The Wait is Over... It's A Girl
Okay the wait is finally over Beyonce' has finally delivered her baby its not a drill this time this is the real deal. She has always said that she would have her first child when she turned 30 and I guess she was right. Jay-Z is becoming a father for the second time he has a son from a previous relationship although this is his first child with wife Beyonce'. The couple welcomed a baby girl named Blue Ivy Carter. Two days after the birth of his daughter Jay-Z has released a song called "Glory" referring to miscarriage and his daughters cries as she is being born.
Okay so I know you are all wondering what's the meaning behind the name? Well here it is.
The obvious, Jay-Z's franchise albums have been called the Blueprint. Blue consists of 4 letters which can be linked to Beyonce's love for the number four, and a tribute to her husband.
As far as the color blue, it's considered the coolest color of the spectrum. Ancient Egyptians used blue to represent the heavens. Blue also symbolizes the Virgin Mary. The color represents inspiration, sincerity and spirituality.
Next, let's break down the middle name, Ivy. Beyonce has gone on record saying how important the number "4" is to her. She told Billboard Magazine, "We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. 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."
With the number being so special to her, it makes sense that she would incorporate her favorite number into her child's name.
Ivy contains the roman numeral IV as it's first two letters, which we all know is the number 4. Also Beyonce' was born on September 4th and Jay-Z was born on December 4th. The name itself Ivy comes from the plant which symbolizes eternity. Greek and Roman societies admired the ivy plant for its hardiness and longevity. They believed the plant aided fertility.
After reading that I hope that explains the name I actually like the name now that I know all of this. Congrats having children is a great thing and provides your life with more purpose.
