Kim Kardashian And Kanye’s Baby Named North After Fearing ‘KKK’ Interpretation

After Kimye's baby was welcomed to the world on June 15, there's been a lot of speculation about the baby's name. Kim Kardashian, 32, and Kanye West, 36, are proud parents of a precious baby girl whom they have named North West.

The Twitter universe exploded overnight after reports by TMZ and E! Online that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their baby girl North West. A birth certificate confirming the name was filed Friday in Los Angeles County.

The reality starlet considered using a 'K' name to keep with family tradition, but veered away from the consonant to avoid referencing the Ku Klux Klan. Kim Kardashian named her first daughter North partially to avoid referencing a white supremacist group.

During a family vacation in May, Kardashian spoke with her step-brother Brody Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian about her naming options, and revealed the logic behind her decision on an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

Her sisters Khloe, Kourntey, Kendall and Kylie all share the same letter, as does her mum Kris. With both Kim and Kanye starting their names with the letter K as well, it certainly seemed apt for the new addition to fall under the same theme.

Kardashian "kind of" wanted to name her child something that began with the letter K, in keeping with Kardashian-Jenner family tradition. But she worried.

"Our kid, if it's a K, then they'll call us the KKK," Kardashian said.

Kardashian settled on 'North,' breaking the family tradition of starting names with 'K.'

The reality star and her rapper boyfriend eventually settled on North West, a choice that her siblings were supportive of during the trip.

"It's pretty and cool," Kourtney said.

Kardashian has been keeping out of the public eye while she recovers from the June 15th birth of baby North. She plans to debut her post-pregnancy body on her mother Kris Jenner's talk show, "Kris.

What do YOU think of the name, North West? Do you think that's the real name of Kim and Kanye's baby? Or do you think that their baby's name will end up starting with a "K"?
