Beyoncé fans have earth-shattering theories about her babies' names
Aaaah, just when you were sitting comfortably, Beyoncé goes and drops a bombshell in the form of an earth-shattering, tear-jerking, and mind-blowing Instagram post revealing her newborn twins to the world.
Amid all the furore of seeing the twins' gorgeous faces for the very first time, many of us missed a crucial detail in the wording of the post.
"Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today," wrote Beyoncé.
That's right. Not "Rumi and Sir Carter". Not "Sir Carter and Rumi Carter". Not "Sir and Rumi Carter," either.
So, what does this crucial word order mean?
Some fans declared the post proof that Sir Carter is his full name, and he must be thus addressed at all times.
"WE WILL REFER TO KING #1 BY HIS COMPLETE NAME, SIR CARTER," wrote one very excited fan.

Someone raised a highly important point, too. What if Sir Carter gets knighted one day? Will he be Sir Sir Carter? Or, Sir Sir Carter Carter?
