American pop queen Janet Jackson and her Qatari hubby Wissam al Mana are reportedly thinking of naming their baby - who is a boy by the way - after someone very dear to the singer's heart.

Rumor has it that baby Jackson-Mana will be named after his late uncle, the legend that is Michael Jackson. 

According to RadarOnline.com, Janet's doting hubby has agreed to name their little bundle of joy "Michael Brandon" - after her brothers Michael and Brandon.

In case you're wondering, Brandon is Marlon's twin who died at birth.

"Janet will honour both Michael and Brandon. It’s something that her husband agreed to when she got pregnant," a source said.

The source also claimed that "the child will have a name given by Wissam, and will take Wissam’s last name."

Janet confirmed that she is pregnant at 50 in an exclusive photo shoot with People magazine last month. 

"We thank God for our blessing," the singer told the US publication.

The expecting mum made headlines last week after being in spotted in London in "full Islamic attire," only to find out a week later that she was sporting a black poncho that gave the illusion of an Islamic abaya.
