North West! Kim Kardashian, Kanye reveal their baby’s name. Seriously.
Kim Kardashian named her baby … wait for it … North West. (Twitter)

Just when we thought celebrity baby names couldn’t get any worse (hello, Apple, Dweezle, Jermajesty, Kal-El, Blue Ivy), Hollywood strikes again. That’s right, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s baby girl’s name has been revealed. And the little girl’s name is … wait for it …. North. As in North West. What?
Although the couple has yet to officially confirm the name (and Kim previously denied the rumors of a direction-related name for her baby on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno), media reports say it’s a done deal (and the girl will be nicknamed Nori). Naturally, the Twitterverse is already buzzing with jokes about the name — here are 10 we can’t stop laughing at.
