Did Kim Kardashian name her baby girl ‘Kai Georgia Donda West’?

We still don’t have an official name for Baby Kardashian-West. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been checking E! News several times a day to see if they’re going to get the exclusive. For what it’s worth, there’s a theory that Kim is going to save the big reveal for the E! reality show, but I doubt it. I doubt Kim will wait that long. They’ll reveal the name (at the very least) this week, in my opinion. So for now, we’re just left with breathless updates on exactly what down in the delivery room and beyond:

Even though Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s bundle of joy decided to arrive earlier than planned, the reality star didn’t require a cesarean section to deliver her daughter, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

“She was admitted with medical complications and her doctor made the decision that her baby needed to be delivered. Kim had a natural birth,” the source says. “If Kim would have had very serious complications, her doctor would have decided to do an emergency c-section instead.”

As for the baby girl’s name, Kardashian, 32, has mentioned in the past that it will likely begin with a ‘K,’ but so far, she and West, 36, remain undecided, although a second source tells PEOPLE that they are close to a final decision.

“Kim is being very protective of the baby and she says there is no official name,” the first source notes.

[From People]

I’ve seen some of the gossip/urban sites are throwing pre-emptive shade on Kim, claiming their sources say she definitely had a C-section, so I guess that’s what this People Mag story is about. Personally, I don’t think an optional OR a necessary C-section is something to be ashamed of – every woman gets to make her own birth choices, for the love of God. For now, if Kim is claiming she delivered vaginally, so be it. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Kim’s labor was induced though.

As for the name, there’s a source claiming that Kanye and Kim have settled on Kai Georgia Donda West. I didn’t really get the “Georgia” reference, but apparently Kim’s father’s middle name was George. One of Kim’s friends, Larsa Pippen, told E! News that the baby girl is “so cute” and that Kanye is also “so cute… He doesn’t leave the room. He’s, like, in love with the baby.”

    Kai? Isn’t that a perfume?

    • bluhare says:

      I would like to add that Kai West is an awesome name.

      • Jalopy says:

        Yeah. But Key West is an even more awesome name.

        The Georgia thing stinks of PMK. Trying hard to assert the Kardashian side just coz Kanye wants his mum honored in the name.

      • Bubbles says:

        Kai is a name for a boy.

      • Leah says:

        Key West

      • FLORC says:

        Bluhare
        Fully agree. Kai West is an awesome name and I like the middle names.

        I feel like people are already projecting their hate of Kim onto the newborn. The name is fine and not even close to the top 100 worst celeb baby names. She’s just an innocent baby who’s name is already being criticized because her parents gave her that name.

      • Thinker says:

        @jalopy

        I’m no PMK fan, but considering how miserable this pregnancy was for Kim, this may very well be her only child. She should honor her deceased father in the child’s name if she wants to. No shade on Kanye and Donda, but Kim lost a parent too. I don’t see why the names have to be exclusive…

        I’m keeping track of this story because I have an unusual K name that has yet to be hijacked by the Kardashian Klan and I’m living in fear that this baby is going to steal my name.

      • Itsa Reallyme says:

        I do like Kai but I think I prefer Kaia for a girl.

      • Lucija says:

        I read somewhere that it’s short for Kaidence.

      • jaye says:

        My little cousin’s name is Kai, she’s a girl. I think it’s used as a unisex name. I’ve heard boys and girls called Kai.

    • BB says:

      So many non-credible sites are reporting false information. You have credible sites that have very little details. Everyone is so desperate for information. Yet, we are suppose to believe that this is the alleged name, which is a combination of Kim’s father middle name (George) and Kanye’s mother’s name (Donda) and of course it has been reported that the child’s first name would begin with the letter “K”.

    • teehee says:

      Kai is a name for a girl in the US but in Europe at least, its a male name. My boss was Kai (man) and my current partner is a Kai (man lol)
      But I do remember being confused at first, asking myself “isn’t that a girl’s name?”
      So it depends where you are.

