Kim Kardashian & Kanye West really did name their kid North ‘Nori’ West

I can’t believe In Touch Weekly was right. I really, really can’t believe it! Every other tabloid claimed that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were totally going to do a “K” name and everyone had allegedly settled on something like Kai, Kaidence, something like that, with “Donda” as a middle name. But as it turns out, In Touch Weekly was right to declare that Kimye had settled on…

NORTH WEST.

For real. People Mag confirms it. TMZ confirms it. They got their hands on the baby’s birth certificate, and they say the baby’s name is North [no middle name] West. Apparently, Kim and Kanye had a change of heart about giving the baby girl a “K” name and North was their fall-back position or something. It’s being confirmed by multiple sources now.

Us Weekly’s source says: “They will call her Nori for short.” Us Weekly actually had a story yesterday afternoon that Kim and Kanye were NOT going to go with a K name and that the “Kaidence” name had been rejected.

Us Weekly’s sources also say, “Everybody is doing great. The baby is so sweet. Kanye is in love. Kim’s real due date was July 12 — Kanye’s mom’s birthday. That warmed his heart.” Bulls—t! People Mag said in their cover story that Kim was only three weeks early, but Us Weekly is sticking with the “five weeks early” story.

As for the name… I hate to admit this, but I liked the idea of “Kaidence West” so much more. Kai West is a cute name, I thought. But North? Ugh. Nori West sounds like a restaurant.

    Of course.

      a GPS..

      • Colu says:

        I actually think they should have gone with North Kardashian West. It’s a strong name, especially for a celeb. I just don’t like it with no middle name.
        Can’t wait for the Blue/North play dates. Lol

      • Liv says:

        Haha!

        Seriously, what’s going on in their brains? North West?! Poor kid.

      • springingforward says:

        I’d wager that as part of their contract, Kanye got to choose the name.
        No way Kim would willingly go with North a non-K beginning name and no middle name.

        Am I Right?

      • mrspatrickbateman says:

        I don’t understand the whole she wouldn’t willingly give up a K name, Kourtney has a girl and her name does not start with a K. So why would Kim be the only one to carry on the K names to a new generation? It was something her mother did for her children, I don’t see how Kim is included in that.

    • Umm..no says:

      That’s a direction…not a name…FFS these two are idiots!

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        Also, “Nori” is the Japanese name for edible seaweed 😒

      • Sabrine says:

        18 won’t come too soon for this child with the idiot parents. She’ll be down at Vital Statistics changing that name as soon as doors open.

      • Pandy says:

        No kidding LOL. And how is the two-syllable Nori the short version of one-syllable North? #theregoesthegenepool

      • Lizzy says:

        I don’t usually speculate about celebrities and their personal lives but the train wreck that is Kim kardashian, somehow I can’t resist. I completely agree with you, I think he called the shots with this, just like he dictates how she dresses, how much makeup she wears and how she does her hair. To each their own, but she’s clearly been a doormat with him, which he will grow extremely tired of. The name is stupid. A very poor attempt at being original and witty.

      • Lizzy says:

A very poor attempt at being original and witty.

      • Catherine Alpern says:

        Actually, I think Nori is a lovely name. Very feminine

      • Itsa Reallyme says:

        Maybe they should have gone with Kompass. lol

      • VioletCrumble says:

        Pandy, that’s exactly what I thought. As a teacher, I know about syllables…! So this poor girl gets only a compass direction? Other celebs give their kid a whole state (Dakota), entire country (India) or massive corporation (Apple), but this poor little kid, apart from being saddled with such a toxic family, only warrants a compass point.

        FFS.

    • Dana M says:

      Sounds like a bad nightmare to me. But whatever.

      Here in austin we DO have a restaurant called North by North West. I’m sure they’d love to host her 1st bday party.

      Kaidence West WOULD have been better.

      I know what it’s like waiting til the last day after the baby is born to pick a name and feeling pressure from DH to side with him. I bet Kim gave up and agreed to “North” , especially if she had complications and not to mention the 1st time parent sleepless nights.

      “Nori” is my kids favorite Sea Weed snack.LOL

      • lovegossip says:

        “First time parents sleepless nights”? Her??? HA I highly doubt she will be up with the baby. She will pay someone for that and only bring her out for publicity. 😉

    • FinallyFr33 says:

      This has narcissist written all over it!!
      According to the urban dictionary:
      1. nori : Pretty much a god in human form. Nori can do no wrong, and is perfect in everyway. It is when one is so so good at something that they must be compared to the Superhuman lifeform that is “Nori”.

      Sound like a someone we know that thinks they are God!?!?!

  2. Pixie says:

    OH MY GOD. Now, I have an unusual name, but when I heard this I actually whimpered for the poor child. North West?! Kim and Kanye are actually, full blow f**kin retarded. That poor child- as if she won’t have enough problems growing up with a narcissistic, overbearing mother and grandmother.

    • MonicaQ says:

      I don’t think mamas and daddys understand when they give their child “snowflake” names what they’re setting them up for.

      I’ll tell you what. It’s hell. My name isn’t even that difficult and people see it, freeze, and then have the “O LAWD IMMA SAY THIS WRONG LET ME ADD SOME “IQUAS” IN IT” moment. I spell it with the military alphabet whenever I’m on the phone automatically.

      North is easier but if that baby ever get plastic surgery, someone is going to call her “North Face” like the brand, watch what I tell you. RUN BABY RUN!

      • janie says:

        “the “O LAWD IMMA SAY THIS WRONG LET ME ADD SOME “IQUAS” IN IT” moment”

        LOL!

    • Meredith says:

      I knew we weren’t safe or more precisely that baby K wasn’t safe. A stupid name was forthcoming, no escape. But this is bulls**t. Poor baby. Cutesy names are OK for babies but babies grow up to be adults with jobs and children. The best advice I heard on baby names was to imagine how it would sound in 40 years when your child was vice-president of finance at a bank. “Ms. North West has some great numbers in from our Asian operation”. Not so much.

      • Erica says:

        I totally agree, but let’s get real here – this child is not going to grow up to be the vice presidents of finance at a bank. I’m sure the name North West will suit her just fine for whatever they have in store for her

      • Sarah Talks says:

        I agree but you have to admit it’s better than the name Meredith.

      • samr says:

        Sounds like a stripper name. 🙂

    • Poink517 says:

      Yeah, I’m really surprised. I gave her too much credit – I really didn’t think she was that dumb.

