|
Following the revelation that Kim and Kanye have named their baby girl North West, Twitter has been flooded with comical reactions from fans.
One female tweeter PamHutch said that she hoped the couple's baby becomes a fashion designer, so she could launch a diffusion line and call it 'North by North West'.
And another horrified commentator JoeGeorgee, said it was like Liam Payne from One Direction 'calling his kid Period'. Brookestirling suggested that she will get married at 16, 'purely for a last name that isn't a direction on the compass'.

Sources close to the couple confirmed the decision, which comes five days after Kim welcomed her first child at a hospital in Los Angeles.
The announcement ends the intense speculation over the child's name, with other rumoured options said to include Kaidence Donda, in honour of Kanye's late mother.
And a source told UsWeekly that the couple have already given their daughter a nickname - she will be 'Nori for short'.
Many have pointed out that this means 'belief' in Japanese. They added that the child has no middle name.
TMZ witnessed a signed birth certificate with the name North West signed by Kim, 32, and Kanye, 36, at Cedars-Sinai hospital.
People magazine confirmed the news with a source close to the Kardashian family.
The name North had previously been suggested as a possibility for the child.
However back in March, Kim denied rumours that Kanye wanted to name the baby North.

While North was to prove her final choice, Kim was said to be very keen on Kaidence, to match her family's fondness of the letter 'K'.
The reality star was reported to like the idea of calling the baby Kai for short.
And further report claimed the middle name would be Donda, in honour of Kanye's late mother, who died in 2007 due to complications from cosmetic surgery.
Meanwhile Kim's close friend Larsa Pippen recently revealed that she had been to visit the baby in the hospital and a decision was nearly made.
But she said Kim didn't welcome her suggestions.
