If Kim Kardashian is famous for being famous, her baby daughter may soon be famous for having a crazy name. That name, reportedly, is North West.
Although a source earlier this week said that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby's name was Kaidence Donda West, TMZ reports that "North" is the name on the child's birth certificate at Cedars-Sinai.
As various media outlets have noted, Kardashian had talked about the prospect of turning her child's name into a cute jokey plaything-of-a-name with Jay Leno several months ago:
That is not true, [North is] not one of the names on our list. But you know what name I do like but it probably won’t be on is, I do like — ‘cause it kinda goes with North — I like Easton. Easton West. I think that’s cute.
Easton West? North West? Why not SXS West? (Kimye just missed out on a major endorsement deal.)
