Jay-Z and Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy almost had a very different name
Jay-Z and Beyonce shocked the world when the singer announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. And they were again taken aback by her unique name when she arrived five months later on January 7, 2012.Now, the proud dad is revealing what the couple initially were going to name the 11-year-old.“It was supposed to be Brooklyn,” Jay-Z, 53, told Gayle King during a “CBS Mornings” clip, which was released on Friday.The moniker would have been a special nod to the New York City borough where the record producer was born. The pair, however, ultimately went for Blue because they called her “Blueberry” when the “Drunk in Love” musician was still pregnant.“You know, it was like a nickname,” he told King, 68.