      • Meaghan says:

        This reeks of Kanye and his ego. I can’t believe Kim wouldn’t argue for a K name, I bet she gave in to Kanye in hopes it will keep him loving her. It seems like she is truly worried he is going to leave her and will stop at nothing to prevent this from happening.

      • pk says:

        I agree with you Meaghan expect I think her worrying Kanye will leave her has more to do with ego and publicity than love. Sad they’ve involved an innocent baby in all this. And that name!!

      • Nina W says:

        The “k” name always smelled like a red herring, her sister didn’t “k” name her kids, why should Kim?

      • Meaghan says:

        I thought they would because of the K in both their names. How stupid of me to think for a SECOND that kanye wouldn’t name his kid after him. I am so sick of stupid celebrity kid names. I am convinced they name them weird for the publicity. And I love Everly even more now!

    • SW says:

      Haha…that made me literally lol. What o do feel bad about is that the babies birth certificate was stolen. Even in our celebrity obsessed culture, that seems a but much. I know Kim K is a famewhore…but a babies birth certificate? Really?

  3. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    ROTFL!! They actually called their child North West? A “K” name woulda been better tbh, I can’t believe these people lol, whose idea was this name primarily? Kanye’s? Kim’s?

    • brin says:

      Maybe the’ll spell it Knorth West…either way it sounds like the name of a GPS.

      • marie says:

        ha, they are setting that kid up for some serious ribbing.

      • Tulip Garden says:

        To me it sounds like the name of a weather condition…like nor’ easter.

        Talking Head Weather Guy with shellacked hair and super white teeth says, “…and we are expecting a lot of trouble from the North West. I’ll be heading outside to stand in the middle of it and report to you about just how important it is that YOU stay inside and seek cover….back to you, Paula”

    • A says:

      I actually like North West.

      But Kanye clearly won this fight.

      K(ai) West
      North West

      Kanye so won.

  4. DanaG says:

    Well Nori is seaweed so welcome to the world North Seaweed west. Thank goodness it’s easy to change your name cause this kid will be. I’m guessing they don’t think she is going to run for President or anything not with such a laughable name.

    • JenD says:

      I immediately thought of sushi when I saw Nori West, so I’m glad to know it didn’t pop into my head randomly. 🙂

    • Meredith says:

      Yes, it’s possible to change your name and fix your parents’ whimsical mistake. Just ask Zoey Bowie (David Bowie’s son now called Joe) and Free Carradine (David Carridine’s son now called John or Joe, not sure). Why, why, WHY, WHY, do parents do this to a helpless child they claim to love? Stupid egotistical people.

      • janie says:

        David Bowie named his son Zowie Bowie, who later changed his name to Duncan Jones. Free Carradine later changed his name to Tom.

        Just clarifying 🙂

      • Norman Bates' Mother says:

        Duncan Jones is a great movie director now. When someone asked him on Twitter why he changed his name from Zowie to Duncan, he replied that he was never officially named Zowie (as the first name). His given birth name was Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones. Everyone called him Zowie Bowie when he was young and that was the name which was used in the press but David Bowie had enough common sense to leave Duncan in the birth certificate.

      • MousieBrown says:

        Yes, so did Mia Farrow/Woody Allen’s son.

      • Rumorhasit says:

        Just ask Destiny Hope Cyrus…she changed that not too long ago.

    • sarah says:

      Ah! Okay thanks! I was wondering why Nori reminded me of sushi right away!

      I can’t believe they named her North, but what’s even more shocking is the lack of KARDASHIAN in her name. How will it all play out if/when these two “break up” ?

    • chasingadalia says:

      When she’s screwed up enough to become a stripper, she can become North Pole!

      Or… she can become Captain America’s superhero wife North America…

      Or… she can become a Disney pop icon and be North Star…

      I’ll stop there. Too much to work with, my brain is overloading.

  5. L says:

    Well, now no one has to worry that Kimye are going to steal their baby name.

    North (sans the last name) isn’t so bad. For a boy baby. But Nori? Like the sea weed? This might be the worst baby name ever

    • RHONYC says:

      nope.
      Beyonce is.
      🙄

      • vicky says:

        For Realz!!! Hat ethat damn name!! BEYONCE!! African American people embarrass me with their stupid names!Laquanda, Laquisha, Nadari,Keneisha…yeezus! And I am black!

      • daisy says:

        you mean bianca?

    • LadyMTL says:

      LOL, this is exactly what I was thinking. As if North West isn’t bad enough, the poor girl’s nickname is “seaweed”. So if she doesn’t sound like a music festival she’ll make everyone think of sushi…?

    • Ok says:

      I disagree. North (sans the last name) is a bad name. It is a direction.

      As a first name it is stupid and ugly.

      There are 19 million beautiful female names to choose from and they slapped the baby with this moronic moniker.

      The old saying holds true — you don’t have to have brains to have kids. These are two seriously stupid people.

      • ataylor says:

        People keep commenting that had they didnt name the kid South because Southwest was already trademarked. What people don’t realize is that they DID name their kid after an airline. A defunct airline. Northwest Airlines. I believe it merged with American Eagle or American Airlines in the mid aughts?

        Yeah. Good luck trying to brand THAT name.

        No joke.

    • Pia says:

      Not a fan of North West, but I’m surprised by all of the people who are not familiar with the name Nori. I grew up with one, and it was short for Cornelia. I also know a horse named Norrie. I think people automatically go to seaweed/sushi because sushi is so much more popular here in America than it used to be.

  6. Jackie Jormp Jomp (formerly Zelda) says:

    Nori? I see smell jokes in her adolescence…

  7. boredbrit says:

    Nori? As in the seaweed? Um ok then.

  8. LL says:

    The name would be alright if the last name wasn’t West. Or they could have named her Knorth. That would have fit the ‘K’ quota.

    Or even Key – its ridiculous but its starts with a ‘K’.

    • Esmom says:

      Key West, that’s funny. I once met a girl named Kelly Green.

      • MademoiselleRose says:

        OMG and I thought it couldn’t get worse for the poor kid.

        But, I did know guy at school, many years ago, whose name was Dwayne Pipe. Some parents are just mean.

      • Colu says:

        I honestly live in a very small southern town and went to school with a girl named Summer Snow and a guy named Rusty Nails. I’d rather be North West I think.

      • Redheadwriter says:

        I knew a Pepper Weiner.

      • StormsMama says:

        My friend went to a boarding school – they have a headmaster instead of a principle- and the headmasters name was Dick Head. Kid you not. His name was Richard but he went by Divk; his last name was Head; he was the HEADMASTER; and he was surrounded by high school kids. Smh

      • the original bellaluna says:

        My parents had friends (a couple) with 4 boys. They WANTED that little girl!

