It's Grey Okay!: Cardi B Leaks Baby's Name?

According to 📰All Access Media (🔊@ 2:00)🎤rapper Cardi B seemingly leaked 🫠 her 4th child's name — via a post of the beautiful 💎bracelet that contains her other children's names.

The bracelet in question originally has the names of 📛Kulture😎 📛Wave🌊and 📛Blossom🌸:

But in Cardi's new snapshot of it, there is a new name: 📛Grey!🩶

If 📛Grey or 📛Greyson (I love this one more because of the 'son' 💙 part) is Cardi's second son's name I am on pins and needles wanting to know the origin story of it! Also, why not go with📛Gray? 🤔 

Cardi last year commented that her son's name was "cute" when fans thought it was Liem. If 📛Grey or 📛Greyson is his name, it is really cute, especially if grey is her favorite color or her son's father.👌🏾

JD Vance Announces Name Of His Newborn Son

The Vice President of the United States of America, JD Vance, recently shared on Instagram the arrival of his fourth child with wife Usha Vance — a son named: 📛Alec Neel 💙 

The writer of the piece of the historic presidential baby name announcement says: "the choice may feel classic, the name Alec is far less common than it once was," and points out, "Alec’s arrival is also a rare moment in modern U.S. political history. He is the first child born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years. The last vice president to welcome a child while in office was Schuyler Colfax, whose son was born in 1870. Alec joins older siblings Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and 4-year-old Mirabel."

📛Nameberry🍒's all-about-the-name 📛Alec:

I've always loved the name 📛Alexander 👌🏾 or any diminutive of it, so I think 📛Alec is a great name,  ✔strong (although less serious than its lengthy original name) but ✔chic (a cooler version of the already cool 😎 nickname 📛Alex). 

☔📛IRN RATING OF 📛Alec: 👍 OR 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙/10

📑Apparently, there's rumors that baby Alec's name was initially intended to something different yet very familiar to us all... Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice hears the newborn almost had a very different—and far more political— name. “J.D. floated the idea of naming the baby 📛Donald,” one Washington insider tells Naughty But Nice. “He thought it would be the ultimate tribute to President Trump. J.D. knows the President appreciates loyalty, and he believed it would be a meaningful gesture.” According to sources, Usha wasn’t buying it. “She shut it down—politely, but firmly,” another insider reveals. “Usha wanted their son’s name to reflect their family, not make a political statement. She wasn’t about to turn her newborn into a headline before he could even walk.” 

😬 One 📛Donald in the White House (actually there are three 🤯 total: Trump, one of Trump's son's name is Donald Jr. and JD Vance's middle name is Donald! 🥴) is enough. 😅

As for Alec Vance's middle name: 📛Neel — it is a Hindi name that means "💎sapphire blue." Second Lady Usha Vance is Indian and Neel is a nice name to pay homage to her heritage. 

☔📛IRN RATING OF 📛Neel: 👍 OR 💙💙💙💙💙💙/10  

NAME OF THE DAY: Golden

The 🏆winner of the 152nd Kentucky Derby was 📢announced as: 🐎Golden Tempo. The polished name grabbed my attention. 👀 But I quickly remembered that name is familiar because there is a well-known human named: Golden — Golden Brooks — the actress known for her feisty role as Maya Wilkes on the ⏪00s 📺tv show Girlfriends 👩🏽👩🏽👩🏾👩🏿. So today I will talking about the brazen color name: 📛Golden. 

Golden the word is of English origin meaning: "bright, metallic or lustrous like gold; of the color of gold; yellow." Behind The Name believes it is from Old English gyldan "made of gold" or the surname Golden, originally given as a nickname to someone with blond 👱‍♀👱 hair. Several examples of 📛Golden have been noted from late 19th-century records, and one occurrence in 1915. Modern form of the name, very rarely used, appears to be 📛Goldie and 📛Golda.

📛Nameberry🍒 says, "like Silver, Golden is a shimmering, metallic color name. It could work as an unexpected route to the vintage nickname Goldie or a less floral alternative to Marigold." 📛NB🍒 also says, "around 100 babies were called Golden in the latest stats, when it appeared as a gender neutral choice." It is currently #977 on US Top 1000. 

📍Sunny California (where Golden Brooks was born) fittingly and 📍Utah are where the most Goldens live.

