Ickitt Was Pretty Darn Close
Filed under: Baby Blabber > M.I.A.
M.I.A. and fiance Benjamin Brewer's baby's name has been discovered!
So what's the true name of the baby formally known as Ickitt?
Ikhyd!
Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, to be exact.
Although the pronunciation is similar, we much rather prefer Ikhyd to Ickitt!
What do U think of M.I.A.'s unusual choice in name???

still an ugly ass name:D
sounds russian
Just another idiot "celebrity" naming their kid a stupid name that will end up getting the kid's ass kicked on the playground.
strange name for a jewish kid
Fucking first
as long as it's not ickitt
My friend Haley's brother worked closely with M.I.A. on tour last summer, and he came up with the name as a joke.
Ikhyd is like I-Kid, a play on apple products (iPhone, iPod).
Pretty funny actually.
How do you pronounce that? Anyone?…..Anyone?…..
Its HORRID and she protested too much, meanwhile its not much of an improvement on the first name you thought was the baby's name. Why can't we have any normal names? I'm sure her Jewish hubby's family is just elated that he procreated with her and then named the baby some horrible "will be a shut in for the rest of its life" name.
They might as well name it "I want you to tease me mercilessly and beat the crap out of me" because that's what the other kids will do.
BAd anme, cute kid
wicked!!
Yuckitt! Not a clever nor likable name.
It must mean something, isn't she Indian?
It's just as nice as Ichabod.
Remeber when she wrote that thing about not naming her baby Ickit and made fun of the "Hollywood" names like Apple? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!
I think Apple is a ridiculous name, but I would rather have it than IKhyd…No matter how you spell it, that poor kid is gonna be called Icky his whole life.
xox, ilona rose
Cute baby! He'll just have to get used to his i-name!
It is obviously cultural like Sri Lankhen idiots.
Re: lilybet – Thanks for telling us that, I get it now…It is funny, really funny…But you don't name your child after a joke…So sad for that baby. Seems a little weird that people that have that kind of logic should be even 'allowed' to have a child…You know what, it would be really funny to have his 5th Birthday party at Scores…Yeah, get the invites ready, it will be really funny, most of all to all his classmates….Duh, what dumbasses….
xox, ilona rose
Too strange….perhaps she is just is just putting people off his real name, and using "I Kid" to show she's making a joke about it??
Ick-Hide….is that how you say it?!!?
i guess she was going for….exotic? oh well. its still odd. But the baby is soooo cute!
hmmmmmmmmm…….uhhhhhhhhhhh………ewwwww
Ikhyd ? Pat, I'd like to buy another vowel.
poor kid… sounds horrible! I hope at least that it means smntg in her native language …
M.I.A rocks!! She can name her kid whatever she wants and I still think she is cool. At least when he gets older he can go by Ed, his middle name, if he decides he doesn't like it. But I think it's cool, go Ikhyd!!
how nice. arular was the name of M.I.A.'s first album
Cute baby, really unattractive name
Given that you expect the rest of the world to bow and genuflect to Latino culture, you are pretty culturally insensitive. MARIO is a strange sounding name to some of us you know. M.I.A. clearly gave her kid a name that means something to her Tamil ancestry and you are a putz for trying to put this in the same category as names like Apple, Bronx and Zuma.
Completely ridiculous, that kid has to actually live with that name now..
That's pretty much like the same name! jeeeezzz…
Daddy is an asshole. It's tough enough being a kid, but to tag him with a real shithook moniker is just mean.
if you say it fast it sounds like you're saying "A kid". I hate it when people name the obvious, as in naming your son "Guy" OR your dog "Dog".
i think its different. i usually jus go for things that aren't so common. becuz i like to be diff. so i think its a good name.
absolutely adorable baby boy, don't like the name though. poor kid is going to be teased so much! i-kid?! come on. what's with all the celebs naming their kids something stupid?
another fucking retarded celebrity giving their kid a name that is going to ruin the kid's life…see you on the therapist's coach ikhyd
shes fucking sri lankain you idoits. its obvious that she would choose a name like that. Learn about cultures idoits! Her fucking first name is Mathangi! HELLO!
