North West and Other Clever (Crazy?!) Baby Names

There isn't a news outlet out there (Shine included!) that hasn't been chomping at the bit to find out the final name of Kim and Kanye's new baby girl. TMZ.com somehow magically got their hands on the official birth certificate first and reported that the new little lady's name is North West.

Clearly, North's parents were trying to come up with a witty, playful name that uses a fun riff on words. However, just when we were starting to feel kind of sorry for little North, we then remembered that there are tons of other parents out there who did the same to their children. After a quick search, we found these other names:

-Actor Rob Morrow has a daughter named Tu Morrow.

-Actor Jason Lee has a son named Pilot Inspektor.

-Singer Jermaine Jackson has a son named Jermajesty.


There are also those celebrity parents that chose to play with real-life objects (or numbers) instead of words:


-Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin (of Coldplay) named their daughter Apple.

-Michael Jackson's youngest son Prince Michael II is simply called Blanket.

-Singer Erykah Badu has a son with fellow singer Andre Benjamin named Seven.

-Tennis legend Arthur Ashe's daughter is named Camera.


We also can't forget that sometimes baby names start out with good intentions, but then parents realize that they made a serious initials fail and their kids have to go through life as PMS, KKK or (even worse) ASS.


"My son's initials are CDC," a woman wrote on Ask The Name Lady's blog in response to the news of baby KimYe's name. "I felt that a random linking to the Centers of Disease Control didn't warrant changing the name we chose for him. She might feel the same way."


Until more news is released from Kimye and the Kardashian Klan as to the meaning behind little North's name, we'll just have to go ahead and assume that perhaps her parents know best and she really does look like a North; which kind of makes no sense because how does someone look like a direction? But, we'll just hope that this case is different.
