What’s in a name?
Well, for Machine Gun Kelly, it’s victory. Indeed, the 35-year-old rapper revealed that his suggestion for his and Megan Fox’s 4-month-old daughter Saga Blade prevailed—a win he didn’t earn with his and ex Emma Cannon’s 15-year-old daughter Casie.
The rapper, speaking on Today, shared an anecdote regarding a rejected name for his first daughter. “Well, I lost the first one and won the second one,” MGK told Today in the July 24 edition of its 8 Before 8 video series. “When you are 18 years old and you go to her mother and you go, ‘What if we named our kid “Kid?”’ I get why she’s like, ‘Hey man, shut up.’”
According to SKY YORK JOURNAL sources, Machine Gun Kelly (born Colson Baker) humorously admitted his ambition behind the unconventional name. As the rapper admitted, “That was one of the names. I was like, ‘If her name was Kid, that would be sick.’”
The Saga Name
Though MGK didn’t succeed in naming his first child, he has been vocal about why he landed on the name Saga.
SKY YORK JOURNAL reports that MGK explained the meaning behind his younger daughter’s name. “She is an epic story,” he said during a June 20 appearance on the morning show. “That’s what saga means.”
