wtf?

A source close to the couple (Kanye West & Kim Kardashian) confirms to E! News that the girl's name is North West, with no middle name.

According to a source, "They will call her Nori for short!"

*Its from E!News, which her show is on.. so its a bit believable.. lol

I saw this same thing in a Fox News report and in an article from People, so I would say it's true. Morons. >:(

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

lmao i thought itd be knorth like they were reporting while she was pregnant cause of the khrist and east/easton names the commented on. ugh.. they are so weird!

[jeweledvixen.livejournal.com]

Ugh! North is bad enough, but Knorth would be 10x's worse. I heard Klementine and Kadence a couple of days ago. Either one of those would have been better than North. :/

[maddiec24.livejournal.com]

I thought Kaidence was bad when I heard it, but... seriously, this i a joke, right?

[behindgrey-eyes.livejournal.com]

They'll call her seaweed for short? XD Honestly I don't get when people come up with a nickname as soon as their kid is born. Nicknames are something that usually appear naturally, at least to me.

Now I really want to watch North, the film with baby Elijah Wood, and try to forget these idiots :p

[malsywals.livejournal.com]

this! It bugs me when people say what their child's nickname will be before they are born! Just as you say, it is something that appears naturally! People. Ugh.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

I was totally thinking the same thing! Seaweed. Haha!

[designingdreams.livejournal.com]

I'm so flipping pissed because we just had a daughter named Eleanor and *her* nickname is Nori.

And I'm aware it means seaweed. I still think its a cute nickname. But not for some idiots who think that 'North West' is a suitable name for a child.

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

The nn of Nori was the only thing I really loved. I like Nori much better on Eleanor though!! Nice pick mom!

[roseofjuly.livejournal.com]

Why would that make you pissed?

[designingdreams.livejournal.com]

Because I think 'North West' is a dumb name and I don't like it having the same nickname as my Eleanor, which I think is a beautiful name ;)

Not like they'll be in the same class at school or anything. Just annoying.

[redfield79.livejournal.com]

Yes and e! Also reported completely false information in the past. Lol

[redfield79.livejournal.com]

Ahhh its been confirmed confirmed! I was in denial!!! :(

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

I know E! has reported false information. But considering that's the channel the reality show her and her family dish out, I wasn't really doubting it. Especially since she did say in a TV interview (forgot which late night show), she was liked Easton and Kanye did want North. She did comment about those names, because the host asked about the rumored names that were going around, Khrist and Knorth, and I know there was another one but I forgot. So, yeah...

[redfield79.livejournal.com]

...yeah...read the comment i.posted after this.

[mommy.livejournal.com]

oh, hell no.

[brittmarie.livejournal.com]

Can we go back to calling her Kaidence Donda? Please? It's way more acceptable than North.

[virtue.livejournal.com]

ia.

[sarahmarie.livejournal.com]

Totally thought the same. Kaidence wasn't that bad. Neither was Klementine. Wish those ones were true!

[dustthouart.livejournal.com]

I'm choosing to believe until cold hard reality sets in that this is an attempt to freak us all out so much that when the real name is revealed (Kaidence or Klementine or whatever) everyone goes "well by comparison that's pretty good..."

[laminy.livejournal.com]

It's really made all the worse when you consider that Kourtney Kardashian named her children Mason and Penelope. Kimye are just nuts.

[roxtarrr.livejournal.com]

I did not like Kaidence, but this is just dumb.

It's one thing to joke about it like "heh, my last name is direction... we should name her a direction" but jfc, you don't actually do it!

[roxtarrr.livejournal.com]

Also, I just reread the part where it said "with no middle name" and it occurred to me that all things considered I find it very hard to believe that Kim (or Kris!) wouldn't insist on making sure she has Kardashian in her name.

Do Kourtney's kids?

[virtue.livejournal.com]

No, Kourtney's kids are just Disick.

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

But Mason's middle name is Dash derived from KarDASHian. She worked a little tribute of her name in there too.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

They don't officially, but Mason's middle name, Dash, is allegedly a tribute to the Kardashian surname.

[ladydreamfire.livejournal.com]

What the hell, why not just toss in a middle name of By

[charuby.livejournal.com]

I think I'd have actually preferred Klementine or Kadence...

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

This was my same thought! And for the record, I think both Klementine and Kaidence are terrible, awful, horrid names. "Nori" North West is just...WTF?


Although, to be fair, Kimye is kind of in a catch 22. If they had gone with a lovely name, people would have been pissed that they ruined a good name and made it super trendy and popular. So, in a way, this might be almost better? Maybe? I just remember that when whatever her sister's name is had Penelope people were moaning about Penelope being ruined forever...

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I was honestly expecting something a little more...pretentious and egotistical from the two of them. Like Kharisma HerMajesty, or something. North is rather tame for them, even if it's a dumb thing to saddle a kid with.

[vanish.livejournal.com]

It could be worse, I suppose.

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

I think Khrist definitely would have been worse! Wasn't there that rumor of Khrist Kutie Kardashian-West going around? Way worse.

[roseofjuly.livejournal.com]

You know, I actually don't think North is that bad of a girl's name. I've heard the name North used before; it's not completely out there. It's just in combination with West that makes it silly.

I will say, though, that I am really tired of celebrities using their babies' names to make a statement or get into the news.
