Wonder If They Considered `Mardy'

Big news out of Denver tonight: Melo's a Dad!

And even bigger news? His Girl’s a Nominee!

We here at NOTY would like to be the first to congratulate MTV veejay La La Vasquez, fiancee of Denver Nuggets scorer and New York Knick puncher Carmelo Anthony. La La bagged two major life achievements in one day (not necessarily in order of importance): birthing a son and getting nominated for Name of the Year.

According to the Rocky Mountain News:

The couple has known for some time the child would be a boy, so they chose the name Kiyan (pronounced Kai-ann) and Melo painted his son's room nautical blue. Kiyan weighs 5 pounds, 9 ounces and is 18 1/2 inches long.

Little Kiyan was born at 1:35 p.m. Mountain time and mother and child are doing... Hold on. Kiyan Anthony? KiyanAnthony … Kiyanthony! Do we have the youngest nominee in NOTY history?
