Kim Kardashian West Reveals Newborn Daughter's Name Is Chicago — Celebs and Fans React!
Kim Kardashian West has revealed her newborn daughter’s name — and fans (including members of Hollywood) have their opinions about the infant’s unique moniker.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star used her app and website on Friday to share the name of her and Kanye West‘s baby girl: Chicago.
Twitter was quick to comment and/or congratulate the Kimoji creator, 37, on the name choice for the family’s newest addition, who was born via surrogate on Monday at 12:47 a.m., weighing 7 lbs., 6 oz.
Though Kardashian West didn’t explain the reasoning behind why she and her husband chose Chicago, West, notably, was raised in the Windy City.

While others weren’t quite as keen on it.
I’m really confused as to why Kim & Kanye named her “Chicago West” when Kanye is from the South Side of Chicago ????

I’m sorry but that’s a terrible name for a little girl

The name reveal comes days after West shared via her website Tuesday that the spouses’ daughter had made her debut.
“Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl,” Kardashian West — who also shares son Saint, 2, and daughter North, 4½, with West — wrote in a post titled “She’s Here!”
“We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care,” she added. “North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.”
