Grimes revealed that she had changed her daughter Exa Dark Sidræl’s name in a tweet on Thursday, March 23. She revealed that her one-year-old daughter, who she shares with her ex Elon Musk, had a new name, similar to the nickname that she had first announced for her when responding to a fan. The singer, 35, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, shared that she had tried to change her daughter’s name to “?” but ran into some issues.
When Grimes first announced Exa’s birth, she revealed that she and Elon would call her “Y,” similar to how they had nicknamed their son X Æ A-Xii simply “X.” In the new tweet, she responded to fan who had replied to a pair of photos of the mother and daughter in matching outfits. She seemed to imply that she had legally changed her daughter’s name from Exa to a longer spelling of a question word or simply a question mark, despite running into some issues. “She’s Y now, or ‘Why?’ or just ‘?’ (But the government won’t recognize that),” she wrote.
