Jay-Z & Beyonce's Baby Name Sparks Questions

By Michael Lopez

Only celebrities at the level of Beyonce and Jay-Z could spark this much attention over a baby name. But two days after the birth of the couple's daughter Blue Ivy, gossip blogs are on fire over the origins of the mysterious nombre.

The New York Daily News had some interesting theories about the Blue Ivy moniker. They believe papa Jay's smash 2001 record The Blueprint had something to do with it. A turning point in Hova’s career, the album also included several references to the word "blue" in its lyrics.

As far as Ivy goes, people are guessing mama Beyonce had some influence with that. Her latest album was titled 4, which in Roman numerals stands as "IV." Bey also claims that the number holds a major significance in her life.

"We all have special numbers in our lives, and four is that for me," she said in a previous interview. "It's the day I was born, my mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays are on the fourth. April 4 is my wedding date."
