Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have decided on the perfect name for their 3rd child — Chicago West. Chicago was born on Jan. 15 at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. Kim revealed the baby’s name on Twitter.com on Friday.
The couple celebrated the arrival of their 3rd child via a surrogate, who was paid just $68,000 for her services. She claims the couple turned down a $5 million offer for the rights to the newborn’s pictures.
Kim, 37, took time out of her mommy duties to remind her young IG followers of the difference between a surrogate and a “gestational carrier”, which is a woman who carries another woman’s fertilized egg to term. Most of us know that a surrogate is an umbrella term to mean any substitute parent who carries a fertilized egg.

Nooooo. Not Chicago West. I don’t like that name but it’s not my kid.
68k. To bring the life of your child into the world. And this whore spends how much on clothes and shoes??? The surrogate is a fool!
bwahahahahahahaha…I love it, they are going to call her Chy…like black Chyna
Chicago West is not that bad. Like I said few posts down we been having kids named after locales. Paris, London, Italy/Italia etc. Lil Chitown West and Alabama Barker can go have a seat somewhere and join the other crazy locale named celeb kids. Maybe Bronx Wentz is available to sit with them
Gestational Carrier? LAWD
Puma, Seven, Apple, Blue, Saint, North. Foolishness.
That bad…Michael Jackson bad. They should’ve named Saint, Chicago and named Chicago, Saint. Chicago seems more of a boy’s name than a girl’s name…I don’t like it.
North, Saint, Finn, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Green Eggs & Ham… Bye. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/465b8da5eb86a89c1642a2d48b27f55705c7c7c1ad5a21e507d06d51e71e0eed.jpg

As a retired associate professor of writing at a historically black university, I have seen such chillen’s names as Lavoris, Quo Vadis, Femalay, Zanzabar, Issus, and Isus etc. etc.so Chicago West has a pleasant ghetto ring to it…
I’m not familiar with Cali surrogate laws, but I wonder what would have happened if the surrogate kept the baby and got child support from Kanye for the next 20-some years. #PlotTwist
My expression exactly!!!
Me too but I guess they are thinking because it has a “Sh” or “Shy” (depending on your pronounce) sound, it could work for a girl.
Lmao. I agree. There are much worse names out here and Chicago is ghetto in a good way. I didnt know Kanye still had it in him.
Does nobody remember Chicago in Poetic Justice?!!!!

They will probably call her Chi
Black people shouldn’t have european names.
It’s not that bad
Lol this just took my life *tears*
You know what I actually like the name Puma
I know I shouldn’t bite but the origin of our “ghetto” names had great meaning. I shall digress.
Kim just let’s Kanye do whatever the f he wants to do, no matter how it will affect their kids. I love Chi as much as the next person, but…I just can’t even with them today. smh
Yes, Chicago — with that hair brush glued to his fingers.
It could of have happened but the surrogate sold her soul to the devils! You see how Kim didn’t even invite the poor woman to the baby shower, saying North wouldn’t understand! Ish Please if North can scream at grown folks about “no pictures” she can understand about the surrogate, she’s not the typical 4 year old.
Out of all the days of the week, months and seasons of the year and they go with Chicago??? Ugh whateva the whole Kardashian train is losing steam anyway. The only people obsessed with them are yt people and yall know they late on everything culture wise. Nobody is checking for that coven especially since Cardi done came around….
Sooo Kodak Black was arrested because he uploaded video of his “Pot Party” to IG. The way these goofy azz ninjas are set up, snitches are going to be out of work. How damn dumb can you be?
Ha! Kim’s out here trying to educate folks. ??
You’d be surprised how many black women are die hard fans of the Kardashians.
Yes, I have a co-worker that swears they can do no wrong.
? Snooze city … You already tried the wild names for attention …. Snooze city … And folks still don’t care
These ghetto names didn’t come about until the 80s and they have no meaning. Please explain.
Kim and Kanye are both millionaires. That surrogate should have asked for at least $150-200K
At least. That’s a shame. To tax her body like that for nine months and give birth, which is putting the body on the brink of death. That’s why childbirth is still the leading cause of death in a lot of third world countries. Most importantly, you can’t put a price tag on someone bringing your child into he world. I bet she was black.
I already told Sandra if I was having a girl I’m naming her John Rose ? so there…
I’m not speaking of the aliza, Moet, and strawberries of the world. I’m speaking of the history of our names. To get you started on your research you can look up names ending in quisha, qua etc. The origin of how we got European names etc.
