Following in the theme of their previous two boys, RZA and Riot, they have also named the new child with an ‘R’ name.
The new addition is called Rocki Irish Mayers, in reference to the dad, Rocky.
The celebrity couple also shared an image with little pink boxing gloves supposedly pointing out the link between the new child’s name and the iconic fictional boxer, Rocky Balboa.
But what are Riri’s and Rocky’s real names, so we can see if the inspiration comes from elsewhere?
Here are all the details.
What is Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s real names?
The ‘Wild Thoughts’ singer is known for going by her iconic first name, drawing a similarity to other divas, Beyoncé, Shakira, and Cher.
Her full birth name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
This may surprise some fans, as Rihanna is her real name, even though it is her middle name.
Of course, her company, Fenty Beauty, takes after her family name.
Rocky, on the other hand, is slightly different.
His full name is Rakim Athelston Mayers.
So, the new baby girl is named after a variation of the rapper’s stage name, as opposed to his real name.
However, that being said Riri herself refers to him as Rocky, so it is clearly a heartfelt name that holds a lot of love for their newest child.
