Mega singer Beyonce and her New York-born rap star Jay Z welcomed their twins into the world earlier this month and are both reportedly overjoyed.
And despite the couple’s silence on their new babies – they have yet to officially confirm the birth – but it seems the twins names appear to have finally emerged. The newborns were revealed to be named Rumi and Sir Carter, after their parents filed trademarks to protect the names.
According to TMZ the company run by Beyonce and Jay Z – real name Shawn Corey Carter – filed legal documents on Friday to secure the rights to the unusual monikers. While both names are distinctly unusual choices, Sir is the more uncommon of the two – with the name normally used as a title before a man’s first name.
Meanwhile Rumi is a Japanese girls name, and also the last name of the famed 13th century Persian poet Jelaluddin Rumi. Along with their boy-girl twins, the couple are also parents to five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
