It was a name many of us has never heard before. But Grimes took to Twitter shortly after the big announcement to help fans understand what the baby’s name actually means. She explained, “•X, the unknown variable ⚔️ •Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence) •A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favorite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent 🤍 + (A=Archangel, my favorite song) (⚔️🐁 metal rat),” the Canadian singer explained.”

While some people were still left a little confused, the two also had a problem with the name because it wasn’t technically legal in California. As we previously reported, an approved name can only use the 26 alphabetical characters of the English language. Grimes revealed that the new name for their baby is “X Æ A-Xii,” after a fan asked on Instagram. She later added, “Roman numerals. Looks better tbh.” She also noted that California permits one dash in a name.

Still, It’s unclear whether the famous couple has finally come to an agreement about how to pronounce their son’s name.

The Tesla CEO tweeted that their baby’s name is X Æ A-12 Musk. Some took it as a joke but Grimes confirmed that it was indeed his real name.

Now, CNN reports that the name might not even be accepted in California! The news site notes that names can only use the 26 alphabetical characters of the English language, according to the state constitution. The law also states that symbols and numbers cannot be used in the registering of a legal name.

Family law attorney David Glass also confirmed this law to People Magazine. Glass said that while the couple’s choice of name for their child wasn’t technically illegal, it wouldn’t be accepted as valid by the state of California.

“In California, you can only use the ’26 characters’ of the English language in your baby name,” Glass said. “Thus, you can’t have numbers, Roman numerals, accents, umlauts, or other symbols or emojis. Although an apostrophe, for a name like ‘O’Connor,’ is acceptable.”
