Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Just Revealed Their Daughter's Name
Despite rumors otherwise, we now know for sure that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West one-thousand percent did not name their daughter after Louis Vuitton. So what did they name her, you ask? After Kanye’s hometown: Chicago. Yes, the newest member of the Kardashian-West family is officially Chicago West. Kim revealed her daughter’s name on her app today, along with Chicago’s birthday (January 15, 2018), time of birth (12:47 A.M.), and birth weight (7 pounds, 6 ounces). She then followed that up with a tweet that seems to indicate Chicago will have a nickname: “North, Saint & Chi.”
“Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl,” Kim wrote on her website Monday to announce Chicago’s birth. “We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care. North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.”
Chicago has only been in the world a few days, but she’s already caused quite a stir. (She does share Kim and Kanye’s genes, after all.) After Kim posted the Louis Vuitton symbols on Instagram earlier this week, many fans speculated that the child was named after the fashion brand. But that’s relatively harmless compared to the theories that have been floating around that Kylie Jenner, who is reportedly pregnant, was Kim’s surrogate or gestational carrier. Kim dismissed those rumors, though, in a blog post yesterday about her choice to use a gestational carrier through an agency.
“It’s not for everyone, but I absolutely love my gestational carrier and this was the best experience I’ve ever had,” she wrote. “The connection with our baby came instantly and it’s as if she was with us the whole time.”
