Dad-to-Be Usher: 'I Want a Boy'

father-to-be Usher is ready to pass on his name – to a boy. In his first interview since marrying Tameka Foster on Aug 3 the R&B star, making a surprise appearance on Tuesday's post-Labor Day The Ellen DeGeneres Show, tells the host, "I don't know," when she asks, "Is it a boy or a girl?" 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." 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." And, if it's a girl? "What about Usherette?" asks DeGeneres. "I thought you would've suggested Ellen first," says Usher. ..Celebs and Bubs