      • Lilo says:

        I (German) know Kai as a girl AND boy name…it’s predominantly a boy’s name, though. If you use it on a girl you have to assign a gender-specific name as well, like…dunno…Maria, Katherina, Lena…whatever. Same goes for Kim, which is also a boy/girl name.

      • Spooks says:

        The only Kai I ever met was male and German ( And he was confused all the time because here Kaj is a dialect word for what).
        I think it’s quite cool that you can use boys names for girls in the US. We have maybe 4 specific names that can be used for both genders.

      • Lukie says:

        Kai is also a Swahili girl’s name that means ” loveable”

      • Nerd Alert says:

        So can you have names that work for both a boy and a girl in Germany? I read there was a law that all names have to be registered and need to be gender-appropriate. I took this to mean there are no unisex names given in Germany.

        However, I was reading about a similar law in Iceland at the same time and I may have mixed the information up a bit, because I read there are no unisex names allowed in Iceland. I’m just genuinely curious.

      • mia says:

        There are a few unisex names in German, but you have to add a gender-specific middle name. As far as I know German law doesn’t allow male names for girls and vice versa. I think the only exception is Maria which can be used as a boy’s middle name.

      • Nerd Alert says:

        Thanks mia!

      • Shamsterdamn says:

        Kai means water in Hawaiian. It is used commonly as a girls or boys name but is usually only a prefix, the first part of a name, and the second part usually distinguishes the gender. Such as Kailani (heavenly water) for a girl, or Kainalu (ocean waves/surf) for a boy.

      • ihanelma says:

        Sorry Lukie, Kai doesn’t actually mean anything in Swahili. The Internet seems to be teeming with names that are allegedly Swahili but in reality have nothing whatsoever to do with the language.

    • Jessica says:

      Hi, Yes it is. they have it in perfume or the roll on oil.

      It smells SO good.

    • Reece says:

      Not sure but I think it’s one of those Cirque du Soleil shows. *snort*

      It works though.

  2. Dibba says:

    Feel badly for the kid no matter what her name is.

    • nofkksgiven says:

      why??

      I really feel like this “I feel sorry for the baby” crap is just a thinly veiled way to say bad ish about Kim and/or Kanye and then (even worse) drag the child into it under this guise of “concern”.

      • Justin says:

        Imagine googling your parents name.. and you find out.. well.. all this.

      • Dibba says:

        not really. I don’t give it that much thought. I feel badly for the kid being raised in that three ring circus, as I would any other child. Its just my opinion so feel free to ignore it and continuing watching their show and living the dream!

    • nofkksgiven says:

      Baby Kai is like celeb child #12000 or whatever….some of them come out okay and some of them don’t. Just like kids raised by non-famous parents.

      Like you said you don’t really think about it…you’re probably not really feeling all that sorry for the child either. It;s just a backhanded statement like “your parents are so horrible I feel sorry for you”.

      When you put your comments on a board or site they may get responded to, but in the future I will most certainly bypass your remarks. Thanks!

      • Faye says:

        She didn’t say anything that harsh. Chill.

        Also, if you have a problem with snarky comments about celebs, this probably isn’t a site where you’ll be happy in general. Just a thought.

      • littlestar says:

        You’re on a site called CeleBITCHY where 95% of us are not fans of Kim Kardashian.

      • Hakura says:

        @nofkksgiven – I agree, she didn’t even say something *harsh*.

        You reacted w/o taking into consideration that her ‘sympathy’ for the child could revolve around the fact that she’ll grow up entrenched in show business (whether she likes it or not), with a grandmother hell bent on cashing in on her, psychological effects be damned.

        But regardless, she’s entitled to ‘feel’ however (& toward whoever) she likes.

      • Nina W says:

        I’ll just say it, Babye, your parents are horrible and I feel sorry for you. Nothing back handed about it, does that make you feel better?

