Rihanna took to her IG handle and shared some adorable photos to announce the birth of her third child. In the photos, her baby girl looked simply adorable, as she and her mumma twinned in matching clothes. Well, the family finally got their princess, and it’s the sweetest thing to witness.

There’s no doubt that it’s the most beautiful name that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky chose for their little one. However, the name holds a special meaning.
What is ASAP Rocky’s real name, and how is it connected to his newborn baby girl?
Although there’s no public announcement about the meaning, the name ‘Rocki’ is believed to mean strength and endurance. Along with its literal meaning, another notable aspect is that Rihanna chose to keep her baby girl’s name as a special homage to the little one’s father, ASAP Rocky. For the unversed, ASAP Rocky’s real name is Rakim Mayers, whose nickname was Rocky before he adopted his stage name. Therefore, it seems that the newborn’s name is a beautiful homage to her dad. The newborn’s middle name is ‘Irish’, which is softer in form and adds a lyrical touch in contrast to ‘Rocki’. It is also possible that Rihanna paid homage to her own diverse heritage.
