Pharrell Williams named son after Elton John song

London: Rapper Pharrell Williams says he took inspiration from musician Elton John`s hit song `Rocket Man` to name his five-year-old Rocket.

However, the 40-year-old singer denied reports that he had kept the middle name of his son `Man`, reported Daily Express.

"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.

Williams married his long-time model girlfriend Helen Lasichanh on October 12 in 2013.
The couple welcomed a son in November 2008.
