Why Blue Ivy??
It sounds like Beyonce and Jay-Z chose their daughter’s name by pulling random words out of hat, but of course there has got to be more to it. After all, this IS the most important baby since Jesus (according to Kanye)!
So how did the music super stars come up with Blue Ivy? Simple, they were inspired by their own art!
The Blue comes from “Blueprint.” As in Z’s 2001 album The Blueprint, or his 2002 record The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse and the new father’s last solo album, The Blueprint 3 that came out in 2009.
The origins the newborn’s middle name may be a little less self involved. Ivy could stand for “IV” aka the Roman numeral for 4. The number is oddly important to the couple: Beyonce’s birthday is Sept. 4, Jay-Z’s is Dec. 4; they got married on April 4; and we hear the couple even has matching “IV” tattoos on their wedding fingers. Also, Beyonce named her latest album 4, which is fitting.
So, though it hasn’t been confirmed, we’re pretty sure the power couple named their baby after their albums. LOL!
Now the real question: what were they smoking when they came up with that name?
