Waxman Staff Writer Dec 7, 2015 9:34 PM UTC Rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West announced Monday that their second child born Saturday is a boy who weighs eight pounds and one ounce named “Saint.” The running joke on the Internet was that the couple would name the child after a direction in geography like “South” or “Easton,” since their two-year-old daughter is named “North,” but Kardashian made it clear in [interviews](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/12/07/kanye-kim-kardashian-west-name-son/?xid=socialflow%5Ffacebook%5Fpeoplemag) that she would never do that. But, [as Twitter users](https://twitter.com/zach%5Fstoned/status/673965582442586112) point out, the kids’ initials did turn out to be directions: NW, SW. Here are some of the funniest Twitter reactions to the baby name so far: > [](https://twitter.com/BruceFeiler/status/673964621137448960) > [](https://twitter.com/doubledaypub/status/673957358259847168) > [](https://twitter.com/socarolinesays/status/673954802066329600) > [](https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/673960120523493377) > [](https://twitter.com/Kathbum/status/673968732318867456) > [](https://twitter.com/ComedyCentralUK/status/673964763869806593) > [](https://twitter.com/alexisthenedd/status/673955881046814720) > [](https://twitter.com/SouthwestAir/status/673966472775921664) > [](https://twitter.com/sashhcrum/status/673972102337269760) > [](https://twitter.com/itsKELSEYtho/status/673973389124571136) > [](https://twitter.com/GabbyCroci23/status/673963648239411200) > [](https://twitter.com/MarcusJonesNY/status/673956661552406529) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4139301/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-kimye-saint/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4139301/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-kimye-saint/"},"headline":"These Are the Funniest Twitter Reactions to Saint West's Name","datePublished":"2015-12-07T21:34:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:54.069Z","description":"He was born Saturday","url":"https://time.com/4139301/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-kimye-saint/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5dcecb24eb085d37/69887422cf40a84fdec40f43/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-saint.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
