A$AP Rocky and Rihanna intend to keep the family tradition with their third baby's name!
The rapper gave away a major hint about a possible baby name a few days after his beau, Rihanna, unveiled their third pregnancy bump at the prestigious MET Gala.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna's six-year relationship has seen them become parents to two toddler boys, RZA and Riot, with the third one coming to expand their family of four in a few months.
A$AP Rocky Is Sure Their Third Child Would Have An 'R' Initial

The rapper dropped the hint while appearing on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," alongside fashion editor and connoisseur Anna Wintour. The 36-year-old artist was asked about the name the rapper and his superstar girlfriend might choose for their new addition.
"Your first two kids have 'R' names, obviously, you and Rihanna have 'R' names. "Is this a lock that the third will have an 'R' name, do you think?Meyers curiously inquired from the rapper, who called his recent MET Gala co-chair gig a "dream come true."
" For sure," Rocky said in response, confirming that the baby's name will definitely begin with an "R." Meyers then shared a similar story about his own experience, saying:
"All three of our kids are A names, but the difference is only my wife has the A name and nobody cares what my initial was."
Rocky then humorouslyasked if any of Meyers' kids are named A$AP. The host caught the joke and told the rapper he has been looking for a reason to get his wife pregnant a fourth time, and "A$AP Meyers" would be a great fit.

He had reportedly traveled from Barbados to attend the Super Bowl, where Rihanna was performing, after she gifted him tickets. During her halftime show, he was overwhelmed with emotion, realizing that his daughter looked pregnant.
In a previous interview, Ronald expressed his hope that Rihanna's first child would be a girl, as he already had four grandsons from his other children.
