The INSIDER Summary:

  • Beyoncé gave birth to twins this June.
  • The names of the boy and girl may be Sir and Rumi.
  • TMZ reports trademark applications were filed for the two names.
  • Both applications were signed by Beyoncé's mother.


It looks like Beyoncé and Jay-Z's twins' names may have been revealed. 

TMZ reports Rumi and Sir Carter are the names of Beyoncé's twins. The twins' birth was first reported June 17 and confirmed the following day online by the singer's father, Matthew Knowles. 

Beyoncé hasn't announced or confirmed the names of the twins, but TMZ spotted trademarks for the names Rumi and Sir Carter were filed earlier this week. 

INSIDER found the trademark filings for Rumi Carter and Sir Carter. They are for cosmetics, skin care, lotions, shampoo, baby teething rings, carriages, strollers, baby bibs, tote bags, playpens for babies, bouncy chairs, and more.

Both trademark applications were signed by Beyoncé's mother, Celestine Knowles Lawson, June 26, 2017. According to the documents, each application had a fee of $4,125 — not bad to have your kids' names on a lot of baby merch.
