Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s fourth baby has arrived — securing an entirely new generation of Keeping Up With The Kardashians cast that I’m seriously looking forward to watching in 20 years.
The name of the latest family’s latest addition hasn’t yet been revealed. But Kim has been dropping some hints that have not gone unnoticed…
RELATED STORIES
Rumors have played a big role in naming Kim’s other children – like, North, for instance.
Before North was born, rumor had it that she would be named after a direction to match her soon-to-be last name “West”.
These rumors weren’t actually true until Anna Wintour, a highly respected individual in the fashion industry and someone Kim has a ton of respect for, chimed in.
“Actually, Anna [Wintour] had some influence in naming North, because once she heard that rumor, she asked me and said that name was genius.” Kim told Vogue . “So, that was helpful to me.”
Next up was Saint.
Kim birthed both North and Saint the old fashioned way — not by a surrogate. But experienced some fairly strenuous pregnancies.
Before getting pregnant for the second time, Kim had to undergo three surgeries to repair her uterus from her first pregnancy.
For months Kim and Kanye were trying for a second child before they realized they may have to try an alternative form of conception.
They ultimately took the route of vitro-fertilization — which was a success!
Kim considered her second pregnancy to be a “blessing” — hence naming her son “Saint”. Or so the rumors suggest.
Then came little miss Chicago.
Kim was advised against carrying her third child, after her first two complication-riddled pregnancies.
So instead, she and Kanye used a surrogate — allowing them to add a healthy, happy second daughter to their growing family.
Chicago’s name also has a great story behind it.
Kim and Kanye named Chicago after the birthplace of Kanye’s late mother, Donda West.
For short, the family calls her “Chi”.
Since the arrival of Kim and Kanye’s fourth child, they’ve been holding out on telling us his name.
While it’s possible that they just haven’t named him yet, fans are keeping their eyes peeled for any and all clues that may reveal his name.
Kim revealed what his name will definitely “not” be: Another direction.
In a 73-question segment with Vogue , Kim explained that North will be her only child named after a direction.
“He will definitely not have another direction,” she said .
So we know we can rule out East, South, and West as potential baby names.
After Kim’s CBD-themed baby shower, however, she shared a photo on Instagram with a caption that eagle-eyed fans have dissected into a plausible name giveaway.
When Saint was born, Kim used a baby boy emoji in her announcement.
But for her latest son’s arrival, she used a plush bear emoji.
We thought it may have been just a random, coincidental baby-boy-related emoji choice.
But then she kept doing it?
Here’s the bear emoji spotted again!
There’s an ongoing theme here, and fans are convinced it’s a sign.
But then Kim gave away an even bigger hint.
Before her newest son was born, Kim mentioned in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, that she was considering naming her son after her father and brother: Robert.
“Actually, I do have one name. I was truthfully thinking about just naming him Rob, after my brother, Rob, but then it’s like, North, Saint, Chicago, Rob. It doesn’t like, really go. But I really was feeling that, or, like, Robert. And my brother approved it, so that’s like, our one ‘kind of’ name,” she said.
And then earlier this week, Kim posted a video on Instagram of her eldest son, Saint, holding a cardboard cutout mask of his uncle Rob’s face.
“I’m Uncle Robbie, what’s your name?” Saint says — nudging Kim to play along.
Saint then takes the mask off and giggles. It was super cute.
So, if we take into consideration that Kim said she was thinking about naming her son Rob, in combination with this video, we may have a major hint on our hands.
But how does this all tie in with the teddy-bear emoji?
Is there even a correlation?
Is it all just a coincidence?
Are Kim and Kanye messing with us on purpose because they know we will read into absolutely anything they give us?
I’m very close to just naming the baby myself. I can’t take the anticipation any longer.
Do you think the baby’s name is Rob?
Is there some kind of hidden meaning behind the teddy-bear emoji?
