M.I.A's Real (Crazy) Baby Name

We got our hands on singer M.I.A's new baby's birth certificate and, as she disputed on her blog, the baby's name is not Ickitt. That's just ridiculous, who in their right mind would name their baby that? The real name happens to be Ikhyd.

M.I.A.
According to the document, Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam officially named her son Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, common spelling.

Another interesting fact -- baby faced M.I.A's birth date is listed as 7/18/75 which makes her real age 33.

47. in response to #40...

"To those of you who are alleging xenophobia ... is Ikhyd a normal name in any culture or country ? I can't find any evidence of it, and I'll bet you can't either."

First of all, did you even look? (or did you just google the name and see how many results came up?) and I doubt that in the full 5 minutes of your "research" you can know what's normal in EVERY Culture in EVERY Country in the ENTIRE WORLD. I think you just further proved my point about Americans thinking they know EVERYTHING while comfortably sitting in their bubble of ignorance all at the same time. I love my country but I think some of us need to wake up!

48. ""38. That's the thing about non-Americans, every time an American gives an opinion about something, non-Americans get bent out of shape and think that Americans are better that them. All you non-Americans should get thicker skins and maybe things like this wouldn't bother you.

52. Welcome to the world outside of Emerika, we all think Emerikans are arogant assholes, thanks for proving us right TMZ. This website is Emerikan Douche Central

53. These people who name their children these ridiculous names should change their own damned name and not subject their kids to a lifetime jokes.

54. See, Obama, this is what a "Birth Certificate" looks like!

55. I think the point here is if the name had some kind of sacred meaning then why lie about it! Instead of saying I would never name my child that.... own up to and be proud! Some are saying that it is an Indian name and it has some meaning well isn't a slap in the face for her to post and say that the name is ridiculous?

57. "i have a baby, cool! so I'll just type randomly on the key bored and name him whatever will come up!"

that's what it looks like she was thinking about when she named her baby gbdfjgfkl
that or she's on some serious drugs
poor kid...

58. That woman makes me laugh! I guess her "rap" angle is related to some sort of Pakistani political cause which is supposed to make her seem "cool" and "militant"? Funny then that her baby's father is Jewish and very very wealthy. What a poser, lol. Nobody in the western hemisphere really has an interest in her, though. And why is it that whenever Asians (especially S. Asians) try to appear cool, they just end up looking even dorkier? Funny stuff.

59. Why should she name her a kid an american name... if kids in school can't accept it then forget them. Look at her real name... it's not Sarah or Jane. It's a Sri Lankan name with a meaning.

60. How come TMZ has'nt said anything about M.I.A.'s support of Terrorist groups like the Tamil Tigers, of which her father was a known member