        And when they got her, they named her (wait for it!) DOVE CROW. (Crow was their last name.)

    • Chicagogurl says:

      I used to work with a lady named Mary Joon and she named her daughter April May Joon….and April was slutty.

  9. pfeiffer87 says:

    I find it quite disgusting that these outlets can get hold of the child’s birth certificate – I know her parents signed up for it but violating the privacy of a newborn seems a bit much.

    • Kate says:

      It’s a public record, though. I agree with you on the ickiness of it, but it’s legal to get it.

    • chibichichai says:

      can they put out of fake birth certificate in public records? I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt that they are not that stupid. or rather someone in their management team is not that stupid. maybe put out a fake birth certificate because they knew it was public records and the real name is kaidence.

      I wish nothing but the best for this little girl. sure she is rich but with her parents and grandmother she has as well add the name given (if the name really ifs north) it doesn’t look like they’re giving her the best start in life.

      • Moore says:

        That’s what I was thinking. Maybe they’re playing a seriously crappy joke. North can not be that baby’s name.

    • NeNe says:

      It’s not a shame when their parents are famewh*res. Every single thing they say and do is calculated. They want us to know all of their business, because if/when we all stop talking about them they will just fall of the face of this earth. Well, at least, I could hope that happens.

  10. lisa2 says:

    I actually loved the name Kaidence Donda West. It was really pretty.

    I just don’t get North.. but it is not my child so..

    • Kim1 says:

      Yeah the gossip blogger who made it up did a good job.Kim said she would name the baby North months ago on Leno
      .She never said she would name the baby a K name. HaHaHa I love when most of the gossip sites are wrong. I hate the name though.

      • CJ says:

        Actually she laughed when Leno mentioned it and said it definitely wasn’t on the list of names. She wanted to call the baby Easton.

  11. Rose says:

    Meh, I don’t mind it so much, it’s got a cleanness to it I suppose. could be worse?

    • Ok says:

      Rose — I disagree. It is a stupid name

    • stinky says:

      im not seeing whats so very offensive about “Nori West’. I think its a cute name… I also thought “Easton West” was cute. It’s NOT the same as ‘Rusty Nail’! (but ‘Dwayne Pipe’ was a good one!!! hahaaaa….)

  12. pao la says:

    Of course only because grandma’s name is the evil witch of the South and of the East. they needed another one to make things good again.

  13. Ellie says:

    Oh my God. That poor child has to go her whole life being named after a direction. I feel for her.

  14. Amelia says:

    . . .At least it’s not a ‘K’.
    I suppose that’s a middle finger of sorts to her mother whose name I’ve forgotten.

    • TG says:

      Well she moved in with mommy so I don’t think this trick is strong enough to give mommy the middle finger. Kimmy does whatever mommy tells her to do.

  15. Willa says:

    Nori West DOES sound like a restaurant! Uugh…just uugh.

    • Esmom says:

      I think it would be cute if it was spelled “Nory.” Reminds me of the novel “The Everlasting Story of Nory,” which was great. I think it was short for Eleanor.

      • Flora Kitty says:

        That is kind of cute but I doubt that either of them (especially Kim) has ever actually read a book.

      • mojoman says:

        yeah I doubt Kanye ever read that book. He is too busy sulking or getting mad at everyone.

  16. dorothy says:

    Poor child better have some good coping skills for the playground.

  17. Neekie says:

    Lol!!!! These two have the combined IQ of a tomato.

    • Jen says:

      I bet heirloom tomatoes have higher IQs.

      Maybe the child’s middle name is Sashimi or maybe Sushi since they have a Japanese food theme going with Nori. Poor, poor child. Doomed to constant teasing and she is not even a week old yet. The parents are selfish idiots.

    • mimifarrow says:

      Sun-dried tomato. 🙂

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Agree. No offense to tomatoes.

    • gefeylich says:

      That’s not fair to the tomatoes. Tomatoes would never give their daughter an automatic stripper/Japanese seaweed name.

      Now, how soon will it be before Kartrashian starts selling photos/parading her kid around for the paps/making plans for a “Nosing Around with Nori!” reality series on E!? Ha ha, trick questions! All of those things are done deals, brokered by Pimp Grandma Kris.

  18. Hoya_chick says:

    LMFAO. That’s all. Carry on.

  19. Bree says:

    Thats a shitty name.

  20. Birdie says:

    Simply awful! Worst “name” ever.

    • Yvonne says:

      Eh. We’ve also got a Blue Ivy, Pilot Inspektor, Audio Science, and a Denim, so in the scope of celebrity baby names this isn’t that awful. Though I’ll admit, the first thing that came to mind when I heard the poor kid’s name was sushi!

      • LAK says:

        Not forgetting Heavenly Haraani Tiger Lily Hutchence and her sisters Fifi Trixibelle Geldof, Honeyblossom Peaches Geldof and Little Pixie Geldof

  21. The Original G says:

    Another is s along list of consistently dumb decisions by KK. Dumb. No one needs these two making up new names. No One.

  22. Lamb says:

    “They will call her Nori for short.”

    Nori takes longer to say than North. Ugh, terrible.

    • SunnySide says:

      Exactly what I was thinking! Nori has 2 syllables.

      I feel so sorry for this poor child.

    • Liberty says:

      Thanks for writing that. My friends and I were laughing about the same thing. Oh poor little baby, what else are you in for?

    • Itsa Reallyme says:

      Yes! Gotta love the “shortened” names. lol

      Why not avoid the whole seaweed thing and call her Nora? You know, like an actual name, Kim!

  23. Kaye says:

    I actually like it.

  24. lisa says:

    i smell fish!

    seriously mercy kardashian west had a better name and we all know how that ended

  25. lem says:

    i’m probably the only one who LIKES the name “nori west”. It does sound like a restaurant but it’s different without being ridiculous (IMHO) AND it’s not a K name, which gives me some hope that KK is rebelling against Mother Satan and her marketing of the family.

    • chibichichai says:

      i like the name nori too but in good faith i could never imagine naming a child seaweed.

    • Ok says:

      Only problem is that the name is North. They would only call her Nori because on some level they realize that North is a stupid name.

  26. Ali says:

    They really made Blue Ivy a better name. Good for them!

  27. Kate says:

    There are so many beautiful girl names out there and they name her North? The nickname doesn’t make it any better, either. Did they forget that they were naming a HUMAN and not some clothing line or something? What a joke.

