In a simple post on [her personal app](https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/954418470065725441) on Friday, Kim simply listed the name “Chicago West” as the new moniker for their baby girl. The name can be interpreted as a sweet tribute to the city that Kanye grew up in and references frequently and lovingly in his music. Chicago, who was born on Monday via surrogate, is the third child for Kim and Kanye, who already have a daughter, 4-year-old North and a son, 2-year-old Saint. As might be expected, the Internet had plenty of opinions about the newest Kardashian-West offspring and took to the web to share them. > [](https://twitter.com/hayejunt/status/954421038372225024) > [](https://twitter.com/hunteryharris/status/954422481619705856) > [](https://twitter.com/bronze%5FbombSHEL/status/954423323672408066) > [](https://twitter.com/HayesBrown/status/954421933352914945) > [](https://twitter.com/themeredith/status/954419741782810624) > [](https://twitter.com/themeredith/status/954419741782810624) > [](https://twitter.com/dreesoul/status/954418986183163904) > [](https://twitter.com/derekhaas/status/954424270804828162) > [](https://twitter.com/rikknives/status/954424848360660998) > [](https://twitter.com/%5F%5F%5FBrookiee/status/954425092699840514) > [](https://twitter.com/FreddyAmazin/status/954424986827071488) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5110246/kim-kardashian-west-new-baby-girl-name/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5110246/kim-kardashian-west-new-baby-girl-name/"},"headline":"The Internet Is In Disbelief Over Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's New Baby Girl's Name","datePublished":"2018-01-19T18:59:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:54.156Z","description":"The name is a sweet tribute to Kanye's hometown","url":"https://time.com/5110246/kim-kardashian-west-new-baby-girl-name/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","Kanye West","Kim Kardashian","kimye","kim kardashian west"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4595a732e58041a9/6988f8d58fd2eeb0ed35a604/kim-kardashian-west-new-baby-girl-name-kanye.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4595a732e58041a9/6988f8d58fd2eeb0ed35a604/kim-kardashian-west-new-baby-girl-name-kanye.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 MTV Video Music Awards - Arrivals","caption":"2016 MTV Video Music Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Dimitrios Kambouris—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5110246/kim-kardashian-west-new-baby-girl-name/","name":"The Internet Is In Disbelief Over Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's New Baby Girl's Name"}}]}] ```
