Elon Musk and Grimes...

[zscaler]

... Have just names their baby X Æ A-12 Musk.

He should have run that one by Mumsnet first

Isn't that a joke?

I suspect it’s a cypher for a less ridiculous real name. Or at least, I hope so for the baby’s sake...

That's quite funny, particularly if you live in East Anglia and frequent the A12 road.

I don't think it's the baby's real name. I hope not anyway.

not a joke apparantly

And the baby is going to be allowed to choose it's own gender too apparently.
These people do my head in.

In all fairness both of them are known to be be fucking bonkers, did we really expect them to call him James?

He will never find a mug in smiths with is name on it though...

Could it be pronounced Zaya Wuntoo? Or Zaya Twelve? Or maybe Ziya

I'm guessing the baby will call itself John/Jane ASAP

It's pronounced 'Bob'

I think it’s Wayne or Craig.

Clearly we have finally found the proper spelling for 'Balonz'.

He has liked a comment on twitter of someone who has interpreted the name as
X Ash Archangel

It wouldn’t be my choice, but it’s better than Jaxson or Naveah.

I can see it saying Zayash or Ziyash, but how they get X Ash Archangel I don't know haha.

Can you imagine the hassle that will be! no, it’s spelt.....

Exaya twelve ? What the H311 😂

Poor thing will probably be like Zowie Bowie and refuse to use it

Apparently it's not legal in Cali though so wonder if the birth certificate will just say Xai?

Surprised to hear about the kid choosing its own gender though - I didn't peg Elon as very understanding of such matters.

I think it's a bluff, too hide the child's real name. You'd not be allowed to give a child a name like that in the U.K., the registrar has some discretion to refuse ridiculous names that would cause a child to be ridiculed and humiliated. I wonder if the US has something similar. Anyway, gets his name in the news.

I read online they registered the birth in California because you can register a child's name with numbers there...eeep.
