Twitter, however, got tongue tied with the newborn's name. Ivy Blue and #NamesBetterThanIvyBlue trended across the world Sunday morning.
Twitter has become many of our go-to source for breaking news, from technology to politics to celebrity baby announcements. However, Sunday morning's trending topics have misled many followers of one of the most-hyped celebrity pregnancies in recent memory.
The Twitterverse loved this baby from first sight at the Video Music Awards, when Beyoncé's pregnant belly led to record-breaking tweets per second.
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, a close friend of the couple, set the record straight Sunday, by first welcoming baby Blue and then clarifying the baby's name is Blue Ivy, not Ivy Blue.
Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already.— Gwyneth Paltrow (@GwynethPaltrow) January 8, 2012