    • Elle says:

      Lol Dibba to your ‘living the dream’ comment. 🙂

      • amilu says:

        Hah! That made me laugh, too, but since I couldn’t respond to that comment directly, I was going to let it go.

        Dibba, I’m not sure where these riled up Kimye fans came from (or were they here all along?), but I agree with your comments wholeheartedly.

  3. Shelley says:

    Of course Kanye is in love with Lil Yeezus!

  4. A says:

    I don’t know what to believe at this point. Every “story” contradicts the next.

    They say the baby is 5 weeks early – which would mean that they were 9-10 weeks when they announced the pregnancy. I doubt they would announce it before 12 weeks.

    They say the baby was due july 11th – meaning the baby was delivered at 37 weeks or full term and was not a premature delivery.

    They say the baby was right on time – meaning that Kim’s stressing/flying/general vanity during pregnancy might’ve caused the baby more harm than good.

    C-section vs natural delivery. I don’t even know what to believe anymore.

    Was she vain enough to try and get the baby out early? Sure. PR reasons? Sure. For Kanye’s sake so he could meet the baby before he vanishes again? Sure. Will she ever get pregnant again? Nope.

    All seems to be well in the Kardashian klan though but obviously something’s wrong with me and my investment in this matter. Sigh.

    • brin says:

      Or in this case…kute.

    • Agnetha says:

      So many questions about this birth that have been left unanswered-which is totally unusual for this family.

      I think the silence means there is an epic battle between the Kardashians and Kanye, and Kanye is winning for now. I know they could be waiting for a pay out, but I doubt it. Kris Jenner knows how to play this game, and the people who are interested in this story are quickly losing interest without even a name or details of the birth being released yet.

      What am I talking about? As soon as Kim and baby K are released from the hospital, they will be pimping out this baby to every available pap they can and we will get sick of seeing them.

  5. Annie says:

    Don’t have much hope for the girl, but at least she’s being loved.
    Kai is pretty name as well.

    • Erinn says:

      If her name is Kai, I’m impressed with how cute it is.

      I know this is awful, but Donda just sounds like such a horrible name. I know if it’s given to the child it’s to celebrate Kanye’s mom, but gosh. I can’t imagine seeing a baby and thinking “Boy, she sure looks like a Donda”.

      • Sabrine says:

        There’s nothing wrong with the name Donda as a second name. It’s lovely and respectful to give the baby the name of his mother who has passed. Kai is a pretty name. I think Kaiye would be a great name. I don’t know anyone named that.

      • Erinn says:

        I agree in the case of a middle name. I just mean regarding whoever choose Kanye’s mother’s name. It just doesn’t sound like a name you’d hear a baby called.

        But I guess it’s the same as older people with really young sounding names.

      • lisa says:

        ita, it’s super ugly

      • Mauibound says:

        Sorry , as sweet as naming this young lady for his mom is, Donda is an awful name.

    • jwoolman says:

      I can believe Kanye is with the baby all the time. If he left for a second, the K Klan would zoom in with the cameras. Poor Kanye must have trusted bodyguards to take over briefly during bathroom breaks… It will be interesting to see who wins this war over Baby Ka-Ching! Vatikan City Kardashian West.

  6. Yellowshaba says:

    I do too being raised by the two most narcissistic people in the universe, Who will only care about which clothes the baby is dressed iin. Kim is in for a rude awakening when she finds out baby comes first, not her.

    • Nicolette says:

      I don’t know that in Kim’s world the baby will ever come first. The universe revolves around her remember?

  7. GiGi says:

    I have a nephew named Kai – it’s becoming a more popular name… it’s cute on a girl, too.

    • Leah says:

      Its a boys name.

      • fingerbinger says:

        It’s a name for a boy or girl. I went to school with a boy named Kim and a boy named Leslie. I know a girl named Shawn. Kai is not just a boy’s name get over it.

