Shortly after rapper Kanye West and reality TV star Kim Kardashian West [announced](http://time.com/4139301/kanye-west-kim-kardashian-kimye-saint/) that they have named their newborn son Saint West, _Jimmy Kimmel Live_ decided to mess with people in Los Angeles who hadn’t heard the news yet (or so it seemed). Passersby were asked what they thought of the celebrity couple naming their new baby Kia Sorento or Keurig. (The latter would be timely, given the news of German JAB Holding Company’s $13.9 billion takeover of the single-cup coffee brand.) The made-up names make Saint seem like a totally normal choice after all.


## Transcript

We finally have the name of the newest heir to the reality show throne, Saint West. Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West posted the name of their brand new baby boy online. Saint is Kimye's second bundle of joy. North's new brother was born weighting 8 lbs. and 1oz. on December 5 after being breech just days before. Getting the newest member of the Kardashian clan here wasn't exactly easy. Kim was pretty open about her fertility issues and complications during her pregnancy. They have recommended to me to get a surrogate and I would like to hold out a little bit longer and still try. I still have hope.

I could possibly have diabetes. I think this is just a wake up call that things Just might not be going the way that I thought they were, and that I just need to try to be healthy. People on Twitter were certainly excited about the name finally dropping. Saint West was trending less than five minutes after the announcement.
