Babyonce Is Born: Blue Ivy Carter Makes The Internet Self Combust

2. However, it is cute that there is so much thought behind the name. But also kinda weird that it is so tied to their careers. It has been reported that the first name "Blue" is a tribute to his franchise (including a record) called "Blueprint." In more over analyzed reports, blue was the color used in Ancient Egypt to represent the heavens and it supposedly symbolizes inspiration, sincerity and spirituality. And guess what? "Blue" contains four letters, leading me to "Ivy." According to Good Morning America, the couple chose the name “Ivy” because of the significance of the number “4” or Roman numeral “IV.” Both Beyonce and Jay-Z were born on the fourth — Sept. 4 and Dec. 4, respectively. They were also married on April 4, 2008, and Beyonce’s latest album is ”4.” Apparently her mother is also born on the fourth. The name “Ivy” comes from the plant, symbolizing eternity. Greek and Roman societies revered the ivy for its longevity and hardiness and has represented eternal life in numerous religions. And my parents stole my name from my cousin. Go figure.
