Rihanna and A$AP Rocky unveiled their baby son's distinctive name on Thursday, revealing that they had chosen the name "Riot Rose" for their newborn. Now fans are expressing their thoughts on the unique name.
The famous singer, 35, and the rapper, 34, are already parents to RZA Athelston Mayers, who is 16 months old. They welcomed baby Riot on August 1 but had kept his name a secret until this week when it appeared on his birth certificate.
