all her life.
What bothers me is these horrible people put their goons outside NICU and would not let other parents in to see their sick children.
That is DISGUSTING. What kind of person does that? They are ENTERTAINERS. They are not world leaders, they are not that important. I hope the parents sue them and the hospital.
The whole story is in the NY Post and the NY Daily News
Wait a minute…they allowed some hired people to block other parents access to their babies in the NICU???? when my babies were born they were in the NICU for a short amount of time and if ANYONE had tried to keep me from seeing them, they would have some lawsuits on their hands. They cannot do that!!
Yeah…they are hiding something. Asshats!
Whatever the reasons for her name, it’s obvious this little girl is very much wanted and loved.
Jay-Z already has a song for Blue Ivy, featuring the baby herself (obviously not actually singing):
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/01/song-jay-glory-ft-blue-ivy/
So cute!
How nice. I’ll bet Jay-Z’s 10-year-old son would kill for a fraction of this kind of attention from his father.
Sadly, best comment yet…
someone with clearly too much time on their hands made a video showing beyonce hop up into her SUV last week.
its called bend it like beyonce…..lol
i could never bend my knee like that at 9 months pregnant…..

Oh my, that and this sealed it for me, especially this one.

I’ve have two kids, I am 5’9″, so taller than B, carried huge and gained a ton which I lost both times. I rode my horses until the start of month 9, but had to use an extreme mounting block. No way could I hop on a horse or into an SUV like that right before giving birth. Your balance gets skeevy from the shift of weight at the front. And the late preggo waddle. How is is that she is flat and skinny at 5 mos in her video and huge 3 weeks later at the VMA’s but got no bigger, seemingly?
Yes! The shift in your centre of gravity; the loosening of your hip joints to prepare for the birth; the clumsiness; that “pregnant waddle.”
That’s all missing!
Hey Moptician’s…did you get my reply on the other B thread? About my little blind item and your guess???
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.
So I just heard that Jay-Z released a song to commemorate the birth and, in it, he references a previous miscarriage by Bey. Is it me or is that just the tackiest thing to do? The mis wasn’t public knowledge so why make such a public declaration about it in this manner when you’re so private about things? Ugh
Not to mention letting us know where the baby was supposedly conceived. Anybody figure out yet when B & J were in Paris last year and do a little math?
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!
birthdate 411: 7 +1 + 2 +0 +1 +2 = 13. plus a full moon.
obvious, MUCH?
stupid satanists.
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!
You need medication!!! U sicko are the very reason extra security detail is needed. Who goes in with such an angry rant for someone they don’t know!!!
Ummmm….we are all thinking too hard about this ladies.
I agree. It’s just really bothersome the stunts they pulled at the hospital. I will continue to avoid all news about them
Also I could only hope they receive the same backlash Kim K got after that sham of a marriage
The name would have sounded better (and been a better name IMO) if it had been Ivy Blue. Blue Ivy sounds ridiculous, like a stripper/porn name or some kind of new STD or something.
“Ivy Blue Carter” has a much better cadence, which you think two musician parents would consider.
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.
“Blue Ivy” sounds like a product you use to freshen up the toilet bowl.
LOL EPIC FAIL http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/09/beyonce-lennox-hill-hospital-money-payment/#.TwtgPqVSShz
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.
I’m 100% convinced Bey wasn’t PG at all. I am incredibly amazed that she thought she could get away with this–or didn’t have a better prosthetic belly.
Honestly.

