: MediaTakeOut.com was the FIRST news source in the world to tell you about R&B singer Erykah Badu’s daughter’s brith over the weekend. Well now, we found out what the young girl’s name is - Mars Merkaba.
Here’s how Erykah describes one of her first encounters with Mars:
[Mars'] eyes are looking right into mine. She struggles to focus. I wonder where she just came from. I mean…her spiritHey … if we can have a President named BARACK … why can’t she name her daughter Mars…
Ya know....I'm all for originality. But come on people....Mars Merkaba??? That's a bit overboard. That *** is not going to be cute when she's in Kindergarten during roll call! It's about time for Erykah to go 'head and sit her azz down somewhere...oh and cross her legs....for good.
Congrats on the baby though
She trippin.
Wanna get $2,000 a week then come get it in wit me at:

P.S. Only for real Hustlers!!!
so what all her baby daddies are rappers? so what she named her new addition mars? what no one's realizing is that we NEVER hear about ms. badu putting her kids in harm's way or any foolishness that would categorize her as a bad mother. her kids are well taken care of, and loved. who gives a rat's *** what their names are? DO YOU ERYKAH!
The meaning of Merkaba:
"Merkaba, also spelled Merkabah, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. "Mer" means Light. "Ka" means Spirit. "Ba" means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another."
She gave her daughter a name that had meaning to her...I'm not mad at her for that.
i love erykah! however,i wish she would've applied more thought to considering how these names are going to limit her kids when they get out into the real world. i kinda like seven. puma isnt toooo bad..but mars? she went over the line with that one. that's her child,though. she's entitled to name her as she see's fit.
@IWISHANIQQAWOULD
CALM THE *** DOWN! it has come quite apparrent to me that you forgot to take your meds this morning, or you are some stuck up bicth but it aint that serious! RELAX beath in breath out..Now dont that feel better? We are just talking about a NAME, thats it. You in here talking about "divided we fall" and some HATE ***. Nobody hating on her, in fact, I have all of her CDs. I love me some eryca! to each his own, but if my relative named their kid Mars, I would be the same way. That's not saying she is a bad mother, that's just questioning something thats slightly against the norm. So stop barking that self riteous *** and get some diick in your life.
STOP SAYING JUST BLACK PPL GET ETRA CREATIVE WITH BABY NAMES.
PilotInspector is the name of a celeb baby and his parents are white
Audioscience is another celeb baby name and his parents are WHITE
Geography, Poppyseed, piiedodot, Hopper Jack, Snack Attack, Honeyblossom, Bibibelle, and I can list 100 more....ALL WHITE!
Stop stereotyping ur selves!
@ COCOA5000 LMAO!!!!
I know right...Some of the same people who probably have Boonqueisha and Tyronequan and other made up names in their family will turn around and try to talk down about her children. Please. Like the name or not...fine, but at least she took the time to give her kid a name with meaning.
I use to think her kids names were crazy but if you understand where she is in her mindframe, they have meanings. Merkaba is a crystalline energy field that is comprised of specific sacred geometries that align the mind, body, and heart together. It's just foreign to the ones that are not on her level as to her thinking how life operates. But on the other hand she's bold for that name. I understand but I won't name my children after that
"...[Mars'] eyes are looking right into mine. She struggles to focus. I wonder where she just came from. I mean…her spirit..."
That statement is deep on so many levels. I just f'ing love Erykah Badu. And the names are so unique...Seven, Puma and Mars - I love her because she isn't trapped in any box and she dares to be different - no matter what anyone may say.
What's yo' Izm?
Im happy for her. I'm actually inspired by mothers who give their children unique names. It helps them to stand out. My name is probably one of the most common names ever. When someone calls my name, about 50 people turn around. It sucks to have a common name. When I have children, I will get as unique and creative as I wanna be. Congrats Erykah!
This bytch is bonkers....She is the typical good rat bytch that names her kids the *** up names and give no thought to their futures....If they are all successful entertainers then great but what if one of them want to go into corporate America....They will NEVER get hired based solely on their names!....I wouls change my *** when I became 18....She got 3 razy azz named kids by 3 different *** so I ask myself....Come to think of it, should I really be shocked????....
"You can take the bytch out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the bytch!"
That is whats wrong with black folks nowadays, always staying inside the box, come out that box into some new sh!t!! We all want to name our kids the same names with a meaning to it and it don't fit them, or name the after cars, drinks and illegal substances. Personally, I actually like it. I wouldn't name my daughter that, but its cute and different.
Go Head Erykah, do you girlie. Fcuk the haters
Ya'll kill me on here with all this "righteous" ***. If she was so righteous, she wouldn't have just had her THIRD baby by her THIRD baby daddy. Oh, but let me guess....she has money, so that's ok, right? GTFOH.... I feel sorry for these kids who have these names...what they gonna do when it's time to apply for a job? Nobody is going to care about the profound meaning behind the name....but that's ok too, right? This goes to all the ghetto azz mothers naming their kids anything with an "iqua, isha, eka, and ondra" at the end too. Sometimes my people make me sick...and all the ones on here condoning this *borrowing from The [SPAM]* foolywangery, are the ones with the ghetto azz names.
It's not about being righteous. It's about being spiritual, because that word deals more with religion than spirituality. There is a big difference, which is why you still have most of these clowns talking *** about here because they're still on that religion kick. They're still stuck in the matrix.
The name is a bold choice. But this is why I respect Ms. Badu so much. She is a FREE spirit and she's not afraid to exercise her FREEDOM OF CHOICE. We as people limit ourselves everyday because we live our lives trying to please society. This woman is a LEADER. She plays by her own rules and still highly respected.
Love It!
So basically she has sealed this little girl's fate by confirming she will have to go into show business if she wants to work. Would you interview someone with that name on their resume? Barack is a common name in Africa .... but I have never heard of anyone with the name 'Mars' (except for the defunct candy bar). Someone call DCF please!
u know what? i should probably be, but i'm def not surprised cuz this is Erykah afterall! dig her music but couldn' *** with her as a friend in life! "beyond weird" is her middle name! i just hope she got the tubes tied after this birth! does she really need a 4th kid with a 4th baby daddy...yall know it will happen if those tubes aint tied!
