While fans of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are extremely excited about the coupleβs baby boy coming into the world, weβre still awaiting the news on what they will ultimately name him.
Suggested Reading
While speaking to press at her most-recent Savage X Fenty fashion show, the βLift Me Upβ singer was asked about their plans to share their sonβs name with the world. But, to no surprise, Rihanna gave nothing for fans to chew on, saying, βWe just didnβt get around to it yet, really. Weβve just been living.β
She continued, βBut I guessβ¦thereβs a certain freedom that comes with, kind of just like, getting it out there. The challenge is we want to do regular shit with our baby. We want to go to the park. We want to go everywhere, and take walks, and things that we want to do as parents with him. But since we havenβt gotten around to sharing him with the world, we have to navigate it extremely, extremely cautiously right now.β
Obviously this is all understandable and reasonable, but that doesnβt mean some of us at The Root canβt speculate what the name of their newly born boy baby is:
Noah A. McGee: βReportedly, Rihanna wants her Barbados culture and A$APβs family roots in her baby boyβs name. So based on my google searches of common names from Barbados, Iβm going to go with Victor. Rihanna and A$AP are both winning in life, so it makes sense to give their son a name that represents that.
Vanessa De Luca: βIβm going to suggest Winston, which means βjoyful stone.β Somehow combining joy, which is Rihanna, with stone, which is Rocky (ahem) makes sense to me.:
Shanelle Genai: βI feel like it may be something off the wall but edgy. She has a son so Iβm thinking of something like Knight or maybe Rakim if she wants to make him a junior.β
Candace McDuffie: βItβs highly unlikely, but I want this baby to be named Fenty Rakim Mayers.β
Tatsha Robertson: βI kind of agree with Candace. It could be something like Fenty or Fen. Or, what about something like Rain. Oh man, thatβs fitting. Rain. Umbrella ..lala..la. Ok, forget I mention it.β
