Yesterday, the world learned that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their third child!
The baby girl was born via surrogate, and while we’re sure that the family is overjoyed, we don’t yet know the name.
Reportedly, not even Kimye know the name. And rumor has it that Kim and her sister Kylie are having a tug-of-war over a name that they both want for their child.
Kim Kardashian decided to have her third child via surrogate.
She did this, not only because pregnancy absolutely sucks, but because Kim has a potentially life-threatening condition known as placenta accreta, in which the placenta becomes too firmly attached to the uterine wall. This makes for difficult pregnancies that put Kim’s life at risk.
A surrogate was definitely the right call.
Kim was present for the childbirth, and was the first person to have skin-to-skin contact with her newborn daughter.
Oh, and their third child was born at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. which is the same place where both North and Saint were born.
Kim and Kanye have set the bar pretty high when it comes to epic names.
Though Kim and Kanye both have K-names, they’re eschewing Kris Jenner’s K-naming convention, opting instead for distinctive names that really make an impact.
North West is … truly an incredible name.
And Saint West … well, we’d say that no one saw that one coming, but six months before Saint was born, someone tweeted:
“Watch kanye name his kid ‘saint’ or some stupid s–t.”
We did all watch.
North and Saint will be tough acts to follow.
This Kimye newborn is only the first of the 2018 Kardashian Baby Boom, however.
Kylie Jenner is pregnant, and though her sister Khloe is also pregnant after many years of talking about it and (seemingly) worrying about her fertility, Kylie’s baby is arguably the most anticipated childbirth of this coming year.
Reportedly, Kylie Jenner’s due date is February 4th. She’s had a long, long time to consider what to name her baby.
She is expecting a baby girl, and according to a report, there’s a name that she really likes. You might even say that she loves it.
There’s just one problem: Kim also likes the name.
According to RadarOnline, Kim and Kylie are fighting over baby names. 2018 is only a couple of weeks out of the gate, and it’s already wild.
The name in question?
Love.
“Kim and Kylie were fighting over the name,” their source claims.
It’s not the first time that Kylie and Kim have competed against each other. They’re the two richest Kardashians, with their various ventures (and both are in the makeup business).
Apparently, Kylie “also likes the name Princess.”
Kim, as the big sister, was apparently “learning toward Star, and will likely let Kylie have Love.”
This same report claims that Kanye wants to name their daughter “South,” but that Kim thinks that it would be too cheesy … and that it would be bad for their brand.
We’ll take that report with a grain of salt, but it’s worth considering those names.
Is Kylie planning on giving her baby Travis Scott’s last name? I’ve always thought that patrilineal names don’t make much sense, especially since Kylie’s the one who was pregnant. Travis Scott’s part of the equation was brief and, presumably, accidental.
What’s more, while Love West would be one hell of a baby name, Love Scott would be … awkward.
Imagine Kourtney Kardashian, whose ex is Scott Disick, saying the name of her newborn niece.
Yikes.
If Kim names her daughter Star West, then their daughters’ names would be North and Star. Cute.
But don’t fixate on any names just yet. You never know what Kimye might come up with.
