When Jay-Z Revealed His And Beyonce’s Daughter Was Supposed To Have THIS Name Instead Of Blue Ivy

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the journey of Jay-Z and Beyonce as parents is nothing short of inspiring. Their candidness about their personal choices, such as naming their daughter Blue Ivy Carter, provides a refreshing insight into their lives. It’s fascinating to learn that Blue Ivy wasn’t initially supposed to be named Brooklyn, but rather evolved from the tender nickname “Blueberry.”


Over the course of their years in the spotlight, power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce have been featured frequently in headlines. One notable instance was when they shared details about naming their eldest child. It turns out that initially, they had chosen a different name for their daughter rather than Blue Ivy Carter, as Jay-Z once disclosed.

In 2023, during an intimate conversation with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, I, a passionate fan, found myself reflecting on the incredible journey of my idol, Jay-Z. He opened up about the tale behind naming their firstborn, Blue Ivy, revealing that Brooklyn was initially their chosen name, symbolizing my hero’s roots where he was born and raised. “It was meant to be Brooklyn,” the 54-year-old shared with King, a testament to the deep connection between him and his hometown.

As the pregnancy progressed, a loving nickname for the baby emerged, inspired by the small image on the sonogram, which resembled a blueberry: “We began calling her Blueberry. It was like, ‘Look at the little blueberry,'” the rapper from Young Forever explained. Over time, this name flowed more easily and eventually, they dropped the “berry” and simply referred to their daughter as Blue.

A popular theory among fans suggested that Blue Ivy’s name had ties to Jay-Z’s renowned album series, Blueprint. However, this assumption has been debunked, as it was actually derived from heartfelt moments between Beyoncé and Jay-Z during her pregnancy. For approximately nine months, they affectionately called the unborn child “Blueberry,” a loving nickname that eventually became her official name.

Even though Renegade singer didn’t provide a clue about the meaning behind Blue Ivy’s middle name, fans have speculated that it might be linked to the number four, as this number seems to hold significant importance for both Beyoncé and the rapper, as their birthdays are on the 4th (September 4 and December 4).

It’s worth noting that a year after her birth in 2012, Blue Ivy was trademarked by her parents. On the other hand, they have chosen to keep their younger children, Sir and Rumi, away from the public eye.

In another part of the interview, the artist behind “Empire State of Mind” expressed his joy at being a “trendy parent” to Ivy. He playfully mentioned that she once acted a little aloof towards him, but now he can often find her secretly watching him. He shared that she’s started asking him if certain things are cool, such as her sneakers.

As a devoted partner to my wife, who I’ve shared 16 wonderful years with, I take pride in our “cool” dynamic as a family. Jokingly, I’d say we’re the epitome of coolness, often reminding our daughter of her fortunate upbringing, boasting that she has “cool parents.”

The rapper spoke about his delight in watching daughter Ivy perform alongside her mom, Beyoncé, during their shows for “My Power.” Seeing Ivy on stage inspires him greatly, as he admitted that he still experiences shivers every time she takes the spotlight. As Jay-Z put it, she’s living a life she didn’t choose.

1. “Ivy has been subjected to close observation, even concerning how a young girl styles her hair, he mentioned. However, he expressed immense pride as she confidently walked on stage to regain her power. Notably, the song is titled ‘My Power,’ and the rapper believes that no script could be more fitting for Ivey as she conquered her stage jitters.”
