"Yeah, [we are deciding between] a few baby names," Nas told MTV. "It's kind of hard.

"I've been thinking about kinda putting something online: 'Choose his name,'" he continued with a smile. "You get a couple stacks for that. We take care of you for that. You win something real. But we're thinking now."

The couple tied the knot in Atlanta in January 2005.
