Blue Ivy Carter works very well as the name of a high-end restaurant. We could also see it as a very exclusive nightclub somewhere like London or New York. At a push, it could be a fashion range (and we won't rule out the chances of that actually happening one day). For now, though, it's the real name of a seven-year-old girl. We'd never criticize her name to her face though; she's the child of a marriage so significant that some people believe they run the Hollywood Illuminati.
If you're unfamiliar with her, Carter is the progeny of 'Destiny's Child' singer and movie star Beyoncé Knowles and her rap legend husband, Jay-Z. That's about as famous as famous gets. We don't think the name is necessarily terrible - 'Ivy' is a recognized girl's name after all, and we have seen people called 'Blue' before - we've just never seen it used for a girl. Perhaps they were expecting a boy and then kept the name anyway?

One of the cities featured in Booking.com’s travel trends for 2020, Urugay’s capital Montevideo is a stable and LGBT-friendly destination to visit in South America—a continent that’s seen dips in tourism of late thanks to political instability in travel destinations like Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Travelers identified the city as a trending travel destination for anyone seeking an immersive, one-stop escape; according to the study, “over half (54 percent) of global travelers say they want to go on one long trip to a place that has all of their favorite activities and sights close together.” Montevideo’s offerings include beaches, nightlife, markets, theaters, culinary prowess, and festive Gay Pride Day celebrations in September.
