On September 24, Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky confirmed the arrival of their third child: a girl, whom they named Rocki Irish Mayers.
The little girl was born on September 13th and her name is part of a special family tradition for all members to have names that begin with the letter R. A rule that now also includes the couple's oldest children: RZA (3 years old), named after the legendary Wu-Tang Clan rapper, and Riot Rose (2 years old), whose name is inspired by an A$AP Rocky song.
The name Rocki is a clear homage to her father, a variation of the name Rocky, while his legal name is Rakim Mayers.
The choice of the name Rocki is not accidental, but reflects an increasingly popular trend in child naming: names inspired by grandparents.
According to expert Colleen Slagen, this practice has increased significantly in recent years. It is related to the increasing popularity of gender-neutral names, but also to the tendency to use traditionally "boy" names for girls.
