Kim, Kanye name baby North West

MANILA, Philippines – As if to confirm the rumors, celebrity couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have indeed named the newest star in the Kardashian clan, North West, reports US Weekly.

North West, nicknamed Nori, is also expected to bear the Kardashian “K” as the first letter of her name.

TMZ reported that North West was the name written on the birth certificate signed by Kim and Kanye. The reality star gave birth to her baby girl at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills on June 15, a month before her due date. 

Rumors also went around that the baby would be named Kaidence Donda West, after Kanye’s mother, Dr. Donda West.

Netizens wasted no time tweeting their thoughts about the celebrity baby’s name. “North West” began trending minutes after the announcement was made.

So I'm assuming that North West won't be a One Direction fan?
