Artist-singer M.I.A. recently took to her blog to vehemently deny reports about her new baby’s name. His name, she wrote haughtily, is not Ickitt. Or Pickit. Or Whateverickit.
Now TMZ is reporting that according to the actual birth certificate, M.I.A’s baby’s name is Ikhyd, as in Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman.
Guess when he’s older he could always call himself I.R.A. for short.
M.I.A., who’s given name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, was born in England to parents of Sri Lankan descent. The Grammy- and Oscar-nominated rapper revealed her son’s birth on her MySpace blog in early February, saying that the baby is “healthy, fine, beautiful” and the most amazing thing on this planet.
The father is her fiance, musician Benjamin Bronfman.
The singer delivered the baby within days of delivering a scene-stealing performance at the Grammys on Feb. 8.
