Love It or Hate It? Rihanna's Unusual Choice for Baby Name Raises Eyebrows

Social media users have shared their thoughts on the reported decision by Rihanna and A$AP Rocky to name their son after a member of the Wu-Tang Clan. "Imagine naming your baby after someone else's stage name," one person tweeted. But as they say, Wu-Tang is for the children. Just about a year after the birth of their son, sources have revealed that his name is RZA, a possible nod to the iconic rapper, producer, and frontman of Wu-Tang Clan.

According to the Daily Mail, which claims to have obtained the Fenty heir's birth certificate, the baby boy's full name is RZA Athelston Mayers. His last name is the same as his father's, with his middle name also being Athelston, but with one missing "A."

What are others reading:

While RZA is not as outlandish as X AE A-XII (the name of Elon Musk and Grimes' son), it's still an unconventional choice. Some fans have pointed out that even the original RZA's birth name was not RZA; the 53-year-old musician was actually named Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, and he later adopted RZA as his stage name.

As a result, fans have mixed feelings about the name. While some appreciate the Wu-Tang Clan tribute and have praised the name's uniqueness on Twitter, others believe it's a little too unconventional. "Imagine naming your baby after someone else's stage name," one critic wrote. "Rihanna named her baby RZA. After RZA from Wu Tang. That's not even HIS name, it's Robert."

On the other hand, some fans have embraced the name and are using it as inspiration for suggestions for Rihanna and Rocky's next child. "So Rihanna's son is named RZA and someone suggested naming the new baby Ghostface Killah," joked one fan, referring to another member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
