To think if Beyoncé's boy is called' Sir' then the girl should be 'Madam'.

Will this obvious misogyny spark sibling rivalry in the future I wonder?

I agree.

VladmirsPoutine · 20/07/2017 10:51

It's Beyonce, as far as I'm concerned she could have called them both 'Hot' and 'Potato' respectively.

Groupie123 · 20/07/2017 10:52

Do we definitely know that Sir was the boy's name?

KoalaDownUnder · 20/07/2017 10:53

It's fecking stupid.

Like all that Princess and Jermajesty and rubbish that famous people use.

Can someone explain how the name is mysoginistic

WasabiNell · 20/07/2017 10:59

I find it hard to articulate araiwa but it kind of feels like to me now she has a son he's more important and is called 'Sir'? Whereas the girls are called 'Blue' and 'Rumi'.

Crispyturtle · 20/07/2017 11:32

I thought Rumi was a boy too?

toosexyforyahshirt · 20/07/2017 11:34

They're both boys.

Crispyturtle · 20/07/2017 11:34

But that assumption was based on emojis on Beyonce's IG so I'm prepared to be corrected Grin

KoalaDownUnder · 20/07/2017 11:36

I just think it sounds hilariously arrogant - like they want everyone to address their precious son as 'Sir' his whole life?!

Can you imagine that, to a preschooler: 'Please sit down, Sir!' 😂

WasabiNell · 20/07/2017 11:37

Are they both boys?? I thought Rumi sounded like a girls name. Okay take it back, not misogynistic at all. Just a bit twattish.

LurkingHusband · 20/07/2017 11:39

MrsLHs family had a dog called "Sir" in the 80s ....

KoalaDownUnder · 20/07/2017 11:39

Nooo, Rumi is a girl!

fuzzywuzzy · 20/07/2017 11:54

I thought they were both boys?

The Persian Islamic poet known as Rumi was a man.

gingerscot · 20/07/2017 11:58

Rumi is a girl

KoalaDownUnder · 20/07/2017 11:58

Given that their other children are named after a colour and a form of address, I don't think they're that fussed about technicalities like that, fuzzy Wink

Rumi definitely a girl.

To think if Beyoncé's boy is called' Sir' then the girl should be 'Madam'.

It's just a bit cheap isn't it. Desperate to sound rich. Really chavvy name, like Kash, Diamond, Princess, Queen Tacky!

KoalaDownUnder · 20/07/2017 12:07

Just discovered that Blac Chyna's daughter is called Dream. ShockHmm

Agree that they are tacky names.

VladmirsPoutine · 20/07/2017 12:08

BeepBeepMOVE Not sure if a bank balance in the 100s of millions just sounds rich or is actually rich.

NemosKnickers · 20/07/2017 12:09

Imagine growing up having to call your brother Sir? It's such a shit thing to do to her daughters.

ExplodedCloud · 20/07/2017 12:11

Dame would be acceptable?

RhubardGin · 20/07/2017 12:11

They had a boy and a girl. It was confirmed on twitter Smile

I think with a name like Sir he could grow up to be an entitled so and so.
