Initially, as the name was revealed, the parents of the newborn took to Twitter to explain the meaning of the unusual name. "X, the unknown variable. Æ, my elven spelling of Ai (love &/or Artificial intelligence). A-12 = precursor to SR-17 (our favourite aircraft). No weapons, no defenses, just speed. Great in battle, but non-violent + (A=Archangel, my favorite song) (metal rat)," Grimes wrote on Twitter.
