New Baby, New Name: Kanye West & Kim Kardashian

Yes, this is the birth all reality tv fans looked forward to. For months they critiscised Kim's ever-expanding weight, laughed at Kanye walking into a sign and mocked the longeivity of this couple. But the day arrived one-month early to be exact and we all thought we would finally get a name as well as a glimpse of the baby.


How wrong we were. Unlike most celebrities Kim chose to do the ''Stephen Moyer & Anna Paquin thing'' by not revealing what the babies name was as soon as they had it. I personally do not get this decision. It reminds me of the first time Jessica Simpson was pregnant and everyone knew it but she decided to wait forever to announce she was pregnant. And what happened when she announced she was pregnant...no one cared because we already knew! It was actually quite surprising how long Kanye and Kim took to announce their daughter's name. Given the fact the family are known for being in the spotlight and have shared pretty much every detail of their lives with the world. Remember when Kourtney Kardashian gave birth on camera? Twice! And when Khloe and Lamar were on that sex swing? But Kim has chosen to be way more quiet which is most likely due to the influence of Kanye being in her life. It took approximately 6 days to announce their daughters name. But unlike the Jessica Simpson treatment of no one caring, when Kim and Kanye announced their baby's name the media went into a frenzy!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had decided to name their daughter, North West. Like the rest of the world I am questioning why they decided to name their daughter after a direction? What made matters worse about this baby name is that they are going to call her ''Nori'' for short! Not Nora! Not Nor! But Nori. The name Nori sounds kind of fishy to me. I think it's cause everytime I think of the name Dori from Finding Nemo pops into my head, but lets get back to this ''unique'' name.

Originality: 10/10
Stupidity: 10/10
Chances of child getting teased: 9/10

North West seems like the kind of name her parents are gonna regret in a week's time. I'm still in shock anyone would name their kid after a direction! I think the best part about them naming their kid this is the jokes and comparisonds that followed after the announcement of the name. With my favourites being ''it's like Brad Pitt calling his kid Arm Pitt'' or ''It's like Liam Payne calling his kid Period Payne''.

I do have to give them props though for having the guts to name their daughter something that they most likely knew would come under scrutiny. 

I really do hope one day Kim and Kanye will see the error of their ways in naming their baby this proposterous name. If they do choose to have another kid I would suggest they pick a name that actually exists in a baby name book! and not on a compass!
