Netizens react to Elon Musk-Grimes second child's name

Exa, a reference to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS. Dark, the unknown, a beautiful mystery of our universe. Sideræl, the true time of the universe, star time, deep space-time, not our relative earth time. Soon after the news of the little one's name started surfacing on social media, fans were quick to notice the name and give their takes on the same. The birth of their first child, a boy born in May 2020, was followed closely in the press -- notably because of the choice of name: X Æ A-12, or more simply, X.

One of the users shared a hilarious video of Shreyas Talpade from the Golmaal series while showing difficulties in pronouncing her name. "Public while trying to pronounce her name," the user wrote alongside the video. Another user linked the name of the newborn with a mathematics equation and wrote, " 1st Son: X Æ A-12. 2nd Daughter : Exa Dark , Sideræl Musk...In Short 'X' and 'Y' " A third user chimed in and wrote, " Soooooo they've got a son named X, a daughter named Y, they better name the next kid Z after our space station heroine Zenon Girl of the 21st Century."
