Singer-songwriter and rapper Pharrell Williams says that he named his son Rocket after songs by singers Elton John and Stevie Wonder.

The 40-year-old, who is married to his longtime girlfriend, model-designer Helen Lasichanh and welcomed Rocket in 2008, also revealed that the rumours about Rocket's middle name, Man, are not true, reports contactmusic.com.

"I really respect Elton John's music ... Contrary to popular belief, Rocket's middle name is not Man. But Elton John's 'Rocket man' song was a part of it and also Stevie Wonder's 'Rocket love'," Williams said on a radio show.
