Usher Raymond’s baby may not be due until this winter, but the singer already has high expectations for his unborn child.

The singer told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that he hopes that his baby will be a boy.

In the season premiere episode set to air on September 4, Usher, 28, talked fatherhood and also joked about his recent on-off nuptials with his stylist Tameka Foster, 37. Interview excerpts below:

Ellen: “Last time you were here, you were single. You said you wanted a lady that you could take from the Waffle House to the White House. You found her.”

Usher: “I did. I found someone that I’m very, very happy to call my wife.”

Ellen: “Is it a boy or a girl?”

Usher: “I don’t know. I want it to be a boy.”

Ellen: “Now, you’re going to have a girl and she’s going to see this tape and say, “Daddy, why don’t you love me?” You better save some for some therapy. But you’re going to love her if it’s a little girl.”

Usher: “Yeah.”

Ellen: “You want a boy, why? So you can play sports with him?”

Usher: “I think every man wants a son. He’s own little own doll. If it’s a boy, I’m going to name him Usher. I’m hoping to name him that. I’ve been playing with a few names. I’m the fourth. Usher Raymond the fourth. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I’ll change the middle name.”

Ellen: “What about if it’s a girl? Have any names? What about Usherette?”

Usher: “I thought you would’ve suggested Ellen first.”

Ellen: “Well, that’s the obvious. I’m just saying as second choice. Usherette? Or what about ‘Boo’?”

DeGeneres also teased the singer for not inviting her to his August 3 wedding, in which he and Tameka exchanged vows in a private ceremony at his lawyer’s office in Atlanta. (The couple had originally planned to wed in a more lavish bash on July 28 at music exec L.A. Reid’s house in the Hamptons, but cancelled the event at the last minute due to a pregnancy scare.)

Ellen: “What happened with the wedding? People were waiting. I was sitting all dressed up — waiting at home. I wasn’t invited.”

Usher: “I actually sent you an invite. You didn’t get it? You never called me that you changed your address. I sent to 3941 Lover’s Lane.”

Ellen: “3941 Lover’s Lane. That’s where I live. That’s so odd I didn’t get it. Now, seriously, you did get married this past weekend. You are now married. How come I wasn’t invited to that one?”

Usher: “I sent the invite. You didn’t tell me you changed your address.”

Ellen: “Not a good way to start being a daddy as a liar!” [Laughs]
