Beyonce’s Daughter Blue Ivy Receives Honorary Citizenship of Croatian Island

Beyonce and Jay-Z's 5-months old daughter Blue Ivy has been named an honorary citizen of the Croatian Island of Hvar.

"I have decided to grant your daughter the status of honorary citizen of the town," said Mayor Pjerino Bebic in a letter sent to the couple according to the Dalmacija News. "The story of the origin of your girl's name, Blue Ivy, has brought huge media attention and great tourism promotion to the town of Hvar."

Beyonce and Jay-A visited the island during her pregnancy in September 2011, four months before she gave birth.  In a video shot during their trip, Beyonce said, "We woke up this morning, took a nice little walk, passed by this beautiful blue tree.  I think it's Blue Ivy, which would be quite appropriate."

She posted the video later on her Tumblr as well as a poem by Rebecca Solnit and discussed about the color and her daughter's name. The poem titled 'Field Guide To Getting Lost' says "Water is colorless, shallow water appears to be the color that lies beneath it. But deep water is full of his scattered light, the purer the water, the deeper the blue."
