A Healthy Baby Girl Named...What?

So I just read that Beyonce and Jay Z had a beautiful healthy baby girl, and I am so happy for them.  I completely ignored the rumors saying that she wasn’t pregnant, or it really wasn’t his baby because it seems like paparazzi and tabloids will say anything to get a story, regardless of whether it’s true or not, or even how it will affect the people it’s about.  Why is it that when celebrities are happy and doing well, they always have to spread some gossip to make it seem as if something is amiss in their world?  Don’t they know that karma comes back around, and that nothing good ever comes out of the rumor mill?  I mean, is it that important to sell a story, no matter the cost?  I’m sorry, I’m getting off topic here, paparazzi just make me so mad, the way they inject themselves into peoples lives, causing mayhem, chaos and discourse wherever they are.  Anyway, I just wanted to give a shout out to B and J, and even though I’m sure they don’t read my blog (I wish!), I know they appreciate all the well wishes from their fans.  And as much as I love the both of them, I cannot believe they named their daughter Blue Ivy. 

While I understand the significance behind the “Ivy” part, I have no clue why the first part of her name is Blue.  What, is that their favorite color or something?  And even if it is, why would you name your child that?  Why would anybody name their kid a color?  That’s like those people who name their kid after cars, or days of the week or months of the year.  It’s like they couldn’t come up with something original, so they thought they’d do something everybody else had done.  And why does she need two first names? Or is Ivy supposed to be her middle name?  What is it with celebrities giving their kids completely outrageous names? They think because their famous nobody will say anything about it?  Coco, Apple, Pilot Inspektor, these are completely ridiculous (and a bit stupid) names for a child.  And it’s like they don’t even think about the impact these names will have on the kids when they get older and have to go out into the world.  Hey, they may be famous and all, but they can still get teased about their name just like any other kid.  Now I’m not by any means saying to give them a boring normal name such as Brittany or Michael cause really, how many more of them do we need in this world?  But there’s a fine line between unique and weird, and many celebrities have gone far and beyond that boundary many times over.  So while I am happy for B and J, that their daughter came into this world safe and sound, I have to say I’m appalled at their name choice for their baby girl.  You know think two big names of their caliber could come up with something better.  But I guess in the end, they’re still just human, like the rest of us.
