Newest Oldest Best rated Worst ratedPoor baby with two dimwits as parents she won't have a chance. This little phony relationship will be on the rope within a couple of years then we'll be reading about the custody/visitation battles. A really stupid name. Why didn't they just name her nori to begin with.....really really asinine.

I think it was all Kanye's idea and Kim didn't really want to choose this name. He just gives off this controlling attitude

Hideous people who are more wrapped up in giving their child a ridiculous name. you can just imagine them sitting there with their half a cell each saying hey how about North West and them chuckling with delight at their creativity. I don't follow either but that ridiculous name dragged me in to post.