      • jwoolman says:

        A lot of names shift gender or become unisex over time. Shirley was once exclusively a boy’s name, for instance. Now in the US it is exclusively a girl’s name. The shift doesn’t happen by legislative decree, but rather by choices parents make for their babies. Those choices sometimes catch on and propagate.

  8. fabgrrl says:

    How do you pronounce “Kai”? Is it like “guy” with a “k”, or is it “key”? Key West?

    Or is it just a different spelling of “Kay”?

  9. babythestarsshinebrite says:

    Baby came early to quiet all the Kanye cheating on Kim stories we were hit with last we.

    • Anne says:

      And to avoid giving birth around the same time as Kate Middleton … they don’t want their thunder (PR) stolen!

    • briefstickershock says:

      Yes, this.

      the thing that irks me is: Doesn’t a lot of fine-tuning physical development occur in the last stage of pregnancy, before birth? I read things like the particulars of eye-sight, attention span, and other matters I hear are impacted by being born a bit early.

  10. Pao La says:

    I think Kami is a better name.. Kai sounds a boy’s name..but considering the family this baby comes from i would call her Krusty. She’ll need lots of sense of humour to cope with Krazy grandma Kris and all the shenanigans.

    • Chichai says:

      Call me crazy but I think the baby may have a chance. Everyone is fiercely protective of my sisters baby and we all dote on her. We take turns teaching her new things and that child receives nothing but love.

      With Kourtney, Khloe and Kendall being more reserved, I think they will instill some good values into Kimye. PMK may have a strong hand but those three prove to me that it’s not THAT strong. There is hope.

      As for Kim, I hope she pulls a Nicole Ritche and becomes a fantastic mother. Key word here people is HOPE. I’m not holding my breath tho

    • Chichai says:

      Double post

  11. babythestarsshinebrite says:

    Baby came early to quiet all the Kanye cheating on Kim stories we were hit with last week.

    • Hahahahaha says:

      she wanted to beat Jessica and Pr Kate.Putting ur child in danger like that, is out of this world.But probaly true

      • Liberty says:

        The day after the birth, PMK just kept tweeting about “watch the show tonight!” over and over.

        Priorities in the world of narcissism. Have the baby induced early for show ratings and Fathers Day headlines? I would totally believe it.

        So I hope for the baby’s sake, that at least the father or Khloe or SOMEONE will show some love. I hope KK has an awakening, but I doubt it somehow.

  12. Arock says:

    *face palm*
    My daughters name is Kai.

    • Arock says:

      …well Caroline, but we’ve always called her Kai. Whatever, she can send me royalties.

      • Emily says:

        Who gets ‘Kai’ from ‘Caroline’….?
        That’s like… “My name is Samantha but I go by Sarah”

      • arock says:

        @Emily- My son couldnt say Caroline and made the sound Kai. It became her nickname- it just so happened that it was a name and stuck. And I love it.
        how do you get from Richard to Dick? John to Jack? Dorothea to Dolly? Martin to Buddy?
        tred lightly with judgement on kids/preference/parenting, people tend to be sensitive

      • Lemony says:

        I love the name Caroline! My BFF has a daughter with that name & she’s called “Kayta” because her older twin brothers couldn’t pronounce her name.
        I think it’s adorable.

      • Kiyoshigirl says:

        Cute story. Same thing happened to my daughter. Her name is Gillian, but her older brother, who was only 15 months older, couldn’t say it so he called her Gigi (I think a combo of the G from Jillian and baby?) Anyway, it stuck and she’s been stuck with it since. Strangely, it has always fit her and any anyone close to her still calls her that.

  13. yeahright says:

    An elective c-section shouldn’t be shamed because that is a woman’s right? Idiocracy at its finest.

    • MollyB says:

      Her body, her choice. Just keep saying that over and over to yourself until it starts to sink in.

      • mayamae says:

        As a woman I think “her body/her choice” is a wonderful thing.

        As a healthcare worker…. I feel c-sections for non medical reasons are ridiculous. If you completely ignore, or deny, the increased risk to mother and baby, you still have to deal with out of control healthcare costs absorbing all these unnecessary surgical deliveries.

