Breaking: Kim Kardashian's Baby Might Not Have a 'K' Name
Kim Kardashian and her baby bump took to "The Tonight Show" yesterday to talk to Jay Leno about baby names and Kanye West and whatever other things happen in the life of a Kardashian, and in the course of their dialogue, it was revealed that the baby might not have a "K" name.
Just deal with that for a second.
For future generations of bloggers, that means that writing headlines just got a lot less fun. For us, for now, it just means that a legacy will be ended; a moment in time, gone forever.
Kim says that she and Kanye have a list of names, and some start with a K, and some don't. She also notes that Kanye likes the name North, so that they baby will be North West, and she likes the name Easton, so the baby will be Easton West.
Ohhhh, future baby. We wish you luck with everything.
