Machine Gun Kelly Explains Meaning Behind New Baby’s Name, Saga Blade

Machine Gun Kelly is opening up about his newborn daughter’s bold name — Saga Blade Fox-Baker — and yep, there’s a deep, emotional meaning behind the unusual moniker.

The rapper got candid on the “Today” show Friday about how Megan Fox’s past miscarriages played a role in naming their daughter … saying Saga reflects the emotional ride over 5 years disappearing, returning, and surviving it all.

In his words, it’s all been an “epic story” … and that’s exactly what the word saga means.

MGK also revealed Saga was inspired by his Norwegian roots — she’s named after the Nordic goddess of storytelling. So yeah, their baby girl’s already destined for a life of telling tales.

As you’ll remember, Megan welcomed baby number 4 — her first with MGK — and while the two hit a rough patch after that messy Thanksgiving fallout last year, they’re appear to be back on solid ground and all in on co-parenting.