        There was a trend in the 1990’s to push for a decrease in elective c-sections in which MD’s really stressed the feasibility of VBAC (Vaginal birth after c-section) because the US c-section rate was out of control.

        I think it’s very short-sighted to simply wave our feminist flag of “my body/my choice” without considering safety of mother/baby, and other significant consequences.

        BTW I am a pro-choice liberal who considers herself a feminist, so please don’t try to accuse me of being anti-woman.

      • MollyB says:

        A discussion of the pros and cons of a maternal request c-section are between a woman and her doctor. Once this discussion has taken place, it is her decision how to proceed. Full stop.

      • Marigold says:

        When you can take a minute to accept the liability that comes with being an OBGYN and consider why their malpractice insurance is so astronomical, you might pause before you go throwing around “her body, her choice” bullshit. No one is entitled to have major abdominal surgery just because and a doctor who allows that should have their qualifications as a physician questioned.

    • Birdix says:

      It’s weird to me that they keep saying naturally instead of vaginally. I keep thinking they mean she had no interventions (epidural, etc).

      • Syko says:

        I thought the same thing. Vaginal birth would be the proper term, “natural” birth means without the aid of anesthetics.

      • GiGi says:

        Medically speaking a vaginal birth is always referred to as a “natural birth” and a c-section as a “surgical birth” or just as a c-section.

  14. MonicaQ says:

    All I can think of is Cobra Kai…

    Which must be the motto of her grandma. Strike hard. Strike fast. No mercy, ma’m.

  15. Hahahahaha says:

    (unnamed)Source(sneezes KRIS)talking about being protective..LIKE MY NAME:HAHAHA.The nannies are busy busy.Botox has to be redone..Fillers, ass shots,(how the FUKC did i get like this)getting figure back,NO breast feeding.No getting up every 3 hours to feed and change baby. A REAL MOTHER does al the above, without BITCHING about it..SHE (real mother) Wants to,she doesnt HAVE TO,like Kim has to,cause Pimp MOMMY says so.

  16. Hahahahaha says:

    Kanye was in the delivery room…doesnt want to leaf babies side..Sources…ahahah so tranparant…

  17. Dedrie says:

    Oh kaaaaaaaaaaai! Better than Kenya or Kaboom

  18. Yelly says:

    That name’s kinda cute.

  19. Miss so and so says:

    at least they (hopefully) are naming her KLAMP…

  20. Tiffany27 says:

    The flow is weird though. I think a 2 syllable first name would have worked best with the 1 syllable last name like West. Anyway, congrats to them and hopefully her ankles have returned to a non painful looking size.

    • UsedToBeLulu says:

      The hell of being induced means she will likely have LOTS of fluid retention for at least a couple of weeks. Pitocin does that to you.

    • lisa says:

      honestly it sounds like it is missing a syllable but it seems to be getting more popular, one of those trump grandkids is a kai

      i dont like it but it is fairly decent esp if you consider the source

  21. Nev says:

    Yes cute name if this is true.

  22. Bopit says:

    Yeah I bet he’ll be “like..In love with that baby” when she poops her pants and is up every 90 minutes. Oh wait…never mind…that’s what nannies are for. I totes forgot.

  23. Quinn says:

    Later, that baby will change her name to PLEASESAVEME.

  24. EllieK says:

    I’ll bet Kim developed preeclampsia and had early labor induction. Her leg swelling looked beyond normal pregnancy swelling. Preeclampsia is more likely to happen with first pregnancies and in women >30. Glad baby is okay.

    I wish that celebrities would bring awareness to pregnancy complications like preeclampsia. More awareness = more public support for research. Little is known about this disease, which kills babies and mothers.

    • Lem says:

      That is what I said, she most likely had preclampsia. She certainly looked it. An induced birth is not natural, strictly speaking. I highly doubt ms. whiney had pitocen without an epidural.
      why do celebrities feel the need to lie about a natural birth?