  28. MoxyLady007 says:

    I think it’s kind of cute.

  29. Shade says:

    Cue the ‘North by North West’ baby clothing line. I’m not that surprised. They really ARE that stupid.

  30. serena says:

    What a horrible name for a poor little girl…Kanye should be ashamed of himself and Kim too for going along with such a dumbass.

  31. Tiffany27 says:

    They really named that baby after a cheap a** airline? Whatever good luck Nori! At least you will have some amazing nannies.

  32. tracking says:

    I thought this was a joke…

  33. Nic says:

    I don’t get why her last name would be West – they aren’t married, are they?

    • Emily says:

      In our patriarchal society kids of unwed parents or parents who have different last names – the kid will usually take the father’s last name. It seems ridiculous in this day and age!

      Call her North Kardashian!
      Or North West Kardashian

      • Tiffany27 says:

        North Kardashian actually sounds cute. Way better than North West. I don’t like 1 syllable first names with 1 syllable last names.

    • marie says:

      no, but he’s the Kayne is the father and signed the birth certificate. you don’t have to be married for the child to take the dad’s last name.

      • TG says:

        I just saw over on TMZ that Kanye didn’t sign the birth certificate only Kimmy. Strange. He probably wasn’t even there.

      • marie says:

        really? interesting..

      • gogoGorilla says:

        I certainly hope he didn’t sign the birth certificate. If you sign without paternity testing, you are legally on the hook. I’m sure his managers are insisting that he cover all the bases by demanding a DNA test first. (Can you blame them??)

    • MrsB says:

      No but usually the baby takes the father’s last name unless the mother objects to it.

    • Maxilius says:

      Children normally take the father’s ( or a hyphenated combo of both parents’ names ) when born. Regardless of marital status. It’s tradition or something.

    • MonicaQ says:

      I took my mom’s, not my dads. My half brother took his dad’s, not my mom’s. It really depends on the family.

    • Nic says:

      Thanks all for the explanation(s)! It’s a new thing to me – the single moms I know gave the child their own last name.

    • Malificent says:

      From a legal standpoint, you can give your child whatever last name you want. It doesn’t have to be the mother’s name or the father’s — you can legally give them any surname.

    • Amanda says:

      Most children have their father’s last name unless the father is not involved in any way. I guess this means Kanye won’t be an absent father after all.

        Or it’s a play for more child support and publicity.

        (Colour me jaded, but that’s what I suspect.)

  34. LAK says:

    In a world of celebrity nonsense, North West is remarkably tame.

  35. Poppy says:

    I don’t mind the name North – my daughter has a little girl called Northey in her class. Personally I’d shorten it to Nora, not Nori though.

    North West however… Fuckwits.

    I like Cadence (Kaidence if you must) too.

    • Thinker says:

      This Cadence is happy they left my name alone. I do have a smidge of pity for this kid. Northwest is a direction, not a full name.

    • Amanda says:

      Nora West would have been a really cute name. Why didn’t they go with that?

  36. Emily says:

    Maybe not with West as a last name but I like the name North for a girl… It seems cute.

    Bleurgghhh I be she wasn’t due July 12 but they’ve changed it so it could be Kanye’s mum’s birhday… I find that icky

    oh wow. poor child.

  42. Starrywonder says:

    Let the tradition of celebrities giving their children horrible names continue.

  43. the original bellaluna says:

    Poor little Konsequence Kouture, doomed to a directional name!

  44. Samigirl says:

    Uhh. Nori for short? North is also just one syllable. Why not name her Nori?

    • Erinn says:

      Lol, I woke up at like 430 am and couldn’t sleep. I read the radar online article about the name, and was like “Wait… a two syllable name is SHORT for a one syllable one?”. I just chalked it up to being half asleep, but I guess even half asleep, I make more sense than Kimye.

  45. Apsutter says:

    Kai would have been cute. I actually think the nickname nori is cute tho

  46. cloud&feather says:

    Did anyone tell these idiots that Nori has more syllables than North so you can’t use it as a SHORT nickname for North??

    Or that nori is seaweed?

    Or that North West was an airline?

    • Stef Leppard says:

      A nickname doesn’t have to be shorter than the name. Like Anne and Annie.

      • cloud&feather says:

        I know that. That’s not the point I was making.

        The “source” says: “they will call her Nori for short.”

  47. BlackMamba says:

    Omg that Kaidence Donda West name was beautiful. Why would they do this?!
    I think I’ve been too concern with that baby story because I’m having some weird withdrawal symptoms since I already thought of the baby as “Kaidence” and now I have to get use to North. Oh God, I’m a loser! The evil K family has won. Ugh.

  48. Katie says:

    YES! Nailed it!

    lol at those of you feeling sorry for this kid’s NAME. That is the least of her issues. Her parents are worse than something she can change when she’s 18. It’s not like she’s going to win a Nobel Prize.

  49. Alexandra says:

    There is One Direction and then…there’s North West.

    Good luck little one. You’re going to need it.

  53. Talie says:

    Well, it’s not like this little girl is ever going to grow into some kind of normal life…so, I think her name is sort of irrelevant as weird as that sounds. It’s not like she has to worry about her resume making an impression.

    • Nina W says:

      That’s not the point, no child should be saddled with a vanity license plate for a name, her parents suck.

  54. Another Ann says:

    So when they get together with their pals Bey & Jay, the kids are Ivy and Seaweed.

    Lovely.

  55. Mar says:

    Just terrible. Nothing cute, sweet, girlish or interesting about this name.

  56. BeesKnees says:

    This is like when Rob Morrow, the actor from Northern Exoposure and Numbers, named his daughter Tu Morrow. It may seem cute and funny now, but it’s going to get old eventually. If I remember correctly, David Bowie had a son named Zowie Bowie who changed his name when he was an adult. Leave it up to these two to come up with a stupid name, did we expect any less? Kai and Kaidence were far too normal for me to believe.

  57. The Original Mia says:

    These idiots actually named their child a direction. Seriously. They are so narcisstic. Couldn’t even consider their child. Just themselves. Poor Nori or Lil’ Seaweed for short.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Hahahaha! You made me LOL and snort with “Lil Seaweed!” (Thanks for that.) 😀

  58. Beatrice says:

    I wasn’t crazy about naming the baby Donda, even though it was Ye’s mother’s name. However, that would have been a lot better than North. Kids are resilient, though, and seem to rise above (or change) the strange names their parents give them.

