Along with the photo, Rihanna revealed her daughter’s name: Rocki Irish Mayers. The name holds special meaning for the couple, with “Rocki” serving as a tribute to her father, A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers. The middle name, “Irish,” is likely a nod to Rihanna’s heritage, as her father is of African, Irish, English, and Scottish descent.

In a recent interview, A$AP Rocky opened up about his desire for a daughter. “I hope it’s a girl. I really do. We’re praying for a girl,” he said. Reflecting on the differences in the pregnancies, he added, “This pregnancy is so different from the other two. You can tell from the experience. I hope it’s a baby girl, man. I need that.”

A$AP also shared insights into how he and Rihanna balance their demanding careers with their family life. He explained that they make an effort not to discuss work when they’re together, prioritizing family time instead. “When you come home, it’s about family. It’s about your relationship. It ain’t about all that other s***,” he said.
