M.I.A.‘s Real Baby Name Revealed

After media reports claimed that M.I.A. named her newborn boy “Ickitt”, the British-born Sri Lanken rapper/singer has finally released her baby’s full name.

M.I.A. named her son Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, according to the child’s birth certificate obtained by Access Hollywood.

Ikhyd was welcomed into the world at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on February 11, 2009 by the “Paper Planes” singer, whose full name is Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam, and her fiance, Benjamin Bronfman, just days after her Grammy performance.

M.I.A. took to her blog to combat speculations of her son’s name in early March.

“MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH,” she said. “HES A BABY, HE DONT NEED PRESS!”
