Some had a lot to say about the little ones’ names as they attempted to clarify them and understand the inspiration.
Beyonce and Jay, hedging their bets on the monarchy not being around in 50 years, decided to go ahead and knight their newborn. #SirCarter

Is Beyoncé's son's name pronounced like "sir" or "sire"??? Sir Carter + Sire Carter, either way it's legit.

Others were baffled by the star’s ability to awaken so many in the wee hours of the morning with her announcement.
