R&B superstar Usher told Ellen Degeneres on her show on Friday that he is wanting a baby boy.  Usher recently wed his long-time girlfriend Tameka Foster who is pregnant with the couples first child.

But, he adds, “I want it to be a boy” – which prompts DeGeneres to tell him, “Now, you’re going to have a girl, and she’s going to see this tape and say, ‘Daddy, why don’t you love me?’ You better save some for some therapy. But you’re going to love her if it’s a little girl.”

Asked if he wants a boy so they can play sports together, Usher says, “I think every man wants a son.”

He also went on to say that he plans to name him Usher as well if he gets his desire.

As for names, “If it’s a boy, I’m going to name him Usher,” says the musician, whose full name is Usher Raymond. “I’m hoping to name him that. I’ve been playing with a few names. I’m the fourth. Usher Raymond IV. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I’ll change the middle name.”

Praying for a healthy baby boy or girl for Tameka and U4.