What happened to Chicken Pox West, shit…
I say at least a million point five to two million.
Scotland … I really loved that Kourtney names her daughter that
Whoa! Lol good catch! I didn’t even notice that
If they spelled it Shikageaux I might dig it
So they used the surrogates egg or some other hoe’s?
She just wants to tell her grandkids one day she birthed a child for these two fools. The look on their face is going to be priceless!
Where? Cause everywhere I go if they are mentioned there is a collective eye roll from the sistas. If any black woman is checking for them then they must have a void between their ears and a black hole between their legs…
Me too!
These kids better have tough skin because they’re going to be picked on in school.
Why do people continue to shit on their kids with these fucked up ass names?
This is a perfect example of two adults who need to make a follow-up appointment with their psychiatric doctors. So they apparently said kids be damned because it’s all about me and you and how we desperately need attention and validation.
I’ll bet the day they came up with that simple minded stupid ass name they asked each other if they wanted to skip their psyche medications that day and both of them said hell yeah, eff that damned medication. Besides, I don’t like it when those voices in my head get calm and peaceful and go away and stop talking to me when I’m on those medications. Eff that. Let’s go eff up our kids lives some more. SMDH.
Even game shows are making fun of them. I was playing family feud online the other day and the question was to name something or someone that people mock for fun. Buzz: answer: Kardashians.
Narcissism
what school? Those kids only to activities: gymnastics, dance, ice skating—they’ll be fine. Her only classmates will be named North & Saint. LOL
Now you know what ???? you ain’t lying….
If this news article is true, yes she was black.
http://metro.co.uk/2017/09/30/kim-kardashian-and-kanye-wests-surrogate-spotted-for-the-first-time-since-pregnancy-announcement-6967725/
I don’t like the name….
Not the worst name in the world for a celebrity child.
When she grows up, maybe Chicago West would be unusual and even a bit of a hindrance the regular business world that most of us work in. But she probably wont be looking for a regular 9-5 job one day, so that probably wont be an issue for her. If she’s get involved in the arts (music, acting, etc) having a “strange”/unique name Chicago West wont be much of a hindrance at all.
She’s a fool. I know surrogacy has rates, and maybe she’s from an agency, but they still paid her a bargain basement price. They lowballed her seriously. They could have and should have paid her a million, bare minimum.
And gave her body up for a year plus recovery time with non maternity leave.
They are icons in the black community more than for whites. One major reason is how obsessed black men are with them and how much we despise yet are intrigued by that as black women (admit it or not).
Can that helfa not walk or something ?
?????
I don’t care what Raggedy Ann Kim Koven and her overly medicated victim Kanye name any of their brood.
I like Seven and Puma.
That wig…
NOPE
They’re dumb and she looks stiff and face looks plethery.
NO
Awww, Congratulashayla…..XD
Btw, we all know how surrogacy works Kimberly. We learned in HS biology, you learned yesterday…
? i knew it was gonna b something ridiculous ? i jus wana see her???
I just realized it’s a pet peeve of mine when people wear zip up hoodies zipped all the way up. It looks silly. Oh and when women who can’t walk in heels wear heels, looks equally silly.
..but I damn near like everything Erykah does.
Kim is clearly a robot to let that man name that baby this foolish a&& name. Ugh.
Bleh…in other news Moniqué is alienating herself even further from getting paid…making an enemy out of Netflix..
Of all the names that go with West: New, Slow, Raw, Low, Few, Wild, and the obvious, South, and they come up with Chicago? Hmm. Like her boots, tho…
Kim look dusty…. Just no!
She is stupid, he’s dumb, the end. Those kids are Kid 1, Kid 2, and Kid 3 or K-1 K-2 and K-3. I refuse to type those names. And some one tell this dumb broad no one will call that kid Chi, pronounced Chai or Shaa-eee. Dumbasses.
Is the appointment at Saint West North Chicago General?
It’s….just ridiculous. She really came out the gate acting like she’s been killing the box office the last seven summers. I was like “huh?! Is she serious?!”
She does not bathe for some reason. Just prefers to go around looking dusty, smelling funky and acting like an imbecile.
LOL. Yup.
I love puma
Thank u!
They Time up both of them now blacks ain’t fawking with Kanye
The Kardashian’s are good at getting black men who ain’t in good spirits. Lamar, Kanye, this Tristan dude they all was fawked up In the inside.