  59. hadleyb says:

    How did they get the birth cert so fast? Usually it takes a couple of weeks after you give birth.

    • Marmaduke45 says:

      Typically, you can’t leave the facility with the infant without having completed the information for the birth certificate. It was my experience that the hospital sent a staff member to my room to complete the paperwork to file the birth with the state on my behalf. As for an actual copy of the certificate, those can only be requested in writing and can only be issued to someone with a legal right to it. That being said, it does take a couple of weeks or so for the paper certificate to get issued to the new parents. However, that doesn’t mean that the record of its filing isn’t online, and the name of the baby and the parents is right there for anyone to see. Of course, maybe TMZ or whomever, has someone in the county clerk’s office on the payroll….

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Yeah, it took us about 3 days to decide on Baby Boy’s name, and they were RELENTLESS about “visiting” our room for the info.

        They submitted everything, and his Birth Certificate arrived in the mail shortly thereafter.

  60. Green Eyes says:

    Why not name your kid a compass direction? Wouldn’t have expected anything less from the same guy that is mocking Parkinson’s Disease on his new CD. I just hope lil North doesn’t grow up to be as narcissistic as her parents.

  61. fabgrrl says:

    Geh! Why? They could have given her the perfectly nice name ‘Norah West’, and then “North” would be a clever, adorable nickname.

  62. tiki says:

    are they going with bynorth for the middle name?

  63. JL says:

    Nori I don’t mind. When you hear the likes of Doody, Skeeter, Cooter, Bubbie and Sissy etc it’s just not that big of a deal.

    The fact that it’s not a “K” name sends a statement to momager Kris and all the Kardasian clan.

    You know, they could nave named her Pickle and I’d have been thrilled just because Kanye, in essence, just told Kris Jenner to go pound sand.

    • Jayna says:

      Neither of Kourtney’s children have a K name, but I thought with Kanye’s name starting with a K, maybe they would. Plus, Kim is Mommager’s favorite child, so I thought might have more influence over her.

    • swack says:

      Khourtney didn’t name her children with names that began with K. So I don’t think this is sending a message to Kris. Think it is their way of getting more attention. As a retired teacher I can tell you naming your child something different can cause problems. I had a boy named “Alois” and asked how to pronounce it and he said “Al” and I thought “Okay, not a problem” Also had a student named “Antijuan” and thought “Did his parents have something against Juan?” Also had identical twins named Therese and Therese H. at my school. I don’t get it. Told my ex we were not going to name our children anything that they were going to have to explain to anyone.

      • littlestar says:

        Wow, I can’t believe there are parents out there who would give their twins the SAME FREAKING NAME!

      • swack says:

        littlestar – and they were truly identical twins. Couldn’t tell them apart. They had the same hairstyle, makeup, clothes etc.

      • NorthernGirl_20 says:

        I taught 2 brothers named Mister (yes Mister) and Ember. Also had an ex roomate who is an identical twin and they were Lynn and Lynda. And one girl in my son’s class was Alexzandra..

      • DoloresChurch says:

        My friend teaches Spanish at a local high school. One of her student’s name was Sirdenzel. When she assumed a shortening of Denzel, he corrected her and said No, I go by Sirdenzel.

      • Janet says:

        @littlestar: I know of a guy named Kenneth who is so stuck on himself he named his three sons Kenneth 1, Kenneth 2 and Kenneth 3.

    Its all a set up to merchandising the North by North West line of baby clothes.

  67. NeNe says:

    I feel sorry for their child. First off, that name is just horrible. Next, her mother is famous for making a sex tape, and for being a famewh*re, and her father is a man with a g-d complex….. Poor child…. doomed from the start.

    • Sandy says:

      Right, NeNe. She is a slut getting her start from a sextape and he is so arrogant it’s unbelievable. In his new album he’s comparing himself to Jesus Christ, Really Kanye?

      • NeNe says:

        Yeah, WTF!!! I really used to like Kanye when he first came on the scene, but now he has a swollen head, and thinks he’s hot sh*t.

  68. Chell says:

    I don’t even know why I am shocked by this, they are so ignorant! Like this poor baby girl doesn’t have it bad enough with these two for parents they have to give her such a stupid name?!?! Morons!

    Well…. nothing left to say? Cute? I like Nori.

  70. JL says:

    Damn, they should have named her….

    True North West

    True would be a cool as hell name, then she could hang with Blue…..

    • littlestar says:

      O Canada!
      Our home and native land
      True patriot love in all thy sons command.
      With glowing hearts we see thee rise

      From far and wide, O Canada
      We stand on guard for thee.

    • pao la says:

      And her god mother should be the True Blue diva aka Madonna!

  71. Marmaduke45 says:

    Wait. If this baby was 3 weeks or 5 weeks early, why is being discharged from the hospital after less than a week? Wouldn’t she be in NICU so that her lungs can finish developing? Or maybe she was full term…

    Way to go on that name. These two make me feel unreasonably hostile.

    • swack says:

      Not necessarily. The lungs could well be developed at 3 or 5 weeks early. Just depends. There are babies that are 40 weeks and end up in the NICU for various reasons.

    • Poppy says:

      They might have given Kim steriods to mature the baby’s lungs, or she might just not have had a problem.

      3 weeks early is 37 weeks, which is technically full term anyway. 35 weeks is generally small but not too problematic.

    • littlestar says:

      She was born on June 15? And her SUPPOSED due date was July 12? I don’t know why the media keeps saying she was five weeks early. She wasn’t! Why can’t the media just call Kim out on her lies already?

  72. TG says:

    Does she know how predictable she is? We all knew her wedding would be over the top and tacky and we all knew her baby name would be dumb. There isn’t anything to say accept Kim and PMK oh yeah and Kanye are DUMB.

  73. TG says:

    Oh yes and if she called it Knorth that would sound like the name if a panda Knut. Dumb idiots.

  74. lisa2 says:

    I saw that they have been released from the hospital. I’ll wait because I’m sure there will be a new thread on it.

  75. randand00 says:

    As a recruiter, I’ve seen it all. Very hard to keep a straight face while interviewing some of these folks (plus, I tend to giggle when I’m nervous anyway), but I had a candidate once named Tequila Massengill. I almost died. Yes, these poor people with parents who give them shit names, have to deal with it for the rest of their lives! So sad. North West. Damn.

  76. Nev says:

    I like Nori.

  77. Anastasia says:

    The fact that they immediately nicknamed her tells me even they know what a joke the name North is.

