Our favorite rapper has named her offspring. Born to M.I.A and fiance, musician Benjamin Bronfman, the child is named – hold your breath – “Ickett”
What do you think was behind this decision?*
- Honoring the game of Cricket ?
- Homesickness for the sight of Ikat?
- A concatenation of “Ice Buckett” ?
- A dimunitive for “Half-Tickett”?
Send us your best guesses!
For the lil’ one’s sake I hope he and other weirdly named celebrity spawn : Moses and Apple (Gwyneth Platrow’s kids) Mars Merkaba (Erykah Badu’s daughter), Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa (Lisa Bonet’s son) all become friends for mutual schoolyard protection!
*( If the name is rooted in Sri Lankan tradition, I apologize in advance and will happily take down this post!)
UPDATE: So it *WAS* too good to be true. MIA totally denies naming her baby “Ickitt”( note the new spelling!)
– the rapper writes on her MySpace blog that her “baby is not called Ickitt, Pickit, or Lickit. Thank you very much to all the Hollywood press. He’s a baby, he don’t need press.” (link)
