Just recently, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian welcomed their third child, this time via a surrogate. Kardashian revealed the news on her website, telling followers, “Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl,” she said. “We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care. North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.”
Days later, the 37-year-old took to the same medium to let everyone what the couple had decided to name their daughter,and we didn't see that one coming.
In a short and simple post, Kardashian announced the child’s name as Chicago West, saying she was born January 15 at 12:47 a.m., weighing in at seven pounds and six ounces. According to younger sister Khloe, they call her Chi, pronounced as “shy.” The name obviously has special meaning for West, as he was raised in Chicago and proudly proclaims the city as his hometown in a lot of his music. But they aren’t the first in their family to name a child after a place. Kardashian’s oldest sister, Kourtney, gave her daughter Penelope the middle name Scotland. As for baby Chicago, she joins big sister North, 4, and brother Saint, 2.
