Name Of Kim And Kanye's Baby Revealed
Some possible inspiration for Baby North West: ground zero of grunge, Northwestern University, a compass or the elusive Northwest passage. (Credits: Paul Fell/Shutterstock, Anthony Ricci/Shutterstock, Galushko Sergey/Shutterstock and Antonio Abrignani/Shutterstock, respectively)
It sounds like the child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will have a strong sense of direction.
TMZ reports that the birth certificate from Cedars-Sinai says they've named their baby girl North. And she's taking her dad's last name, making her a West. So that's right: their baby will be named North West.
We're kind of bummed to hear that the fetus formerly known as Kimye will not have a name that begins with a "K." But what we will lose in alliteration, we will surely make up for in puns.
Welcome to the world, Baby North.
