But it was not to be Kaidence (rather than Cadence) Donda after all. Sources close to the couple have reportedly confirmed that their five day old infant will instead bear the first name North making her full name North West.
The revelation ends intense speculation which started when a nurse at Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Hospital where the infant came into the world almost a month prematurely at the weekend first reported to the press that the child would be named for Kanye s late mother Donda.
A source told USWeekly that the couple have already given little North a nickname she will be Nori for short (even though the pet name is just one letter shy of her actual moniker).
Gossip site TMZ claims to have witnessed a birth certificate for North West signed by Kim 32 and Kanye 36. The child will not have a middle name.
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno earlier this year Kim joked she d like to call her child Easton Easton West .
Kim has previously said she d been keen to continue the K trend started by her family stars of reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians (Khloe Kourtney Kendall Kylie and Kris might well be gutted that she hasn't).
As news of North s name began trending on Twitter the jokes began pouring in. One wag suggested the newest reality star s autobiography might be called North by North West (after Hitchcock s 1959 thriller). While another joked that Kimye s daughter is going to have a hard time understanding GPS
GPS Turn North West
North West Yeah but which way do I turn '
Comedian David Schneider wrote Yes North West is a stupid name for Kim and Kanye's baby but it's still better than their second choice Fred.
The Independent's columnist Grace Dent suggested Kanye's baby's name is taken from his love of Carlisle which is non arguably 'the Manhattan of the North West'.
Meanwhile somewhere other famous offspring bearing creative names (Moon Unit Apple Blue Ivy and Fifi Trixibelle we mean you) are breathing a sigh of relief as the pressure is taken off.
On the basis of nominative determinism (the theory that a person's name can have an impact on determining the nature of their job) The Independent staff reckon young North may have a budding career as an astronomer or on astronaut ahead of her.