My gosh! Are we thinking in perspective? The name BLUE IVY could’ve been worst. Think about the other celeb names. I think celebs just enjoy being different and thinking out the box. So BLUE IVY it is. She better be pretty because if she’s ugly then its a no no.
hope she looks like Beyonce…really really 😉
“Blue Ivy” sounds like the name of a men’s cologne to me.
Hospital DENIES closing off maternity floor for Bey http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/09/beyonce-lennox-hill-hospital-money-payment/
Of course they deny – they just received 1.3 Mio $ HUSH MONEY.
no she is a drug addict, its stupid to even consider.
slow newsday huh?
so now she delivered naturally..guess someone told her it wouldn’t look right to be at the Grammy’s after a C-section so they changed the story to natural birth
LOL C-section With mediatakeout as a source try again
The thing about her closing down the hospital was simply not true, it was just revealed. She did not pay 1.3 million USD to shut off a floor; she had normal accommodation and there was minimal disruption. The guy was clearly looking for money, claiming he didn’t get to see his baby… why did he tell the papers rather than complain to the hospital? (they did not receive a complaint) once again media’s tea got clocked .
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? (they did not receive a complaint) http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/09/beyonce-lennox-hill-hospital-money-payment/#.TwtkRCN_hD0
So there you have it…
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.
@Asli you and me both! seriously what right do they have, separating new parents from their babies, premature no less.
Do you think that maybe they closed down a section of the wing for the protection of the other ‘regular’ patients? I.e., so that they would not be hounded by the press trying to sneak in or fans trying to get a look, and so that they could relax in peace with their babies?
All along it was a C-section. Dummy figured out she’d have to rock a scar. Can’t have that, so now they’re insisting she had a natural birth. Lies upon lies. Ain’t no way she had a baby.
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.
I am sorry but that name sound like a Glade plug-in fragrance.
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.
Even if the surrogate gave birth to the baby, it would still be Beyonce and Jay-Z’s DNA so the baby would look nothing like the surrogate…
Wendy Williams warned us that the baby will be born under very suspicious circumstances as in no one is allowed to see the birth, because the baby was handed over to Beowulf and she did not actually give birth to it. And that is exactly what happened. Beowulf should have come out and admitted everything when her stomach folded like a Frisbee at that Australian Interview. I can’t wait to see the picture of this “adorable” baby
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.
“BLUE” is the term the overseers in the South used for the very dark skinned colored people.
lol what that’s crazy
If true, that is absolutely disgusting behavior. I can totally see bodyguards doing something like that, too.
No need to tape up the cameras.
If we don’t see a pic of Beyonce in bed looking haggard, I’ll think they faked it and the surrogate carried their child.
Genuine Question: Do you think that maybe they closed down a section of the wing for the protection of the other ‘regular’ patients? I.e., so that they would not be hounded by the press trying to sneak in or fans trying to get a look, and so that they could relax in peace with their own babies?
I get that this is gossip – but are we all just looking for the most complicated scenario rather than the simplest – they had a baby – they will love it – a lot of the media report on speculation and gossip as if it were fact.
i think you are a very optimistic person! personally i doubt it
Just found this. I really, really hope this isn’t true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did happened:
http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/New-Father-Demands-Apology-From-Beyonce-And-Jay-Z-1660815.story
I read about this in my local newspaper too. How horrible.
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.
It doesn’t matter if the baby isn’t cute. In the long run, they have enough money to rectify that situation.
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.
A poster above had a youtube video of Bouncy jumping in her SUV two days before giving birth- where is the waddle? How can she move like that?
blu cantrell
It’s interesting that many oriental cultures believe that the number 4 is extremely unlucky. They won’t even buy houses that have the number 4 in the address.
yeah, i forgot about that. in my neighborhood, they actually skip the address 4 – it goes 2, 6, 8, 10, etc and (they also skip 13). and i live in so cal, not asia.
In a newspaper I read that these two had closed down an entire maternity ward just so they could have privacy, and how this compromise treatment for other people as well as other new parents who wanted to visit with their premature babies.
How arrogant is Jay-Z and Beyonce if this is true?
One new father was pushed around by their bodyguards.
To be named after either ex-gf or a record? Wow… My first thought was Blu Cantrell and I didn’t even know those two used to be dating, just guessed it after the baby name. But what’s my first thoughts and theirs about the baby name are probably very different!
Don’t know how awesome it is to be named after a record either “my baby, you’re SO important part of my life that I named you after my best selling album.” Sweet.
The baby will look just like them; it’s their DNA. The surrogate just carried it for them. People will say it’s “proof” Beyonce carried the baby, but all it’s proof of is that it’s their DNA. There’s ALL KINDS of ways around that.
Welcome, Welcome to the world young Baby B.I.C. !
people r so stupid 2 eva think that beyonce wud eva agree to call her baby after one of her husband’s ex! stupid!
You will find surely a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a superb point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly you’ll find questions like the one you bring up exactly where the most critical thing is going to be working in honest excellent faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged about things like that, but I’m certain that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