    I’ll never understand giving a name then immediately calling them something that doesn’t even derive from the name. Why not just name her Nori if that’s what they really wanted?

    Sounds like one parent wanted North and the other didn’t and Nori (seaweed) was the stupid compromise name.

    But as several people said above, her name is going to be the least of this child’s problems, sadly.

    • ShaCur says:

      Yes, totally agree! Its like they knew how awful it was to give their child a name like that, but love the novelty of it at the same time. Oh well, I think we all knew it was never going to the about the child. Still thinking a real live human baby is nothing more than a novel toy. Sigh.

    • Jayna says:

      Yeah. That fits. Kanye wants the name, a directional name, and she finally caves as long as she can announce immediately that Nori is what she will be called.

  78. JL says:

    I was just thinking;

    The ugliest names I know today are Paula Dean and Serena Williams …

    It’s not the name, skin color or socioeconomic status that’s important.

  79. Shelly says:

    I think North West is kind of dumb, but I do really like Nori.

  80. Mayday says:

    I kinda like the name Nori!

    • Janet says:

      It means seaweed in Japanese.

      I knew a woman who wanted to name her baby girl Berenjena because she thought the name sounded lovely in Spanish. She changed her mind when I told her it means eggplant.

  81. chria says:

    North is an utterly ridiculous name! I certainly feel for her she’s prone to be bullied all for her stupid parents decision to call her this.

    another dumb name story…my friends narcissistic boss and his clueless fiance just names their daughter “ophelia wish” can you say destined stripper?

  82. Jessiebes says:

    One of my favourite book personalities is called Tuesday Next.

    What is in a name?

      Flove this series!!

      North “Nori” West. Pfft! I bet she’s a beautiful baby though.

  83. Cali says:

    I don’t buy it. That’s just what they put in the birth certificate. They’ll do a bunch if publicity to announce her “real” name in a few weeks. Either to help the reality show or kris jenners talk show. Keeping Up’s viewers are falling every episode. I firmly believe they’ll squeeze every ounce of press that they can.

    • Jayna says:

      I wouldn’t be surprised. Then Kaidence makes a comeback and seems fresh instead of everyone knowing.

    • jess says:

      Pretty sure the birth certificate is where one puts the baby’s *real* name…

  84. Madpoe says:

    as i sit an ponder this name:
    Northwest Airlines …Northwest Bank..
    Northwest Federal credit union…

  85. booboobird says:

    well, Nori can hang out with Suri now.

  86. Dawn says:

    Gawd can I just say that these two are a pair of emotionally stunted idiots. So Kimmode gave into the more powerful personality that is Kanye just like she usually does to her mother. How sad to saddle this kid with a direction for her name. Nori is cute but come on, then just call her Nori. More and more I cannot stand this duo and don’t see how they can possibly last with their personality defects, one is a sociopath that loves money and fame and the other is a high level narcissist. I find it so crazy that the media loves them so much rather than shun them as they should be. Sick.

    • littlestar says:

      +1 to everything you said. I’m beginning to think that there are very few people out there who actually like the Kardashians. It’s us haters who are feeding the frenzy and keeping them going :(.

  87. pnichols says:

    Just name her Pete Moss and be done with it……….ba dum bum. They are morons.

  88. noor says:

    hello I read the blog for a while I commented out the first time, I am French, is what they have named their daughter north west and I do not understand the translation? thank you

    • MonicaQ says:

      No you are correct. “North” as in the Cardinal Direction and “West” also as in the Cardinal Direction and Kanye’s last name. It is quite…awkward to say the least.

    • NorthernGirl_20 says:

      Oui, son nom est Nord Ouest.. Terrible non?

  89. michiem says:

    to me, this means Kanye won. This is totally a Kanye move. He already gave his child her hip-hop name.

    While he is a douche, I like the thought of Kim following his lead instead of listening to her mom. I think she can rehab her image if she cuts her ties with her mom and acts like a real partner to Kanye. We shall see.

    Oh and this “un-disclosed” location business. I think that they had originally planned to be at PMK’s house and Ye nixed that shit.

    • pk says:

      It just shows that Kim is desperate and will do anything to keep Kanye including naming her baby North.

    Oh and good luck trying to trademark North West. They won’t be able to like Blue Ivy was.

  91. Wendy says:

    Oh this poor poor child. North. NORTH!! A cardinal direction. That sounds so harsh for a little girl, so loveless. I was concerned they’d name her Wild, but North is even worse.

  92. Jayna says:

    North and Blue can have playdates in a few years, and Apple can babysit them. LOL

    • Nina W says:

      At least people refer to children as the “apple” of their eye, no one says the “north” of my heart or the “blue” of my love.

  93. Jane says:

    That poor child is going to be harassed for a number of years with that name. Kanye and Kim…are you prepared to defend her when she is bullied in school for that stupid mistake of yours?

  94. littlestar says:

    Do these people realize that their child is a PERSON and not some gimmick / way to grab attention? Who am I kidding? It’s the two biggest narcissistic fame wh*res ever.

  95. Carebearvancouver says:

    Just for fun everyone on celibitchy should call their son, daughter , pet or stuffed animal north for an entire day…. And really imagine using that name over and over like you do with children… That poor nanny….north pick up your toys… North are you hungry? noth put that down…. F$&@ thes people are stupid. But seriously if Kanye couldn’t rap or sing he would be parking my car and Kim would be asking in what size would i like to try that on. My dog is wondering who north is lol!

  96. Shauna says:

    So Kim’s vagina is now the North West passage?

  97. Sandy says:

    Moxie Crimefighter,Banjo,Maxwell( for a girl) Blue Ivy, Pilot Inspector, Apple, Sparrow, Birdie, Sunday, and now North could it get any worse. Do celebrities think it’s cute or funny to give their poor children these names. Luckily they won’t have to apply for a job

  98. Dedrie says:

    The meaning of the name Nori is Belief precept doctorine

    The origin of the name Nori is Japanese

    Kaida, Nora, Sakura, Nala, Naomi, Yumi, Suki

    [ 2 syll. no-ri, nor-i ] The baby girl name Nori is pronounced as Now-Riy- †. Nori is mainly used in the Japanese language and its language of origin is also Japanese.

    Nori is not regularly used as a baby name for girls

    • Ok says:

      Desire — thanks for the information

      But note the name these morons gave her is North.

      Nori will be the nickname. Along with north south east west, Nanook, Wicked Witch of the North, North to Alaska, North by NorthWest, GPS, Cold Wind Blows, Migrate North, Northwestern University , and any other crap to make fun of her.

