Over the past few days, the internet has been buzzing with possible names for the new Kardashian-West baby. South West? Easton West? Wild West? It turns out we were all wrong—the moment has come, and we’ve learned that Kim and Kanye have named their new little boy Saint West.
Real photo of the moment the conversation went down.
The more you think about it, the more it makes sense—Kim did say that they wouldn’t consider another cardinal direction (meaning South West and Easton West are up for grabs), and there were rumors that the couple was considering something along the lines of Saint or Legend (we’re glad they didn’t opt for the latter). Regardless, because the internet always knows best, just about everybody decided to weigh in with their thoughts.
There were those who thought it was totally reasonable:
I like the name Saint West.

i think saint west could easily be a designer line of clothing that was strictly faux fur coats and I want that to be my name

Gotta admit…. “Saint West” is probably one of the greatest baby names of all time!

I joked yesterday that the Wests might call their baby Jesus because Kanye thinks he’s god. Do I get a prize for being close? ‘Saint West’

Saint West, because Jesus West may have been just a little too self-important.

Many made an attempt at telling the future:
You are all going to look *pretty silly* in 2068 when Saint West gets on stage to collect his Nobel prizes for literature and medicine.

While I don’t love your name, I already love you. Saint West, son of Yeezus Christ.

I am so angry that Kim and Kanye named their son Saint West. I’m sorry, but there is no reason to NOT name him South.

Saint West: the name of choice for when you know your child will never have to attend a job interview in its life.

We’re shutting down. There’s no way we or anyone else will write a joke as perfect as Kanye naming his son Saint West. See ya!
