Why Do Celebrities Hate Their Babies?
March 6th, 2009 by Wendie
M.I.A. gave birth right after the Grammy Awards. You may remember her bouncing around looking like an overinflated soccer ball?
Well, the kid was so much safer when he was still womb-bound and unnamed. Because the kid’s name has finally been released. The name of the son she had with fiance Benjamin Brewer… Are you ready? Are you drinking? You may want to start before you go any further.
Ickitt. Poor child.
Before you leave a comment, please make sure you've read our Guide to Commenting. It could save you a great deal of embarrassment.
I read that post 7 times and did not see a real name there. If Ickitt is not a typo or a serious mistake, there is something seriously wrong with one of us.
The child’s name is Ickitt.
I did the same thing!!
me too. I was like… where is the name??? Is it after the jump. I had to reread and then……….
wow. worst name ever.
I had to as well. And then I wondered why the name wasn’t in the post, so I had to click the link…
I then realized the name was in there, it’s just such a terrible name that I completely skipped over it.
That poor child. His nickname is just gonna be Ick…
Ickett the Cricket. Wow. Ickett? Flickitt.
I’m sorry, are you trying to tell me she named her child, her human child, Ickitt?? Who even thinks of that??
“Josh? Steven? Grape? Jesus? oh no how about Ickitt?”
They forgot the P
hahah.. they were like; just pick it already! aha! im gonna call him ickitt, just because it sounds so great
right..
right, it came from the nurse, juuuuuuuusssstttt PICKITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m beginning to think those naming laws in Europe aren’t such a bad thing after all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_name
What. in. the. hell. That poor kid.
M.I.A.’s family is from Sri Lanka…so I’m going to assume that the name has some nice meaning in another language.
I wonder if they’ll call him Icky for short.
Its horrible but Harlow, Apple, ect are worse.
No way is Harlow worse than Ickitt.
WHAT? Lol, you’re crazy.
Harlow and Apple worse than Ickitt?? Your thoughts scare me.
i would MUCH rather be called harlow or apple than ickitt, are you crazy?
not even close. I think Harlow is pretty cute. Apple is a bit odd.. but I actually kind of like it.
ICKITT?!! Ick and itt. So far worse. At least Harlow and Apple are like… actual words
harlow is such a pretty name, you ridiculous child.
when he gets old enough to realize what a horrid name he has…he will probably start telling people to call him “kitt”
Kitt is much nicer :)
This is a looooooong shot. But is it Tamil? Maybe?
Hopefully?
Please?
haha the BEST thing is, that “Ickitt” means “Yuck!” or “Gross!” in german… im from Austria… u spell it “igitt”, but you pronounce it the same way
M.I.A. should know that…. ohboy :)
IGITT!!
Why do celebrities (and some non-celebrities) these days have to be so damn original? What does it matter if other people have your name? My name is not the most unique name but at least my parents didn’t call me Sassafrass Snowflake-Botham and I am quite happy with being less unique – and less picked on!
Baby Icky is gonna cop it at school, sadly.
Oh god. That makes me kinda angry becuase you KNOW he’s going to be made fun of. WHY?? WHYYY?? Stupid people.
oh give it a rest people. EVERYONE gets made fun of for their name when they’re a child – even if your name is Joe Brown – kids will ALWAYS find something about your name to pick on. and these “crazy-named” celebrity kids will probably all be going to school with each other, so the Joe Brown of the joint may actually be the one being picked on.
In the name of justice and my sanity. I am boycotting this post.
You guys are so closed minded. I love that name, at least it’s original.
A child’s name should always be unique, I think a name shapes a person. I mean every Ashley I’ve ever known is almost exactly the same as every other Ashley.
No one will ever have an exact life like that person will so they should have a unique name to go with their unique life.
ICK
ITTTTTT
Michelle Willams. Michelle Obama. Michelle Rodregues. Michelle Pfifer. Michelle Phillips…..
very different people…
You can give kids a unique name, but that doesn’t mean you have the right to give them a stupid name that sounds like you’re clearing out the back of your throat.
Also, your theory on people with the same name being more or less identical needs some work.
Because I am childish,
let me be the first to make fun of him-
Lick it Ickitt!
maybe she named him that while she was still fucked up from pain meds from birth or something, poor kid…wtf
i love the name!
im sickj of boring names
celebs know whats up
WRONG WRONG WRONG
HER BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT
If you go on her myspace, this story is just made up – she didn’t name her son Ickitt at all.
Lies. Lies. Lies. Ickitt is not the real name. Or a real name at all for that matter.
yeah i just saw that its not the real name on yahoo . com
oh shucks. guess that’s not the real name. it’s funny tho. MIA is so random that I completely believed it
Ickitt is actually actually a different way of spelling Ikkith, a common South Asian name. It’s not pronounced Ick-It, but e-keith. The fact that people are insulting her choice in name is really insulting to me as a Sri Lankan person.
I didn’t think it was all that bad. I’d rather be named Ickett than Emily, or Michael. THOSE names suck.
msn is reporting that latina.com made that up. mia has not released the baby’s name yet. too good to be true!
this post is incorrect. she did not name her kid ickett… it was just a rumor
aw. i like ickitt! so even if it’s not true i hope M.I.A. doesn’t mind, i’m still gonna call him that…
Baby’s name is not Ickitt! She posted on her myspace or somewhere that her baby is not named ickitt

not ickitt
You are lame
Anyone remember “Ahh! Real Monsters!”?
The red monster with the ears?? His name was Ickus.
Inspiration?
Actually, it’s been released by M.I.A. herself that the baby’s name is not Ickitt.
” BABY NAME!
MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL THE HOLLYWOOD PRESS. HES A BABY , HE DONT NEED PRESS!
I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!!
BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWS WORTHY SOON , TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT.

the baby’s name is “Khyd”, not Ickitt, Pickitt, or Lickitt.
the baby’s name is “Khyd”, not Ickitt, Pickitt, or Lickitt..
I believe it was ICKIS…the Ahh! Real Monsters…uh, rabbit monster.
