M.I.A.’s New Baby Is Named Ickett. Luckily, His First Photo Is Cuter Than His Name.

M.I.A, née Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, and her fiancé Benjamin Brewer have finally revealed the name of their son, born on February 11th - “Ickett.” And one of her buddies posted a picture of the baby online! As far as we can tell, the name doesn’t mean anything other than “Name No Other Baby Will Have Because My Parents Were SoOooOOOOo Different.” Now, exclusive reaction from baby Ickett:

The stupidness of his name has left the poor child speechless. Isn’t he cute, though? Like a little prune, with a face.

So, welcome to the planet, Ickett!  You’ve officially joined the ranks of other oddly-named celebrity babies, such as…

• Kal-El Cage, spawn of Superman-loving actor Nicolas Cage. Why not just named the child “Virgin” and be done with it.
• Pilot Inspektor, Jason Lee’s son. The “K” is a really inspired touch. Think of how boring it’d have been otherwise.
• Rocket Rodriguez, loingrowth of director Robert Rodriguez, whose other children are named Racer, Rebel, Rogue and Rhiannon. And John. Kidding.
• Moon Unit Zappa and Diva Thin Biscuit Zappa, Frank Zappa’s kids. Although, honestly, this man could no wrong in our eyes. We couldn’t have cared if he’d named them “Urinal Fox” and “Brokkine C’Ndom.”
