Rihanna consistently opts for unconventional baby names, so if past trends continue, her third child with A$AP Rocky may be given a particularly surprising name.
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but marvel at this iconic mom who stunned us all by announcing her first pregnancy during her headlining performance at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show. But it’s not just that one moment that keeps me in awe; she continues to astonish fans with daring decisions for her sons, RZA (age 3) and Riot (age 2).
The two names caused a stir on the internet upon their unveiling, and baby name analysts predict that her upcoming choice will be equally distinctive.
Consultant and popular TikToker Colleen Slagen confidently shared with DailyMail.com that if she were to make a wager on the name of Rihanna’s baby girl, her guess would lean towards a choice that is ‘unconventional, surprising, and musically-inspired.’
Slagen stated his strongest hypotheses as Rox, Roby, Rio, and Rae. He also mentioned that the possibility of Rihanna’s real first name, Robyn, could lead to an amusing play on words. Using ‘Roby’ or simply ‘Ro’ as a tribute to her own name for a girl, he suggested, would be extremely stylish.
In July, Rihanna herself has confirmed that the first letter is already chosen.
The soon-to-be mother of three shared with Entertainment Tonight that she and Rocky have already decided on giving their child a name starting with ‘R’. They are in agreement that this is something they won’t argue about.
The admission makes it clear the tradition that started with RZA and Riot is set to continue.
In a different choice of words, it can be said that Slagen, the writer of “Naming Bebe: An Interactive Guide to Finding a Baby Name You Love,” is not unique in expressing confidence or making bold predictions.
According to recent findings by VegasInsider, Rebel appears to be the favorite choice for Rihanna’s upcoming baby name.
The spokesperson shared that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky didn’t opt for subtlety when choosing their first two baby names. RZA is a tribute to Wu-Tang Clan, while Riot is a powerful, assertive name that aligns perfectly with hip-hop culture.
As an ardent admirer of Rihanna, I find myself captivated by the prospect of her third child’s name. Two names that have left a profound impact are both concise, powerful, and steeped in cultural significance. It comes as no shock, then, that speculations about Baby #3’s name lean towards another moniker that shares the same essence. Delving deep into Rihanna’s lyrics, which span thousands of words across numerous tracks, one name consistently emerges with the perfect blend of rebellious spirit and profound meaning: Rebel.
As reported by VegasInsider, additional contenders for consideration are Rogue, Ryder, and Royal. However, among them, Rebel is currently frontrunner, leading both stylistically and statistically.
When questioned about an ‘R’ name that exudes a sense of cool, power, and perhaps a hint of danger, Slagen swiftly offered her top suggestions.
‘Rebel, Rad, Rasta, and Renegade,’ she predicted.
She also believes music will continue to inspire the couple’s choices.
It’s quite likely that they chose a name influenced by A$AP Rocky, possibly referencing his actual name Rakim or one of his song titles.
Furthermore, although bold names might be assumed, Slagen suggests that Rihanna could also draw inspiration from her Caribbean heritage.
‘Raeni, meaning queen, or Requiem are two R names I could see for them,’ she suggested.
As for classic or traditional names? Don’t hold your breath.
Slagen stated that Rihanna might choose to give a modern twist to a classic name, such as Ricky, Robby, or even Ruth; however, he believes her choice could still surprise us.
Slagen and the VegasInsider data team both agree that Rihanna won’t settle for anything ordinary.
‘I don’t think you will know someone with this name,’ Slagen insisted.
If past choices are any indication, she’s probably right.
It’s been suggested, but neither Rihanna nor A$AP Rocky have officially revealed it, yet they’ve given hints indicating that they are likely welcoming a daughter for the first time.
She is due to give birth this fall, sometime between September to November.
