It's now called...
*Grimes* and *Elon Musk* have been forced to change their baby's name.
The baby was born earlier this month, with the couple promptly naming it X Æ A-12.
A convoluted origin story for the name was made public, including a link to a potential Burial song.
Sadly, Californian courts only recognise baby names registered using the 26 letters of the English alphabet, meaning a last minute adjustment had to be made.
Please welcome: X Æ A-Xii.
Writing on Instagram, Grimes said: “Roman numerals. Looks better tbh.”
