MI.A’S REAL BABY NAME IS IKHYD NOT ICKITT
According a birth certificate Obtained by TMZ, singer M.I.A’s baby’s name is Ikhyd not Ickitt. According to the document, Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam ak.a M.I.A and her fiance Ben Brewer, named their son Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman.
Just a few weeks ago, M.I.A wrote a note on her personal myspace blog to discredit rumors that she had named her baby Ickitt. She wrote,
“My baby name is not called Ickitt, Pickit or Lickit, Thank You very much to all the Hollywood Press. He’s a baby, he don’t need press! I didn’t release the baby name because i didn’t think it was news! But I will be back with something newsworthy soon, till then, go pick on apple, satchel and moon unit.”
BCK Says: Now that you know the baby’s real name, do you think M.I.A overreacted with her note?








Yuck. The name sounds like either a scientific classification or cosmetic ingredient.
Yes, she over reacted. The name looks like she picked letters out of a hat and put them together. How do you even pronounce that?!
LMAO!!!
thats funny!!
but it does look like random letters put together..

how do you pronounce that
I don’t no whow you even pronouced that name at all.
It looks like you pronounce it “Ick-Id” Which is about the same as Ickitt, so yeah she overreacted.
Sincerely hope that the baby’s name is in recognition of M.I.A’s Sri Lankan roots. If not, then it’s just plain daft.
She’s not American, so maybe the name is native to Sri Lanka.
Maybe the name’s Sri Lankan and that’s why she reacted like that. It’s true how would you pronounce that name.
is it pronounced ichide or ichid
I have NO clue, but I would say Ah-keed or Eye-keed maybe? Just a stab in the dark; a random stab in the dark at that. LOL!
I’m sure the baby name holds major significance or some sort of religious meaning. M.I.A may have overreacted because the name is personal to her.
What’s the difference?
where she goin??? i think i prefer apple lmao
why is she on here? is here hubby black?
I don’t think she overreacted, she’s right, he’s a baby-he don’t need press. And I’m glad MIA is on here, because she’s a person of color (and I personally like the various browns and Black unity) and in case that doesn’t fly with everyone, the baby’s father is half Black. I don’t know about the origin of the name though.
OH NO
Not big on the name but I’ve seen pics of the baby and he is very cute. Maybe he’ll go by the nickname of Ed or something. A lot of guys I know usually go by their middle name because they hate their first name….it happens.
I guess its pronounced ee-kid , ickitt sounds weird
