Which two names did Beyoncé and Jay-Z give their twins born in 2017?

Beyoncé and Jay-Z gave their twins born in 2017 the names Rumi and Sir.

The twins were born in June 2017. Their names were publicly confirmed later through legal trademark filings and family announcements. Rumi is their daughter, while Sir is their son. The couple’s older child, Blue Ivy Carter, was born in 2012.

The births came during a major period in Beyoncé’s career. She performed at the 2017 Grammy Awards while pregnant, and her pregnancy announcement became one of the most widely discussed celebrity announcements of the year. She later appeared with the twins in the 2018 Netflix concert film Homecoming through family imagery connected to her performance story.

Because Blue Ivy is also Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s child, names are often mixed together in quick trivia questions. Blue is not one of the twins; she is the couple’s first child, while Rumi and Sir are the younger siblings.
