Contrary to a report by Latina.com which claims she names her newborn son Ickitt, denies she picks the name for her baby boy. Taking to her MySpace blog on Friday, March 2 to deny the claim, the British singer-songwriter insisted, "My baby is not called Ickitt, Pickit or Lickit thank you very much to all the Hollywood press."

"He's a baby, he don't need press!", she continued. "I didn't release the baby name because I didn't think it was news!!!! But I will be back with something newsworthy soon, till then go pick on Apple, Satchel and Moon Unit. Lots of love stickit!!" added M.I.A. when referring to the long list of unusual celebrity baby names in recent years.

On the same day of M.I.A.'s denial, Latina.com then removed its post containing the wrong claim about the name of M.I.A.'s son. The site didn't give correction on its false report though.

M.I.A.'s son, whose name has been kept tight under wrap, was born on February 11, 2009. The infant is the star's first child. The father of the boy is M.I.A.'s musician lover Benjamin Brewer.