      • GiGi says:

        Natural = vaginal delivery – nothing to do with drugs.

      • nicegirl says:

        Um, yes, an INDUCED birth is considered a NATURAL birth (at least medically).

        I agree with Gigi the above and on earlier posts, it certainly does seem as if some folks commenting have not completed basic health education.

        Best of luck!

  25. ErinINPitt says:

    No way this kids name isn’t going to have Kardashian in it somewhere. Kris will never allow her latest and greatest publicity stunt to only have the name “West”.

    And just to jump in here – I don’t buy for one second that baby was early. And under 5lbs? Any Dr who was treating her would have checked the weight in utero, noticed the it was low, and had her ass on bedrest. She was plane hopping, shopping, and calling the paps so she could bitch about it when they showed up till the last second. To me, it smacks of just another way to ramp up drama for the show (what a lucky coincidence it wraps this week!)

    • Itsa Reallyme says:

      AGREED! I feel the same way!

    • Marigold says:

      First of all, weight checks are not scientific. They are, at best, an educated guess and are typically a pound off either way. Secondly, if she were 5 weeks early, less than 5lb would have been totally healthy. In the last month, fetuses gain half a pound a week.

  26. Joy says:

    I”m pretty sure that regardless of whatever first name/middle names they choose the last name of the baby will be Kardashian-West.

  27. mommak918 says:

    I was PRAYING it wasnt Kai. My two year old son is Kie…..and I love it. I LOATH Kim and Kanye….please please tell me this isnt so.

    Sad, depressed and now more sad.
    UGH

  28. skipper says:

    My daughter’s name is Kaia so I think Kai is a wonderful name. I know that Kaia is Greek and means goddess of the earth. I’ve only heard of men named Kai but I think it just as beautiful for a little girl.

    • arock says:

      love Kaia!

    • Jennifer12 says:

      Get out! My daughter is named that as well. I never knew anyone with that name, but it is getting more popular, which drives me nuts. There’s a cereal named that, Jessica Simpson shoe named that, Trumps and KK naming their kids Kai…. ugh. No one ever gets my daughter’s name right, but now?

  29. Jayna says:

    No. No. I want the name Georgia if I ever have another little girl. The Kardashian name can’t be attached to it. It will ruin it for me.

    • Lemony says:

      I would like to use that name too, it’s a family name on my mother’s side of the family. Lots of Georgias, Georginas, & Georgiannas in the family.

  30. MsAubra says:

    I bet they may go with something conventional like Katherine (pronounced Ka-ther-eeen)

  31. Maddie says:

    Kanye was born in Atlanta, Georgia…

  32. PinkG says:

    Just name her, “Doomed” and get it over with.

  33. judyjudy says:

    It’s so weird to me that people care so much about how the baby was delivered. Healthy mom, healthy baby, that is all we need to know.

    I feel very passionately about my own birth choices and will happily share my story with those who are interested. But that doesn’t mean I think what any other woman does is wrong and I won’t judge anyone else’s choice. And I realize not everyone wants to hear my perspective. Arguing how someone decides to give birth is so unproductive and hurtful.

    I think Kim and Kanye are ridiculous people but there is no doubt that this baby will be cared for and cherished.

    And I think the name Kai West is an awesome name.

    • arock says:

      agree with every statement.
      ill make fun of ones makeup or shoes but never your birth choices or kids. and anyways, the former is a goldmine.;)

    • Jennifer12 says:

      I completely agree with you. People say dumb things about birthing, as though the only possible way to go is natural, no meds. There are many ways to birth kids and they are safe ways. Who cares about meds, c-sections, or whatever? The baby is the thing. I hear the same judgmental crap about breastfeeding vs. formula. Good, healthy food is the thing, not which is going to get the mom more props.

  34. SolitaryAngel says:

    I can’t stand KK or KW but I’m going to say something nice today in honor of the baby.