      But it is ok because Northie can cry into a bag of mommy and daddy’s money to feel better

  99. Ok says:

    They can call hot Nanook. Nanook of the North West.

    Morons who breed.

  100. Nina says:

    But Nori is a longer name…wouldn’t North be short for Nori, then?

  101. ErinINPitt says:

    What a pair of self-serving famewhores. Imagine giving birth for the first time…and the only thing concerning you is how much publicity you can get out of it. Poor kid is screwed from the get-go.

  102. Melissa says:

    Of course they did.

    Yeezus and Kimmy needed to ensure their childs name was as unique (if not more) as Blue Ivy Carter. Ima let you finish Jay, but North West is the best weirdest celebrity baby name ever!!! Idiots.

  103. lucy2 says:

    Oh that poor kid.

    Part of me is wondering if this is either a joke or a false report – sent out by Pimp Mama of course. Because then they could “correct” it and get 2 news cycles out of it instead of just 1.

    If it’s not a joke, I feel so bad for this little girl, on so many levels.

  104. Meggin says:

    Middle school is going to be a blast for North West…. sarcasm, of course. I’m sure their kid will be adorable (they are both good looking people) but omg, that name!! Augh.

  105. Mulle says:

    “What is your name kid?“
    “North!“

  106. This Chick says:

    I don’t get it. Here we have a bunch of adults mocking the name of a newborn…

    I have a plain Jane first name, but a very odd (not hard to pronounce, just odd) last name. Every time I met an adult, from as early as I can remember till just last week, I get asked if teased as a child.

    I never was… Not unless you count all the adults doing what I think of as passive teasing. (For the record, this still happens to me as an adult, but only with adults my parents age or older. Never from a peer.)

    • Nina W says:

      Nobody is mocking the newborn, we’re mocking her moronic parents who think it isn’t abuse to saddle that poor girl with a joke for a name.

  107. EscapedConvent says:

    How self-indulgent & oblivious can two people be? Giving your child a joke of a name is so…..

    I can’t even think of the best negative word to use. We didn’t really need any more proof that these two idiots don’t have a brain in their heads, but here’s proof anyway.

    (Maybe they named their baby after Nori, one of the dwarves in The Hobbit? So there will have to be two siblings for Nori: Ori & Dori.)

    Yeah, probably not.

  108. drdoolittling says:

    Everyone was posting this everywhere yesterday. I thought Kimye was just f*^king with us and was just trying to get a couple of laughs with a fake leak. I cannot wrap my head around this name.

    • Dana M says:

      Kim was probably still high on drugs due to the pitocin and epidural when she agreed and confirmed the name!

  109. drdoolittling says:

    Oh, and it should be Knorth with a silent “K”. Then the name will really be complete

  110. Asiyah says:

    Let me spin this to a positive:

    Nori comes from “nour”, which is Arabic for light, and “nouri” means my light in Arabic. Let me just pretend that’s what Nori stands for, for her sake!

    • Nina W says:

      I’m general people of Armenian descent are not big on picking Arabic names for their children.

    • Dawn says:

      I get what you’re saying and it’s nice of you. But Armenia is an Eastern European country and this kid is only 1/4 Armenian and then Scottish and Irish and I don’t where Kanye’s people originated. Besides I doubt either one of them would take the time to stretch it out like this. Kanye went for controversy so he can have a big old rant at his next concert and act like a child. And Kimmode went along with it because she really doesn’t care that much and doesn’t want to fight with Kanye. And North will have to live with it until she is old enough to change it if she wants. End of story, selfishness wins again.

  111. Meghna says:

    So sad. GOD help that child.

  112. jen says:

    Horrible name. Really bad. I bet it was Kanye’s idea. And deep down she probably wasnt into it, but of course kisses his egotistic ass. And when they break up in five minutes she will regret it. Hahahahaha

    This is totally putting ego first over the well-being of a child. Ugh. I can’t stand these people.

    I like the way kimmie-boo made sure we all knew the baby has small nose, her lips and straight hair,what does that say?She spent a week in the hospital to recover from allthe plastic surgery,tummy tuck(huge) lipo and what ever else they could do.Can they push those hips in a foot?

  115. anon says:

      • bettyrose says:

        Well played! 🙂

      • LAK says:

        To be fair, Rebecca is a classic latin form of the Hebrew name Rebekah, a character found in the bible, mother of Jacob and Esau.

        Hitchcock REBECCA film is an adaptation of a fantastic Daphne du Maurier book.

        either way, it’s an awesome name.

  118. jess says:

    “Kim’s real due date was July 12 — Kanye’s mom’s birthday. That warmed his heart.” Bulls—t! People Mag said in their cover story that Kim was only three weeks early, but Us Weekly is sticking with the “five weeks early” story.”

    Umm…July 12 is not 5 weeks away. I’m due July 11th and when she gave birth I was only 2 1/2 weeks away from my due date.

    I’d take North over Kaidence any day, tbh. You can’t mispronounce North, because it’s fairly ubiquitous, has relatively positive connotations (North Star), and short.

    I grew up with a special name that was misspelt, misspronounced, etc. Lest we forget, for a long time instead of Kanye West, people would call him Kane West or something. Yeah, North and Nori as her nickname? Bb West will be all right.

    Laineygossip be arguing over the name as if the baby were their own. LOL.

    what happend to my post?

  121. Janet says:

    Oh well, I guess it beats Easton.

  122. Viv says:

    Mark my words: when Kanye gets tired of Kimmode she will have another little one – Nori will have a little brother called South West.
    I dread the thought, but I kinda think it will happen.

    • Nina W says:

      No way, Kim will never go thru that again. She did not enjoy pregnancy, it was a one off, for sure.

  123. LaurieH says:

    I thought for sure this was a joke. In fact, until I hear confirmation from Kim and/or Kanye, I will continue to think it’s a joke. In fact, I won’t even believe it if I hear it from them. It would be just like Kim and Kanye and their over-inflated sense of selves to deliberately come up with a stupid name for the media and “regular people” to use, while keeping the baby’s real name a secret. So perhaps it truly is a joke (the joke being on us). “Nori” will just be the baby’s public name (like Kanye now wants to be Yeezy or Yezus or whatever the hell). Or, I could be wrong and Kim and Kanye are just incredibly uncreative morons.

    I have never understood why parents name their kids with these silly names (I am uncluding North West in this group)- eventually these kids will get teased about these names and eventually these kids will grow up and become adults – kids with these silly names will probably change them when they are adults but there is not much they can do as kids and have to endure the relentless teasing/jokes.