I like the name 📛Golden – it's 🔆bright and bold. 💥 I remember when I first heard of Golden Brooks decades ago, I thought her name was a stage name. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I like 📛Golden more so for a 💗girl's name than a boy but a 💙boy named 📛Golden is still gold. 👌🏾

NAME OF THE DAY: Emerald

St. 🍀Patrick's Day is right around the corner — the infectiously fun, green 💚 themed holiday where on 📅March 17, "everyone is Irish" — originating obviously in Ireland "where St. 🍀Patrick’s Day has been a religious feast day since the 17th century and a public holiday since 1903."

Ireland is nicknamed "The Emerald Isle" because of the country's greenery — initially referring to Ireland as such in the celebrated poem 📃'When Erin First Rose' by William Drennan.

So to get into the spirit of St. Paddy's Day approaching 🎉 I will talk about the lush name: 📛💚Emerald

💚"Emerald is of Persian origin meaning "green,"" 📛Nameberry🍒 explains. 💚"Emerald is the intriguing color and jewel name of the deep green stone treasured as far back as ancient Egypt — it's supposed to open one's heart to wisdom and to love and be good for strengthening relationships — which could make for an interesting, unusual name, particularly with the popularity of so many Em-starting names. 💚Emerald is the birthstone of May, making it extra appropriate for a girl born in that month." 

👶Baby 💙boys have also been named 💚Emerald. I don't like 💚Emerald however as a 💙boy's name unless perhaps it's the middle 📛name.

📛NB🍒 reports that 💚Emerald ranks #707 in the US Top 1000. 

📍California & 📍District of Columbia are where the most 💚Emeralds live in the United States. 

📍Seattle, Washington is nicknamed 'The Emerald City' for "its abundant parks and greenbelts, which give it a vibrant, lush appearance year-round."

A variant of 💚Emerald is 📛Esmeralda (means 💚"emerald" in Spanish).

I really like the name 📛💚Emerald — it's very beautiful (whether chosen for a 🌈color or 💎jewel name — or to honor one's Irish heritage) and has a certain, sparkling✨ charm to it.

NAME OF THE DAY: Ebony

To end ✊🏾Black History Month, I wanted to discuss the divisive name: 📛🖤Ebony —  and how despite how bold the name is and how controversial (being called "an ebony" because of one's skin tone 🤦🏾‍♀️ not because it's your name 😬)  it can be — it still has been a popular first name choice for Black 👶🏿 baby girls 💗 since the 1970s. ⏪

Ebony is a color 🖤 name and is described by 🌈Color Psychology🧠 as: "a dark, rich color that represents depth, elegance, and sophistication. It’s a shade that is often associated with luxury, power, and mystery. The hex code for Ebony is #555D50, and its RGB values are (85, 93, 80), symbolizing a hue that is deep and grounding."

Ebony as a word via Dictionary.com:

Ebony is also a nature name, being it is a tree 🌳: "The black ebony tree (Diospyros ebenum), native to Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, is one of the rarest and most valuable hardwood species in the world. Black ebony wood is prized for its deep, jet-black color, fine texture, and exceptional density —this wood is ideal for musical 🎹 instruments, luxury furniture, and fine carvings." 

Ebony the word is from the Egyptian word hbnj.

Nameberry🍒 points out that Ebony has "historically been particularly popular in the African-American community" and compliments Ebony as an "attractive and now underused" name. "Ebony joined the most popular girl names list in the US in the early 1970s, peaked 📈 in 1982 at #132, and dropped back below 📉 the Top 1000 in 2006. The name Ebony 📈peaked for boys 💙 at #1658 in 1982." As of current, Ebony is #960 on US ⬆Top 📊1000.  

The 📍District of Columbia and 📍New Jersey are the states where the most women named Ebony live. I knew a girl named Ebony (who was as popular as her name) in middle 🏫school [📍NYC], right around the time when 📛Ebony was regaining traction on the name charts 📈 in the 1980s. 

I like the name 📛Ebony. 👌🏾 I really love color names and 📛Ebony can be a 🖤 beautiful, powerful 💪🏿 name to have if you're an African American woman (btw, there can be / are non-Black women named Ebony 🙃 click here & click here 😮). I don't like 📛Ebony for a 💙 boy's name 😕 however (I'd recommend these cool 😎 names that are the equivalence of "black": 📛Jet, 📛Obsidian, 📛Onyx, 📛Midnight, 📛Noir or 📛Raven even). 

Variants for 📛Ebony include: 📛Eboni 📛Ebonie and 📛Ebonee. I find all of these more playful  and cuter 🥰 than the more ✔strong, ✔sleek and ✔original 📛Ebony.