That’s nothing she got played however I heard they ain’t got as much money as u think
I posted the other day that I felt like Kanye needed to get himself together before having another kid. I mean he just had a breakdown last year. Somebody replied to me that he got himself together. I don’t think so
I didn’t know Kanye still has it in him! Love that. I kinda felt the same way when I first read about the name.
LOL. Your post made me think of this wypipo movie that comes on LMN sometimes called sister cities. All the sisters are named after cities. Mother was a loosey-goosey hippie type. Good movie actually.
Dumb asses
Sometimes I think these two do stuff like this just for shock value. Kanye too doped up to know better, but I’m sure it’s because Kanye is from Chicago. I remember in a rap once Jay-Z said if he had a daughter he’d name her Brooklyn, which is actually a normal name. (The rap song was called Hello Brooklyn) I think Kanye said, ‘metoo.’ And decided to name his kid after his city. Would have been nice if he named the child after his mother. Just a thought.
Well, I like the name ????? Definitely, DEFINITELY unique LOL.
Yikes, that surrogate played the hell out of herself. $68k to carry Kim and Kanye’s baby when there’s heux out here selling they uterus for no less than $100k a pop? Or more? ? Whatever. Guess they got a discount.
Hahahaha omg. Wow. You did not????That poor child. Why?
These people should be investigated. They are clearly dillusional. Shame on them a new baby named after such a riotous City. Did the names China West or London West or Paris West not cross their minds. Fuck Kanye and Kim sleazy asses.
Right. Should have just named it Illuminati West.
$68k to cause trauma to your body and potential death from child birth? Shid, she was definitely bamboozled. I need at least a mil to eff up my body!
Did she even have an attorney before signing this contract?
I agree she talks to much. Some things she should keep to herself, she was on the talk radio show I listen to in the morning and all she did was complain about them not wanting to pay her as much as they gave Amy Shumer. Shut up!
I always thought my name was ghetto bougie (Shiffon) but I’m cool with it now, seeing all the stupid names other folks have its not to bad??????
Gurrrlll! What you tawgin’ bout? In the words of one of that triflin’ aš? Future… “Ain’t no way, ain’t no fü?king way”.
Lol I love Future! ?
Your name is so pretty and original
I love your name and the spelling!
I don’t consider it ghetto.
I think her name is cute and Chi sounds adorable. My name is unique as well so I know the struggle.
Try to pronounce Guyna. Not guy-na or Gina or the most popular…Guyana. But Gheenah lol like the French pronunciation of Guy or the how the first two letters in the world guitar sound. So Gui-nah or just Gui for short.
They had a news story… the surrogates typically get $40k. There are other costs eg. medical that the person whose child is being carried pays for.
That seems very low for the pregnancy taking over your life 24 x7 for 9+ months.
Mental illness places people into very fragile states.
There are meds to help… but there is ongoing therapy.
That all takes time.
I like your name… the spelling throws people.
I bet that once you pronounce it… all is well.
I guess it’s an ok name.
*** shrugs ***
Thank you. I’ve been through some things with this name lol.
Love her boots!
That Makes you even more memorable!
Lol
Nope I don’t want the eaux on the end, means it’s Cajun or creole… we don’t want that kind affiliated with us! lol ?
Malika nem!
Awe my step daughter is Chivonne (the C-H make a Sh sound) like shivonne.
#direction #religion #location #names
Wait what! Chicago??

LMFAO
All day
I LOVE you for your entire comment.
Don’t she though?!
Horrid.
Hmm…it’s different…kind of cute and original. Ok Chi west ?…
Well Jay Z had 2 daughters and neither is named Brooklyn. Kanye should have followed suit.
What job u know pays 68K for 40 weeks? She actually got paid more than typical which is about 50K…
All I can think about is Chicago from Poetic Justice. Did the baby come out brushing her hair?
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fe1e1cbc58af5caf4eaabce1160a120abbb048eab51f5175eb3f9c9d5c5ddd93.gif
Thank you?
Thanks
How do you pronounce guitar? For your name I’m getting “Guh-nah” if I am pronouncing it like guitar. But the nickname threw me off because now I’m thinking your nickname is just Guh lol and that can’t be right. Either way, pretty picture!
I said it once and I’ll say it again, Sydney is going to have her working chitlin circuits! They are delusional if they think popularity, public opinion and demand don’t matter. She’s butt burned because she is an Oscar winner, but what have you done for us lately?! Not to mention the fact that Netflix is very inclusive and diverse, so she doesn’t care about effecting the money of other black producers and actors (if this “boycott” were to pick up steam). She’s selfish and manipulative!
