And so, if the reports are true, the double spawn of Bey and Jay are Rumi and Sir, two unique names indeed.
Rumi was a 13th-century Persian mystic who wrote beautiful love sonnets; “Sir” is a title given to those in the British Empire who have distinguished themselves, and apparently to children who are going to be beat up on playgrounds (jokes).
