If you ever thought
that Elon Musk and musician Grimes were going to change the name of their
child, then get rid of the assumption because it’s official now. 

The billionaire couple
has actually named their child X AE A-XII – “X” is the child’s first
name and “AE A-XII” is the middle name, whereas “Musk” is
the sir name.

If you look closely,
you’ll see that the couple has made slight adjustments to the name. Initially,
the name was announced to be X Æ A-12 but because California doesn’t permit the
addition of special symbols or numbers in the legal name, the name’s changed to
X AE A-XII. However, the overall sentiments remain the same.

Last month during his
conversation with the comedian Joe Rogan, Musk explained how he and Grimes came
up with the name. He said, “First of
all, my partner is the one who, mostly, actually came up with the name. I mean
it’s just X, the letter X. And then the AE is like pronounced ‘ash’… yeah…
and then A-12 is my contribution.”

If you’re wondering
what the meaning of A-12 is, then it’s been clarified that A-12 stands for the
Archangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71 aircraft. Musk has also called it “the coolest plane ever” on
Rogan’s podcast.

If you think the name
is a bit of a mouthful, you should consider using “Little X” as that’s the nickname Grimes uses fondly.
