North West and 50 More Unique Celebrity Baby Names
With the arrival of Kim and Kanye’s little girl, the world breathlessly waited for that special baby moniker that would announce her as part of the Kardashian dynasty. But, fans may have been surprised when the much anticipated name didn’t begin with “K”, a la Kris, Kylie, Kendall, Khloé, Kourtney, Kim and, don’t forget, Kanye, but instead it began with North and ended with West...that’s right, Kimye’s little bundle is named North West.
