Kim Kardashian, Kanye West name newborn son Saint West

One meme showed the baby emoji-the same one used by Kim in her announcement post- onto a painting of a saint, while one showed Kanye as Jesus cradling the baby emoji.

The couple referred to their son as a saint throughout the pregnancy, a source explained to Us Weekly.

We find it hard to believe that English royalty would phone an American reality star and her rapper husband to congratulate them on expanding their family.

Obviously, baby West’s name was always going to cause social media uproar (he was never going to be called James, was he?), but Saint West is basically a Tweeter’s dream…

“There’s not a whole lot I can do to prevent it, so my anxiety is a little high leading up to my delivery”, the reality TV star further said in the post.

The site further reported that a name beginning with “Saint” means something very particular: that the person in question has been canonized. Meanwhile, Kanye was just in New York City to accept an award for his footwear designs this week, but managed to make it back just in time to meet his first son. “There were a couple little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again”, Kardashian told C Magazine in her September 2015 cover story.

Earlier this year, everyone believed that Kim might name her son, Easton West after she revealed that she was in love with the name.

On 6 December, TMZ claimed that Kim’s birth was a long and painful one.

The 35-year old celebrity was diagnosed a few months ago with a condition called “placenta accreta”.

“I think it’s pretty wild”, a man said of the name Keurig West. “It has already become a household name for our coffee products but now being an actual child’s name, they can do whatever they want”, he said.
