Since the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star first shared expecting another baby, the youngest West’s name has been the talk of the town with netizens expecting a directional moniker.
“Everyone keeps on saying South, and I think it’s so stupid,” she told NPR in June.
Kim later on revealed that Easton appealed to her but that her husband was not a fan of the name. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the host quipped with suggestions Head West, Wild Wild, Mid and Tito which the celebrity simply laughed off.
Two days after giving birth, she introduced their newborn as Saint West.

It was not an easy pregnancy for the 35-year-old mother as she has been earlier diagnosed with placenta accreta, a high-risk condition that occurs when blood vessels and other parts of the placenta embed deeply into the uterine wall.
“I’ve surrendered to the placenta issues and actually haven’t been thinking too deeply about them lately,” she previously wrote in her blog, adding that she was concerned, however, that the baby was in the wrong position for childbirth.
“My latest concern is that my baby is breech… His head is still up and it’s supposed to be down. He was supposed to turn by 32 weeks.”
Fortunately, Kim was able to give a normal and safe delivery.
