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

Posted Mar 23rd 2009 2:06AM by TMZ Staff

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.

76. Stop giving this attention-crazy ding bat publicity. No body cares about her.

77. I'm sure growing up with a name like Ick-Hide will not cause her kid any emotional problems.

78. #66,

where you under the impression that I was really going to look up the name Ikhyd to confirm that it's not the same as callin someone "Ickitt"?

Well I didn't. I just heard the name, put racism and prejudice aside, accepted the fact that someone (who's not even American) dared not to give their child an American name, and moved on with my life.

81. Ikhyd is not a sri lankan name, i am from there so i should know. most sri lankan names are derived from Sanskit, an ancient Indian language.

84. tmz is just a vanity project for a loser with short man syndrome to act like a big shot surrounded by sycophants and get his face on tv.

85. It's disappointing how just because a name doesn't sound so American, some people automatically think it's really weird. Well, the world is filled with different cultures and therefore, different kinds of names.

86. IKHYD sounds like a terrorist. He will be thoruoghly checked when he travels by air.
Specially with her mom's interest in terrorism in Sri Lanka.
