Beyoncé checked into the Lenox Hill Hospital in Harlem last night and gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter. This is their first child.
They rented out the entire fourth floor for $1.3 million so the “Crazy in Love” singer could deliver in (relative) peace. Although, neither Jay-Z or Beyonce has officially confirmed the birth, but several of their celebrity friends — including Russell Simmons and Rihanna — have tweeted about it. And the Daily News notes that celebrations seemed to be underway at the hospital on Saturday night, as bags of take-out food and bottles of red wine were apparently brought to the floor Beyonce, Jay-Z and little Blue Ivy had occupied.
The hospital reportedly placed tape on its security cameras and asked employees to turn in their cell phones in order to protect the couple’s privacy.
Of course, now that the baby is here, it’s a matter of seconds, really, before pictures of the wee infant leak online. And naturally, the proffering of opinions about the child’s name is already in progress.
This isn’t the first time a variation on the color Blue has showed up in a celebrity baby name. Last year, Alicia Silverstone named her son Bear Blu, a moniker we dubbed the weirdest famous baby name of 2011.
But Blue as a first name for a girl — accompanied by the very cute Ivy — seems less odd. Do you agree? Are you pro- or con- the name? And are you able to contain your excitement about the fact that the future Princess of Hip-Pop has arrived on this planet and will soon be bathing in a Swarovski crystal tub and playing in her luxury nursery? Please weigh in by posting a comment.
