"Beyonce and Jay-Z can&amp;apos;t please everyone!\r\nIn one of the most highly anticipated births in a long time, the superstar couple welcomed their very first child at NYC&amp;apos;s Lenox Hill Hospital on Saturday -- naming their daughter Blue Ivy Carter.\r\n\r\nIn an Us Weekly poll posted Sunday afternoon, 78 percent of readers didn&amp;apos;t like the new moniker.\r\nHow&amp;apos;d Beyonce, 30, and Jay-Z, 42 (whose real name is Shawn Carter), come up with the name, anyway?\r\n\r\nNo official word from the famously private spouses of three years, but fans of hip-hop icon Jay-Z have long known that blue holds a special place in his heart. &amp;quot;My favorite hue is Jay-Z blue,&amp;quot; he rapped in the song &amp;quot;Go Crazy&amp;quot; with Young Jeezy. (There were even unrealized plans to feature the unique shade on a line of SUVs.)\r\nAnd, indeed, Jay-Z has released three beloved Blueprint albums in 2001, 2002 and 2009.\r\n\r\nThat middle name &amp;quot;Ivy,&amp;quot; meanwhile, reportedly references the Roman numeral (&amp;quot;IV&amp;quot;) for 4 -- a significant digit for both Beyonce and Jay-Z: Beyonce&amp;apos;s birthday is Sept. 4, Jay-Z&amp;apos;s is Dec. 4, they were married on April 4, 2008, and the singer&amp;apos;s latest album is entitled 4."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
