Answer 1

Beyonce and Jay-Z gave their daughter a unique name: Blue Ivy Carter. So what does it mean?

According to People.com, "Blue" has played a major part in Jay-Z's music career. "Jay-Z has three albums with the word "blueprint" in their titles: The Blueprint was released in 2001; The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse, in 2002; and The Blueprint 3, in 2009."