    I’ve known several women who, before they had their first babies, I wouldn’t have entrusted a pet rock into their care–but after? Different story. They became very different people; caring, responsible and settled. It was nice to know them after that; one of those women was my own sister. I hope for the baby’s sake–whatever her name is–that KK and KW undergo the same transformation. 🙂

    I love the name Kai!

  35. mogul says:

    A Mediatakeout source says that the baby’s name it’s not KAI GEORGIA DONDA WEST but simply KAIDENCE DONDA WEST, so it’s still Kai if you want too.

    Love that name.. Kris has been clear about her first guest will be Kim & baby. Let’s move on?

  37. Sam says:

    I like Kai for a boy, but Kaia for a girl

  38. Mew says:

    Kai West like Key West, Florida? Nice. Maybe the next kid will be Hawaii or something.

  39. melmel says:

    how about Kenya. It has all the letters in Kanye

  40. palermo says:

    breathless updates??? LOL I doubt people are that excited

  41. Lexi says:

    We will know soon enough, hopefully it’ll be a more normal name than apple!!!!

  42. handsome man saved me from the monsters says:

    In love with a baby? Gross

  43. duchessofhazard says:

    I like the name Kai. A collegemate of mine was called Kai (a tall, willowy, statuesque girl) and she was one of the better people I knew. It’s a great name, and because it’s short it will be easy to spell!

  44. Ciru says:

    Lol..I could not reply to the specific comment for some reason, but I’m from Kenya and speak Swahili, and Kai is defo NOT a girl’s name meaning lovable.

  45. MousieBrown says:

    One of the Trump grand kids is named Kai, I think.

    I was imagining Kinya, as a combo of their names.

  46. Madison says:

    I can’t wait to find out the name!!! I love them, they’re a gorgeous couple and I wish them a very happy life together!

  47. Madison says:

    I can’t wait to find out the name!!! I love them, they’re a gorgeous couple and I wish them a very happy life together.

  48. Cool Phosphorescent Shimmer says:

    Kai is a cool name. Isn’t Jennifer Connelly’s oldest son named Kai?

    I think Kim ought to marry Kanye and change her own first name to WickedWitchofthe. Just saying.

  49. abbizmal says:

    What the hell kinda GD outfit is that too-tight white number? It looks like old school nurse’s uniform with ripped sleeves. Kim, please lay off the plastic surgery because those lips are very distracting and not for the reason intended. I do like the name Kai though.

  50. Qwerty says:

    Please dear lord NO. My daughters name is Kaia. I had a feeling she’d go this route seeing as how there’s a limited amt of K names for a girl and PMK has pretty much used all of them 🙁

  51. nancypants says:

    I think Kai is cute and it could be used for a boy or a girl. I like it.
    I don’t know that I would name my kid that but it’s cute.

    Of course, it’s one of those names that could be lengthened: Kai-lee but it won’t be shortened.

    Ashley used to be a boy name and at one time – 1990 or so – it was the most popular girl name within the US and I think the name Georgia is cute too.

    IF this is the name they have chosen then I’m pretty darn happy about it.

    I figured they would name her something weird like Somali Armenia Africa West.

    Imagine spelling THAT for the rest of your life.

  52. Sugarrbunny says:

    I know 5 different people with dogs named Kai, from a Doberman to a beagle

  53. Anaya says:

    On twitter it’s being said the baby is named ‘Kaidence Donda West’. If so I think that’s a very pretty name. 🙂

  54. mar says:

    I hear it is Kaidence, which I LOVE, and Kai will probably be the nickname?

  55. anon says:

    It’s all the K’s spin. There putting there own stuff out there.There the master manipulator at media. They have insiders feeding crap. It keeps them in the news. I do agree with celebitchy it would not surprise me in the least that Kim hit a wall and had enough. I do not feel she ever embraced her pregnancy and that alone is sad but it happens.Kanye is supposed to start touring this week isn’t it promoting. I find it quite amazing ihe has not been spotted at the hospital period. Are we to believe he hasn’t left the hospital?There are still a few unanswered questions to this whole media blitz and its the way the K’s like it.I actually think that it’s the haters that keep them relevant with much of there disgust

  56. Vestal Virgin says:

    I can’t get past the fact that where I’m from (New Zealand) Kai is a Maori word that means food. I doubt that Kimye would know that but it makes me think she’s going to eat her baby!