I love the idea of an unusual name, but in reason. Ikhyd? Seriously? Can you imaging having that name in high school? As an adult? I dunno.
Ich liebe es–and so will all the bullies in his elementary school.
it must be an indian name. so its completely normal to the M.I.A. singer. Pronounced "Ihk-eed"
***hiccup***
Ikhyd or Ickitt. It's spelled different but sounds the same. Poor kid, such an ugly name.
Ok, if I'm not mistaken, she isn't from the U.S. right?! She's form Sri Lanka or something. So what we think is a nice normal name may not be normal for her. And vice versa. Duh.
so, by the logic of most of the bloggers who are talking smack about this name, you would probably think the following names are just as "bad" or "stupid" or "black":
chathu Kasun Dilini Sajith Lakshika gayan Pabasara amila madushani Sampath
Sachini Tharindu Sanduni thilina nimesha Shan Bhagya sanjeewa dilki isuru Ishara
Chaminda KASUNI Roshan Ishanka Saman ruvini Lahiru.
these are all sri lankan names. not everyone in the world names their kids emma, sophia, jenny, ashley, britney, jason, travis, matt, or the like. sometimes i cringe at the ignorance of some people. and to the moron who said MIA is black, you are truly moronic. if you are on this blog, you have at your fingertips a large amount of information. please educate yourself.
similar … still not liking it
poor kid
Really people? You're going to give a woman who's name is Mathangi Arulpragasam shit for naming her son Ikhyde?
Sure, maybe it's a joke because it sounds like "iKid" but it's probably a real name too.
I see many ass kickings in that child's future.
one of the most rediculous names out there not to upstage huckleberry though, celebs are so stupid when it comes to naming their child "let me name my son Pilot it rolls off the tounge" assholes should have their kid taken away ikhyd is just as stupid as moses
I second shomakhang.
Ugly name from quite an ugly woman. Doesn't surprise me.
I googled it and the only results I get relate to MIA. This leads me to believe that Ikhyd is a made up name, not a Sri Lankan name.
And even if it was, it still would have been a terrible choice as the child will grow up in an English speaking environment. This kid will be referred to as Icky a lot. Poor thing.
It's probably pronounced Ick-Heed. Perez, can you learn how to speak English? "we much rather prefer"?
wtf?
Oh my God, it's an oompa loompa.
What a fugly baby.
Re: JCPR – Ugly ass name for an ugly ass baby.
See? It works.
SAME FUCKING THING!!
Re: Taylor – you're gross and you dick smells cheesy
how the hell do you even pronounce that??!!
I LOVE IT! It had future Writer written all over it! Such a literary inspired name!
It's Icky
Re: shomakhang – THANK YOU! It sucks in this day and age you have to spell out common sense to people!!! Glad you have the patience for it because i sure the hell don't! Well played, sir. Well played.
poor poor child, anyway who is mia? she is ugly~ dont quite get why she is famous
Re: Taylor – So in one sentence you are being a racist piece of shit and the next you are trying to advocate against gender mutilation? Sounds like you need to get your head on straight, kid
you're surprised? her name is Mathangi Arulpragasam. you thought she was going to name her kid 'Tom' or something lol . she's not white nor american. the name fits with her ethnicity.
how the hell do you pronounce it?
Re: blankita – Ha!!
I do not think you would be asking that question if you were from Sri Lanka, you twat! Perez Shitton is a real fucktard.
I suppose you wouldn't be asking that question if an Iranian woman gave birth and named it Mohammed, would yah?
Dumb fuck. That is what you get when you write a book and only sold 52 copies. I gave you an allowans cuz I heard it was only 48.