Lol thank you. Your close. Maybe I’m pronouncing guitar wrong? But here’s another way. Take the hard G from Guitar. Add in the two ees from the word eel lol and end with a nah.
Ohhhh.. I am from the north; that’s why. “gee-tar” is how southern people tend to say it. I think your name is pretty!
Chicago is a crazy place. Just like these two.
Agree. I just think the idea came from that.
I read on another blog that the surrogate was paid $150k
You took the words out of my mouth. When she started talking I immediately thought that her husband put her up to this. The whole blurb was nonsense and she knows that.
They should have named her Chicago Raquel and they could have called her Chi Raq!
I think each family comes up with their own terms. I’ve seen the Surrogate move in with the family. I’ve seen the family pay the surrogates rent, food, utilities, etc, plus payment. I think they’re lying about that measly amount they claim they paid her.
I’m just not feeling the aspect of he’s from the South Side, and now his kid is named after the West Side Petty,IK, because he didn’t choose his last name. So when they call her Shai West, it’ll be ok.
They name their kids unique names because they are automatically famous based on their parents. They like to copyright their names and giving them normal names lessens the chance of owning the copyright. This is why y’all should do research before just giving your ill informed opinions.
That would be kidnapping and she’s go to jail a long time. She carried the baby but the egg and sperm is Kanye’s and Kim.
Be quiet. Naming a child a crazy name just in hopes of copyrighting it is narcissistic fool.
Ok so like Janae? Gee nah…not Gina but a emphasis on nah or Guh nah? I’m really what to know
Almost got it love… say the name Gina. But pronounce the G hard….like girl or guitar or Guinness. Don’t pronounce the G like George or how Gina normally sounds. The “na” sounds like the The ending of Sabrina. Lol this is my life and I appreciate you trying to figure it out.
LMAO
Kim Koven? I burst into laughter
Im of Haitian descent so I get it. Pronounced not with a J sound like Gina, but with a Gee like glee sound. Gee-Nah
Yasss prefect. Lol you understand the struggle.
She claims to be the “most decorated comedian alive.” Seriously lady? Are you for real? There are a lot of celebrated and seasoned comedians alive still.
Umm that’s kind of cute,they should of let you name the baby bcause ebony starr is a pretty name
I kinda like the name. It doesn’t bother me one bit. There’s a whole lot of Paris, China, Milan & Italy’s running around & folks don’t say nothing. ?????
Oh ok girl got it, like I thought from the beginning whew!! Lol
After several years and multiple run throughs, they are masters at their craft (as they should be).
She looks orange. She wants to be brown so bad.
That was a cheap price for a baby…That ain’t even a year pay of my job salary…Ain’t no way. They rich ass would have had to show me the money $,$$$, $$$. $$
Chicago was not an uncommon name for brothers back in the day. Everyone’s family had a Chi or family friends named Chi. We can guess what Kanye’s next album will be named.
She has to be a gold diggers Hero. She doesn’t even have to have sex with her husband or carry his child and she is securing the bag. LMAOO She has him walking behind her… OMG Wow All thats missing is a leash she broke him down.
Gossip sites are saying she lied about the amount they were offered, that it was only six figures, because people are sick of this family! Ever notice how the only time he’s smiling is when she’s not around him? Very telling!
Thank You, but I can’t take credit for the name Ebony Starr. That is the middle names of tennis star Venus Williams.
Lmao 4 real I didn’t no that.My sister name is Ebony Estelle rose,and she hates it they named her after both my grandmother’s
Succubus They are all laid out in a new Calvin Klein ad. Everyone that enters their life is somehow cursed. Kanye looks like all he can do now is say “I like apples and bananas” Being married to a lawyer that was in the know and knew plenty of high profile peoples darkest and dirtiest secrets gives you a mighty sword. The only one that has talent or actually works is Kendall. Something about this family is dark. There is not that much hustle in the world if so there would be more than this family. I still believe they are succubus. God Bless any man that enter their life. Kanye wanted Kim so bad now that he has her he walks around like he operates by remote control. The doc that told her she couldn’t hv another child was not her ob/gyn it was her plastic surgeon. She has no more skin to stretch, tuck, or pull and at her age no workout will ever make her “snap back”
Emily Post.. Has to be the best user name ever…lol
East would hv been better, Do any have his mother’s name as their middle name?
Ebony Estelle Rose is a beautiful name! A lot of people have to grow to like their names.
Chicago? Really??
SMMFH at all these stupid azz names.
PAHAHAHAHAHA she wrong for that ???