  57. G says:

    It’s Kaidence Donda West….

  58. Bella says:

    They say the baby looks JUST LIKE HIM!

  59. TeresaMaria says:

    Kai is a very common name for women in Estonia. It was especially popular about 30 years ago, so at school there was a Kai in every class.

  60. lrm says:

    actually, I [american] know Kai as a hawaiian name meaning ‘the sea’. there are lots of Kai starting words/names in hawaiian-kailani, etc.
    I know several Kai children, all named for the Hawaiian.
    I like names that mean something in multiple, very different cultures.
    If it is Kai, that’s a solid name and no shade from me.

  61. Novaraen says:

    Ugh…this child is doomed. What a way to start…forced out of the womb and into the Kartrashian workforce by PMK. Gotta get good ratings for their damned show!! /facepalm

  62. Jag says:

    Kai is a boys’ name imo, but at least it’s not as bad as some of the other celebrity kids’ names. My guess is that they’re shopping the reveal of the name and first picture around, so they won’t release it until they get their payday.

  63. bunny says:

    Just heard d full name is kaidence donda west# wt does kaidence mean?

  64. Marybel says:

    Is it pronounced Kay or Kie?

  65. anon says:

    C sections are a womans choice I feel but at due date not 5 weeks early for ratings & media. That is insane and any DOC that would be willing to deliver needs to be looked at seriously looked at. Something is very wrong with that if that is what took place here. Shame on the doc & Shame on KIM and the K’s for being so narcisitic that there need to be all end all. What ever happened to our society and what will happen to our young girls growing into women. We have golden enemas, we have running around with SEX toys we have a glorifed porn star that gets more media then any one in the world. This is beyond insane and no boundaries. sad I feel for the young women that think this is the lifestyle to lead

    • jwoolman says:

      We don’t really know what happened or anything really, since Kardashian is now a synonym for Liar Liar Pants on Fire. It’s possible that either Kim or the baby or both were having problems that made it a good choice to just get that baby out fast, either by not trying to stop labor or by surgery. The lack of fanfare from the Kardashian Kamp is worrisome. There may be something wrong with either Kim or the baby. We can always hope that maternal instincts kick in, but they didn’t for Mama Ten Percent. Kim might also be at risk for major post-partum depression. Heck, she seemed to have major pre-partum depression.

  66. Official Bitch says:

    Boy’s name.

  67. Official Bitch says:

    I also think Kim was “full term.”
    I just think she was messing while married so they fiddled with her conception dates.

  68. Stef says:

    Whelp. This kinda sucks. I wanted to name my future kid (one which hopefully will be concieved sometime this year) Kai which means ocean in Hawaiian… I even got pregnant around the same time as Kim but mine ended up as an ectopic where my right tube needed to be removed at three months. It’s been tough watching her get bigger and bigger since I would have been at the same stage but at least she had a healthy baby. Now I have to change my babies name otherwise it’ll seem like I’m copying her!

    I really do hope she and Kanye love and care for that baby for the next eighteen years,

  69. Kai says:

    Its not just a boys name, my name is Kai and I’m a female!
    it means ocean breeze in Hawaiian and willow tree in Navajo Indian

  70. Liz says:

    Ara means “beautiful” in Armenian, if you want a K name you could always name her Kara, the middle name doesn’t really matter to me or anyone else because you won’t say it on a daily basis.

    Just my thoughts from NYC…

  71. Aja says:

    I say some thing like Brielle.Bre’Gann,Kristina,Crystal,Kelly,Payton,Or even Kris.!
