Jay Z tells Gayle King how he and Beyoncé came up with the name Blue Ivy for their first child...
From ET
JAY-Z is pulling back the curtains on one of the greatest mysteries in his relationship with Beyoncé -- the true story behind their daughter's distinctive name, Blue Ivy.
In part two of his interview with Gayle King for CBS Mornings, the 53-year-old global icon revealed that the 11-year-old's name wasn't inspired by a color preference or a carefully orchestrated branding strategy, as some fans have long-speculated. Instead, the name was born from a sweet nickname that came from an early sonogram.
"It was supposed to be Brooklyn," JAY tells King, alluding to the deep personal connection the New York City native maintains with his hometown.
But, as the rapper explains, the couple's initial plan changed as the pregnancy progressed. "We was calling her Blueberry. Like, 'Look at the little blueberry.' You know, it was like a nickname," he recalls. "It just was natural. We just took the berry off and called her Blue."

Good… I like the name Blue better than Brooklyn. Ain’t nothing nice about Brooklyn with all the rats, cockroaches, and homelessness out there.
Kanye named his child Chicago. Jay wanted this child to be Brooklyn. Maybe I should name my future child Detroit.
Blue Ivy really is a cool name. Even though if I were Jay Z & Beyonce that would be her "public" name. The world would not know my kids government names until they put it out there themselves. That's what I really think, her real name probably isn't Blu Ivy Carter. That's just TMI for their status IMO. 🤷
Lies!
Hmmmm, It didn't have anything to do with that woman he use to love named Blu Cantrell??😑😑🤔
1:33 right lies. They said her name came from the blueprint 4. Always lying just like he’s lying that he only has kids with Beyoncé. But what can I say they never talk about Rumi and Sir and those are the actual kids she carried.
What happened to the "Blue Ivy" Tree Beyonce visited while preggo
Who said the name came from Blueprint??? And provide a source please....
I don't believe his story/stories.
Thats funny. We call my niece Lima Jean cause she was the size of a lima bean on her sonogram.
TY 1:58! It's really telling that he has at least 2 other adult children he refuses to claim and B is down with it. Then again, I wouldn't have stayed with a cheater and continued his bloodline further either. That's the EXACT opposite of 'empowering' IMO. Would Jay advise Blue to do the same?
@2:27 He IS Lying.
Maybe the pic in the sonogram was of a blueberry.
2:30 it just shows you of what kind of people they are. He cheats used to sell drugs but no to having kids prior to marrying Beyoncé. They are both garbage.
Kendall google it. The internet is your friend not the Carters
We know that the surrogate was laying on that table if they saw she looked like a blueberry SMH 🤦♀️ the lies
A lie isn’t the only thing ugly here
I read it was
Born
Living
Under
Evil
I forgot was the Ivy part is.
SMH if that born living under evil is true. Selling your soul isn’t going to go well
Jay and Beyonce NEVER said the name came from Blueprint.
Yall lie so much on these folks it's ridiculous. Yall just hate anybody who isn't poor and it's pathetic. Get help.
@5:12 and Beyoncé wrote all of those songs too. You can’t erase interviews
1:14 simmer down with the Brooklyn slander lol! Anyway I thought her name was from her dad’s Blueprint album and Beyoncé’s 4(IV) album. Oops.
the LIES !!
517.....So which interview was it? *incoming excuse*
Hey denial 6:14 we know Beyoncé be in these comments and as you can see most of the people in these comments have sense. You’re just trying to clear up the lies. At least Donald Trump will eventually tell on himself even though he cries day and night that he did nothing wrong. Why won’t you answer the question about Camel’s other kids
"We was calling her Blueberry." He's so well spoken. NOT! This is the alleged billionaire folks idolize? I guess.
I agree with all the sensible, non-ass kissing comments. The origin of the name has been tweaked and twisted for PR purposes, which is why they can't keep their stories straight. On top of that, notice how he never comes out and says it was Beyonce's sonogram. He kept it real general referring to the pregnancy progression so that sonogram could've been anybody's. But I'm sure yodel was sitting right next to whoever's belly was actually getting the jelly.
6:54 yes everything is smoke and mirrors with these two and I’m sure between the two of them neither one of them can spell sonogram or surrogate
LiAR!! The color blue in hz is 6.66 which is also why nothing blue burned in that so called wild fire that 2k children went missing yayaya same old devil worshiping crap....did she ask who gonna name his wig???☕📃💩🧟🧌🐍🐍
@1:58 bey Didn't carry any of those kids go back n look again at those pics especially the ones from May 5 n Kelly face bey can't give birth that was the big secret NO CAP
I swear it is the same 3 stans going back and forth with the same 2 haters on every Carter post lol
Even if Jay does have "other" children whats your point? He isnt obligated to share that information with your nosy a$$. Furthermore you dont know what kind of agreement he has with the child's mother(s). Maybe they dont want you nutjobs to know about their children, so they can have a normal childhood and not be stalked and harassed.
10:49 u can’t be serious? Why is Raymir every where trying to get camel to take a dna test if he wants privacy?
How do you know that's JAY Z son?
What proof did Rymir have to support his story? He aint even have any pics of his mom and Jay together. His mom was most likely a prostitute who ran through 10-20 guys a month because how else do you explain your son being 33 and still not having confirmation of his Daddy? Most women have papers to prove paternity before the baby turns 2 unless you're a stone cold erohW.
My comment was deleted because snitch aka Sandra Rose cant handle the truth. Lmaooooooooo
Weak bitch
Raymir is a grown azz man who can take care of himself. What does he hope to accomplish if he gets the answer he's looking for? Jay won't support another grown azz man and he won't put him in his will. He needs to grow up and blame his mama for his drama. Unfortunately this is the result of unwanted, out-of- wedlock pregnancies. His mama should have established paternity when he was a child.
Blue Ivy is a cool name. I don’t understand the hatred. You all are doing too much. It’s not that deep.
Won’t be watching that interview..
@3:19pm, I think I heard that before too
Who named his oldest son?
Who named his oldest daughter?