NAME OF THE DAY: Garnet

📛Garnet is a 💎gemstone (for the precious stone, the birthstone of 📅January) and 🌈color name (derived from Middle English gernet meaning "dark red"). 

📛Nameberry🍒 classifies Garnet as, "one of the jewel names in use a hundred years ago, due for revival along with sisters Ruby and Pearl." Garnet ranks #956 on the US Top 1000 📛 name 📊 chart.

A variant of Garnet includes:📛Garnette. Garnet can also be spelled with two t's: 📛Garnett and used as a boy's name. Garnet can also be a surname.📛 

Garnets live mainly in 📍Ohio and 📍West Virginia. 

I really like the name 📛Garnet as I'm 📅January born. 🎂 I'm a big fan of birthstone names in general however. And Garnet is one of the more unusual, less 💎jewel names 📛📃used — unfortunately — because it's a great name. I see 📛Garnet as a unisex name but it leans towards it being a boy's 💙 name more so in my eyes. I absolutely love the cute, alt spelled 📛Garnette if used for a girl. 💗

NAME OF THE DAY: Birgundi

Color first names are always really fun and cool. 😎 Nameberry has a lot to say on colorful names: "Color names for babies have been around for a while, with Amber, Violet, and Rose the longest-standing members of the genre. Today, though, there are a 🌈rainbow of color names for both girls and boys, many of them gender-neutral names. Color names for babies range from the obvious -- Blue and Scarlett -- to the most exotic, from Azure to Zinc. The top color names for babies are mostly for girls, with Ruby, Scarlett, Hazel, and Violet all popular in the US. Unique color names for babies that strike the right tone include Amethyst, Blue, Clover, Gray, Indigo, Lavender, Lilac and Steel."

Speaking of unique color names that can also be a first name, is the deep, wine 🍷 color: 📛Burgundy. Better yet, the name 📛Birgundi. Birgundi is a real name (Birgundi Baker is an actress, singer and dancer who wears this beautiful name) — a variation of the color/place (France ) /name 📛Burgundy. 📍Louisiana and surprisingly 📍Hawaii are the states where the most Burgundys live. 

I love the name 📛Birgundi (or the original 📛Burgundy) — the 'i's' (📛Burgundi with one 'i' is another variation) in it gives it a more playful feel. 🤗 Birgundi really is a one-of-a-kind name 👌🏾 and I'm sure Baker's 📛name story 📕 is a truly rich one.

NAME OF THE DAY: Scarlett

With actress Scarlett Johansson's new movie Jurassic World Rebirth movie out, today I am discussing the fiery name: 🔥Scarlett    

📛Scarlett surprisingly is a surname originally. A Scarlett: "denoted a person who sold or made clothes made of scarlet, a kind of cloth, possibly derived from Persian سقرلاط (saqrelāṭ)."   

Scarlett Johansson's rise around 2003, is a reason for the rise of of Scarlett given to girls. As of 2024 it's the 27th most popular baby girl name. I'm kind of surprised it's almost in the top 20 list for girls. I thought the unique 'S' girl name that seems to be "everywhere": 📛Sierra, would outshine Scarlett. Sierra is #596 in popularity yet I've met a Sierra before but never a Scarlett. 🤔 California followed by North Carolina is where the most Scarletts reside. I assumed Georgia, as that is where Scarlett Johansson's namesake from the classic film Gone with the Wind was set in.    

I think of more than the color scarlet when I think of the name Scarlett. I think of someone whose very alluring... 😊 But Johansson and her sometimes suggestive movie roles are probably to thank for that. 👏🏾  

I'm a fan of the name 📛Scarlett. 👍🏾👍🏾 ✔I like color names, ✔'S' names and Scarlett is just perfect. 🔟

📛Scar

💭I like the gender neutral form, Scar. It definitely sounds more masculine. It could be a cool name for a boy to have, if used especially because of association with the movie character, Scarface. 😎

It's Jack Blues

Complex reposted on Instagram a photo of singer Justin Bieber and his son captioning it: Justin and Jack Blue Bieber 💙

However, Bieber had to correct the misspelling of his son's name commenting on the post: It's Jack Blues 🖕🏻 

😅 

I'm sure it was an honest mistake on Complex's part. I initially put Blue instead of 📛Blues on my own post on the 🌈colorful/musical 🎵 name.

But I get it. 👌🏾 I get defensive when my name is misspelled. 😤 I can imagine that would extend 💯% to if I had a child and their name was misspelled.