    Dont these parents understand this? Is it so much more important to be “unique” than it is for the child’s needs to have a sensible name?

    I simply dont understand these parents.

  125. Msmlnp says:

    Poor kid. That will be the only direction her parents give her in life.

  126. phaksi says:

    Poor baby. Konsequence Kouture would have been better

  127. Ryan says:

    Nori is long for North, damn idiots.

  128. Paloma says:

    I think whatshisface was trying to be the equal of Blue Ivy in the weird name department.

  129. Nan says:

    Poor kid, both parents seem to have borderline IQs.

  130. nikko says:

    I love the name. It’s very pretty. I don’t know why everyone is gettin on them so badly, all the celebrities name their kids weird names.

  131. truthful says:

    If Kim wants to keep Ye around, she knew she’d better go w/North..LOL

    I bet pimp/mommy mgr is pissed.

    she will NOT control YE.

  132. tabasco says:

    Nori West sounds like a strip mall sushi chain location.

  133. tabasco says:

    Maybe someone should buy her a compass. In case she needs I.D.

  134. skuddles says:

    So I take it she gave birth to a weather vane?

  135. DeltaJuliet says:

    My friend’s dog is named Nori sooo………

  136. jwoolman says:

    Like many people, my name on the hospital birth certificate was Baby Girl… That’s not how I sign my name! I don’t know why people are gasping so much about this. Maybe it will stick, maybe it won’t. Many parents don’t settle on a permanent name until quite a while later. Kim is dumb enough to go for it, since she’s still in the Barbie doll phase emotionally, not sure about Kanye. But her more practical sisters will be giving her an earful.

    I still think they should consider Mercy II Godhelpme or Ka-Ching! Vatikan City Kardashian West.

  137. little_blu says:

    ohh lawd, should have expected this ridiculousness

  138. Daisy says:

    They are both morons. Sheesh.

  139. moley says:

    They named it after a DWARF in the Hobbit. Is it gonna be short and hairy, just like mum then?

  140. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    And North West University tweeted this..

    .@KimKardashian & @KanyeWest, You’re Welcome Signed Northwest University #northwest— Northwest University (@northwestu) June 21, 2013

  141. fallen says:

    I don’t think its that bad, considering the celeb kids she’ll go to school with. I personally think Moxie Crimefighter is worse. LOL

  142. Jayna says:

    No middle name? You know that was all Kanye. He doesn’t want anything intersecting with North and West.

  143. Kim says:

    What else would we expect from these 2 self absorbed morons. They didnt think of the child and growing up how it would be made fun of for this terrible name. week 1 of the child life & already they are bad parents thinking only of themselves. Its not a cool name at all, its just stupid.

  144. idk says:

    It’s just a name, does it really matter? I see people on here complaining about how it’s not a “normal” name…well what is a “normal” name? Nori is cute…even North is not that bad. Besides, it’s not like this girl will live a “normal” life, she won’t need to send out resumes worrying about if her name sounds “professional” or not…just like Blue Ivy and the rest of them.

    • June says:

      It’s not normal to name your child after seaweed these 2 are attention seeking idiots LMFAO

      • idk says:

        I’m not sure they intended to name her after seaweed. Kim’s middle name is NOel and Kanye’s middle name is OmaRI…mix and you get NORI.

  145. paranormalgirl says:

    I just figured that they put that on the birth certificate to throw off the press and that the “real” name would be unveiled in some spectacular fashion and the birth certificate would be changed. My birth certificate initially had my name as Maire Elizabeth Gallagher and my parents changed it when I was about 10 weeks old to Brenna. They died shortly after that.

    • gogoGorilla says:

      Sorry about the parents. ((Hugs))

      I actually wonder if this isn’t a bunch of brilliant moves on Kanye’s part to totally undermine PMK and make it clear to her that she won’t be kashing in on his kid,

      If so, we’ll played, Ye!

  146. abbizmal says:

    This is a joke, right? If not, that is child cruelty because that child will be teased mercilessly forever. All that Botulism went to Kim’s brain. This child will rebel in a big way when she gets older. Stupidest thing I’ve heard in a long time. Maybe Kim will let her change her name after Kanye gets caught cheating.

  147. Amelia says:

    I grew up knowing a Rocky Trail, a Dusty Rhodes, and a black gal named Violet Green.
    But North West is the worst ever.

  148. DeepFriedLies says:

    They should of named her Wild Wild…at least she would of had a middle name.

  149. oivey says:

    Not an infant…simply an extension of their egos. And it’s not like they were working with the last name “Smith” or “Jones”. What was wrong with a normal name and not directions on a map?? Poor kid.

  150. Christy says:

    I can’t help but thing that Nori is some sort of (sushi) wrapper/”rapper” joke. Which is terrible, and so, SO up their alley.

  151. Lady D says:

    Maybe they put out a false name to give them time to buy up all the domain names involving their daughter. I think it was the Jolie/Pitt’s that did that with Shiloh’s name. If I remember rightly, they covered all spellings and combinations of their daughter’s name, although the K/W could have done that beforehand.
    OT: How much do you think PMK is willing to pay to have baby girl West on her show?

  152. greentiger says:

    Our family named our puppy Nori, because all of our animals are named after food. Nori is the seaweed wrap for sushi. Our pup is all black and we thought it was a cute name.

  153. Paloma says:

    Maybe she can be friends with Apple Martin.

  154. jilly says:

    I suppose anything is better than Apple. And ‘South’ would have had too many dirty implications. But North seems too masculine for a girl’s name IMO.

  155. Waif says:

    how tall is kayne west, 5’3″? i love when i’m taller than douchebag men 🙂

  156. Marianne says:

    I think North is a fine name for a boy. Sounds horrible on a girl especially with West. How cheesy can you get?!?

    • rudy says:

      First thought when I heard the news. That’s a boys name. Maybe South West for a girl.

  157. VioletCrumble says:

    So is this guy in it for the long haul NOW?
    Discuss.

  158. missiecoco says:

    just when you think these people cannot get anymore utterly ridiculous.

  159. Mia says:

    These people are narcissistic and they’re idiots. Everyone knows this. It’s all about Kim and Kanye. It’s not surprising that all they could think about was how avant-garde and “cool” they believed “Kim and Kanye” would look for giving their kid a “clever” and unusual name, when in actuality they literally turned this child into a living, breathing punchline. The best joke I’ve heard about that name was about whether Kim gave birth to a baby or a compass, lol.
