Kylie Jenner posted an adorable Instagram picture of her newborn daughter holding Kylie’s (perfectly manicured) finger, but the most exciting part was the caption, which read: “stormi ??”
Kris Jenner reposted the photo on both Twitter and Instagram, adding “Meet my precious granddaughter Stormi! I love you endlessly,” with a slew of pretty pink heart emojis.

Fans had previously theorized a variety of names for Kylie and Travis Scott’s new daughter, born February 1. Due to Kylie often wearing butterflies and even choosing to decorate her daughter’s room with them, many thought that the name would be some form of the word.
Calling it now Kylie’s baby will be called Mariposa (Spanish for butterfly) and her nickname will be Posie, like the lip kits she’s just brought out an anniversary edition of… pic.twitter.com/JAfx7DV3Zx

Kylie Jenner released a video to her baby. Video focused on Kylie’s butterfly necklace & butterflies on the wall of her baby’s room. Travis wrote a song called the Butterfly Effect. Travis & Kylie got matching butterfly tattoos. HER DAUGHTER’S NAME IS BUTTERFLY I FIGURED IT OUT

It was because of these innovative theories that when Kylie dropped the news today, some were a little disappointed.

Others still managed to intertwine what everyone previously thought with Kylie’s actual decision.
Theory… Kylie named her baby Stormi because of the butterfly effect… the beat of a butterfly’s wings can set off a storm miles away ?? ? #Stormi #KylieJenner

“Stormi” is short for Storm. A storm can be caused by a minute localized change in a complex system. That’s known as the butterfly effect. Butterfly in Spanish is Mariposa…
