sometimes in the chaotic trials of trying to keep up on the latest and greatest celebrity comings-and-goings, one makes mistakes and writes about things that turn out to be lies, lies, lies, yeahhh.
full disclosure: apparently M.I.A.'s newborn is NOT named Ickitt. in fact, she has downright refused to release the name of her and hubby Benjamin's son. double-in-fact, she has now officially said she thinks the name Ickitt is 'fucking disgusting' and a bunch of other dirty new mom words. I am disappointed. I thought this name was neat, MIA-esque, and next levs weird. for now you can just enjoy, below, my wonderful rendering of what I imagine the former-baby-Ickitt to look like. girl, you know it's true!
even fuller disclosure, demi and michael douglas steez: Mark D, of Mark D fame, said he had a bone to pick with me the other day. my chest tightened as I thought he was going to call me out on the box of girl scout cookies I basically filched from him, but thankfully not. I love talking about baby names and name origins and whatnot, and I have very publicly and loudly disparaged fake names. technically all names are made up, obvs, but I'm talking about gross ones like Lacy, or Dustin. I have a list of names I hate, but that's mean so I'll keep it to myself. I prefer older names with specific roots. Mark D said my fawning over Ickitt clearly broke this rule, and he is right. in fact, in my quest to hopefully prove MD wrong (one of my favorite hobbies), I entered Ickitt into the babynames.com database. the results: Ickitt: created name, son of rapper MIA. barf! clearly labelled a 'created name' and also now proved to be a lie.
sigh. I now fear if and when the true name comes out, it's gonna be a lamesauce name like Matthew or something. if MIA doesn't name her kid something locosauce, who will?
well actually, Lisa 'Boner' Bonet of Cosby Show, Lenny Kravitz and High Fidelity fame just named her newbie son Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. and my spell-checker just ESPLODED!
p.s. on babynames.com you can create a saved personal list of favs, with the future baby's last name included, but since that's super creepy jr. and I'd rather not guess my hubby's last name, I'll just let you in on a few of my personal faves:
Lucy, Simon, Leroy, Amelia, Hans, Alice, Henry, Ross, Serj, Bernadette.
but anyway, this throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