This MIA is also another twat. Same story like the one I heard before:
There was a girl whose name was Malatakinitupo Jones and when she reached the age of 18, she vowed to have her name changed. And so she did.
When she saw her friends they asked her if she had changed her name yet and she replied, "Of course." So, they asked what her new name was. And she replied, "My new name is Malatakinitupo Smith."
I will always remember that girl who name now is M.I.A.
Naming your kid after a trendy music device's ad slogan seems more commercial than bohemian.
unusual names don't automatically make a person unusual & unique.
why can't celebs get that? so superficial & stupid.
morons. i hope the kid gets his ass kicked.
freaky deaky that's what I think of it
maybe it's a joke, could it be that she named the baby "I kid" and is just having a laugh at everyone's expense?
watch…… The Obama Deception
Re: xhollax – its not a sri lankan name
its pretty ignorant for you all to assume that just because she is sri lankan that ikhyd is a sri lankan name!!! ITS NOT
Re: David B. –
"The album's title [Arular] is the political code name used by her father, Arul Pragasam, during the Tamil independence movements, and themes of conflict and revolution feature heavily in the lyrics."
Close, David B. Guess it was a little deeper than just an album name. Just a little.
Poor child got named after Triumph the Insult Comic Dog saying "I kid, I kid"
79, you may be right and I hear that is the right way to pronounce it, too.
ugh, what do you expect. anyone see the grammy's with her gyrating while performing??
I have no idea who Mia is or what she does. I don't care what she named her kid, I do feel sorry for him as he will be laughed at by other kids.
Re: Torontogal –
touche; however, MIA seems to have more hutzpa to get away with a weird name than, say, gwyneth paltrow, for some reason. maybe because MIA is more intelligent than the average celebrity and appears less unaffected by her celebrity, which gives her credibility, imo.
Re: JCPR – …Exactly…WTF!
So, what is he for short… IKHY? …like disgusting? Or maybe pronounced "I–key" Who knows, however you say it, I hope the kid makes it work for him.
Re: Xandria – I'm with you, I think (hope) she's still kidding.
what the fuck, there both basically the same
ugly fucking name
I have always hated this MIA bitch and I feel bad for the kid!
Just another no talent rapper doing what no talent people do…act stupid.
Total Ghetto Trash…. kid will be in jail at 17 name. WTF? Spawn of garbage ….. yields trash.
adorable baby, HORRIBLE name…
madness
WISH THAT WAS MY NAME . SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE WORLD. CUZ NORMAL NAMES SOUND TOO NORMAL .. AINT COOL
Re: KEEFER –
I LIKE UR NAME
Re: shomakhang – go you! glad someone on here is intelligent!
i think wat ever she names her kid is none of ur damn bussiness!
Here's a good one, I remember a couple of years back the Phildelphia Inquire of Phliadelphia magazine printed the year's most ridiculous names given to babies born in the city. Number one was "Shithead" (no lie). It apparently was given to a baby boy whose parents were Indian, and it was supposed to be pronounced sha-teed. Imagine what the poor kid's eventual teachers thought or pronounced when it came to role call.
My name is Itsel, so I personally do find it that weird-
But my name doesnt sound like ickitt so yaa,ROFL.
NUmber 39, your question: Ikhyd? Seriously? Can you imagine having that name in high school? As an adult? I dunno.
The child's name is temporary until he hits his fourth age and it will change to IChild, And then when he turns 18, he will have anohter change to IAdult and if he really did well in his life, then he will be called ILegend. If he turns gay he will be called Ivana. Get it? Good.
err who cares what she names her kid? its her business. Besides he has a few names to fall back on.
I am hoping and praying that you sell at least 8 books tonight to ease your pain and burden. SO you do not have to refund the money back to the publishers. Poor author/ writer. Don't you worry, your ship will soon come in, too. Poor baby twat!
His nickname would still be Icky ;P
looks like the kid is trying to disguise it self already by wearing that toupee
it sounds like "ehh kid"..idk:)
