Elon Musk and Grimes share the news about their second child and as everyone was shocked last time with the name (X Æ A-12), they named their second child Exa Dark Sideræl.

Last time speculation arose with the law, as names can use 26 alphabetical characters of the English language, according to the state constitution.

So how to pronounce these names?

Exa Dark Sideræl : Exa Dark sigh-deer-ee-el

X Æ A-12 : X Ash A 12

Something unique right? Let’s see what is the meaning behind it?

Exa Dark Sideræl:

During an interview with Vanity Fair, Grimes mentioned the meaning,

Exa: pays homage to the supercomputing term exaFLOPS, which is the ability to perform one quintillion floating-point operations per second (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exascale_computing)

Dark is supposed to represent “the unknown.”

“People fear it but truly it’s the absence of photons,” and “Dark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.”
