Blue Ivy Carter to work hard for a follow-up; just born to Beyonce and Jay-Z and already a Twitter trend

With family talent like that of Beyonce and Jay-Z (AKA Shawn Carter), you'd expect that baby Blue Ivy Carter will have some sort of music career in her future. For now, the news that "Beyonce gives birth" is bouncing off social media and the Internet.
Her name was first reported to be Ivy Blue Carter, which explains why that name, not the correct one of Blue Ivy Carter, was trending on Twitter on Sunday morning. Also trending were the terms "Bey and Jay," "#NamesBetterThanIvyBlue," and "Illuminati's Very Youngest." Illuminati's Very Youngest, naturally, comes from I-v-y.
There's already a fake Twitter account, too, though using the earlier incorrectly reported name Ivy Blue Carter. There's no "_" in that Twitter account handle, so we'd guess that Twitter won't make the same mistake it made with the fake account for Wendi Deng, Rupert Murdoch's wife.
Russell Simmons Tweeted a welcome to Blue Ivy, saying, "congrats to my good friends Beyonce and Jay-Z."
Meanwhile, singer and friend of the family Rihanna tweeted, "Welcome to the world princess Carter! Love Aunty Rih."
Gwyneth Paltrow, a close friend of the couple, helped clear up the confusion over the baby's new name. She first Tweeted, "Welcome to the world Blue! We love you already." In response to a follower's question as to whether it was "Ivy Blue" or "Blue Ivy," she Tweeted, "It's Blue Ivy Carter!"
Blue was also used in Ancient Egypt to represent the heavens. The color also symbolizes the Virgin Mary as well as inspiration, sincerity and spirituality.
Also according to GlobalGrind, but echoed by Good Morning America, the middle name "Ivy" was selected because of the significance of the number "4" in their lives ("IV" is the Roman numeral 4). First, both Beyonce and Jay-Z were born on the 4th (Sept. 4, 1981 for Beyonce, and Dec. 4, 1969 for Jay-Z). The couple was married on April 4, 2008, and finally, Beyonce's latest album is "4."
There's nothing from the proud parents on Twitter, yet. There's also still that mystery about Beyonce's Twitter account. There is a Beyonce Twitter account that has Twitter's verified checkbox (but we know how much that means) and over 2.5 million followers. It has zero Tweets, though.
However, strangely, there is also a Beyonce Twitter account that has only 300+ followers, but is linked from the official Beyonce site. Unlike the other account, it has several Tweets, but is not verified. The link from the Beyonce site is what makes it all strange.
