I have been waiting for this news! Congrats to the Raymond Family on the new addition!

- kaylee on December 11th, 2008

Tameka now has 5 sons – that’s amazing!

- Tracie on December 11th, 2008

WOW! 5 sons? congrats!

- dawn on December 11th, 2008

I agreed Tracie..I’m sure she is tough as nails with all those boys.I wonder did a part of her want a girl and was trying for it?Congrats to them.Kids are such a gift.

- Tan on December 11th, 2008

Awwwww I’m sure this baby is a cutie just like their other sons.

I remember reading a while back that Tameka “hates” girls. I’m sure she probably didn’t mean it in that sense though

- CLO718 on December 11th, 2008

Congrats to both of them!! They make beautiful babies

- Jade on December 11th, 2008

I can’t wait to hear what his name is!!!

- Born Fab on December 11th, 2008

Congrats to the family! That’s a whole lot of boys, lol.

- terri on December 11th, 2008

Congrats to the whole family (I love the baby’s name, btw)!

two babies one year apart ~ that’s absolutely crazy (I’m in no sense calling them or anyone crazy for having children a year apart, but, come on, life has to be a bit crazy with two babies!) and i’m sure they’re going to love every second of their wild life.

- Abbey on December 11th, 2008

It’s definitely a different name but I’m a fan for unique names. I wish them the best….

What is everyone’s thoughts…do we think they will have anymore or will little baby Naviyd be the baby of the family?!

- Colby on December 11th, 2008

Congrats to them.
Not a fan of Naviyd but love Ely.

- Max'sMom on December 11th, 2008

Congrats to the couple on their newborn baby boy – but what’s his name again????
I have to wonder why people do that to children, maybe they’re afraid that their offspring won’t stand out by personality alone.
Then again…they would have hardly have named him John or Sebastian, or even Zuma

- kelpy on December 11th, 2008

Congratulations to Usher, Tameka, Cinco and all other brothers!
I quite like the name Naviyd, it’s unusual without raising eyebrows.

- Aelys on December 11th, 2008

Congrats to the couple, Usher is so cute, so I’m sure this new addition will be too! I don’t like the name, but I do like the shortened ‘Nav’, I think that’s really cute. Can’t wait to see the little fella! Mum must be feeling a little overwhelmed now, six boys in her house, that’s just crazy!

- phoebe on December 11th, 2008

Congrats!
How do you pronounce Naviyd?

- Stéph on December 11th, 2008

I like Naviyd. Its arabic in origins, alot of asian (as in Indian and Pakistani) men have this name, very popular choice.

- maz on December 11th, 2008

How is it pronounced?
It’s unusual, but clearly a special name to them. Does it come from a certain ethnicity?

- Mrs. R. on December 11th, 2008

Congrats! I kinda like the name Naviyd. It’s very unusual but looks good, as well. Anyone want to take a stab at how to pronounce it? I’m thinking Nav-Eed, but I could be off the mark.

- Stephany on December 11th, 2008

Love this name!It’s unique and not too weird!Congrats!I love Usher’s music!

- SARA on December 11th, 2008

It’s pronounced nah-VEED. And I would think Ely is pronounced just like Eli (EE-lye), but I could be wrong?

- Noelle on December 11th, 2008

My super cool 7 year old Nephew is called, Ely. Just like Eli is said. I have never seen another person with that spelling. I love Usher. Best wishes!

- aurora mia on December 11th, 2008

Naviyd is a persian/iranian name meaning “best wishes”
Very sweet meaning.

- mary on December 11th, 2008

Thanks, Noelle!

Now I REALLY like the name. Very cool!

- Stephany on December 11th, 2008

He named the baby after Christmas in Spanish. A few months ago he quoted, “The baby will be such a great early Christmas present!”

- Mary on December 11th, 2008

Feliz Navidad is Merry Christmas in Spanish. More likely it is the persian/iranian version than a liberal take on navidad. Congrats to the family!!!

- madylane on December 11th, 2008

oh… okay… and how is ely pronounced?

- ellen on December 11th, 2008

My godson is named Ely with that same spelling. Congrats to the family!

- J on December 11th, 2008

I like the name, although it does look like it is misspelled.

- Sarita on December 11th, 2008

Thanks for the help understanding the name ladies!
Now I really like it too! What a beautiful name!

- Mrs. R. on December 11th, 2008

not a huge fan of the spelling – but i like the name.

- meghan on December 12th, 2008

We saw them last night at Northside Hospital in Atlanta. They were just leaving the Labor & Delivery area. Not sure if they were heading home or moving to the family center in the hospital.

- T on December 12th, 2008

Boy, Tameka’s making sure the checks don’t stop coming in. Good luck though.

- Mrs. Scaife on December 13th, 2008

WELL,ITS OK TO HAVE KIDS. NOW USHER YOU HAVE TWO BASICALLY BACK TO BACK. THATS ENOUGH!!AND TAMEKA YOU DONT HAVE TO KEEP HAVING BABIES TO TRY AND KEEP USHER HES YOURS, SOMTIMES HAVING ALOT OF KIDS CAN DRIVE A MAN AWAY AS WELL.

- LOVELYA on December 13th, 2008

all boys….you go girl!

- We Are Expecting.com on December 14th, 2008

It looks like it is a creative spelling of the name Naveed, which is pronouned exactly as it looks. It is my husband’s name, and extremely popular in the middle East & India. The name means “greatest wishes.”

- cindy on December 15th, 2008

Congrats Usher! I’m so excited for you. You are the best!
