Twitter Guesses Kimye's Next Baby Name

We're still getting used to the fact that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have three kids already, but if reports are to be believed, the Kimye clan is about to add yet another new member. Less than a year after daughter Chicago (or Chi, for short) was born via surrogacy, news broke that the power couple was expecting its fourth child, who will also be born using a surrogate mother. According to Us Weekly, multiple sources have confirmed that the surrogate (who is not the same woman they used last time around) is expected to give birth to a baby boy sometime in May 2019.

Of course, whenever West or his wife (or any of the Kardashians, for that matter) do anything, people have an opinion on it. The reality TV star was criticized for using a surrogate to bring baby Chicago into the world, a path she chose because she suffers from preeclampsia and placenta accreta, conditions she described as "high-risk" in an open letter to haters. Some folks are already calling Kim K out on Twitter because she opted to use a surrogate again instead of adopting a child in need, but a whole lot of online banter has focused on one topic — baby names.

In addition to Chicago, Kardashian and West are mom and dad to daughter North and son Saint. At this stage, it's pretty much a given that Kimye's fourth child will have an equally unique name, and the guessing game on Twitter is well underway.

If you're a fan of Kanye West (or his merch) then you're probably already familiar with Calabasas, a swanky spot on the outskirts of Los Angeles that many celebs call home. The area was once the site of the famous Warner Bros. ranch, where Hollywood classics such as Casablanca and Sergeant York were filmed. Today, it's a mixture of gated communities and upscale retail complexes. "Will Smith and his family, Michael Jackson's children, and Britney Spears have also called Calabasas home at some point or another," YMZ reports. "But the Kardashians basically own half of the homes and are still perhaps the most well-known Calabasas residents."

This has led many Twitter users to suggest that Kimye will call its fourth child Calabasas, which could be shortened to Cali. Some have suggested the couple could eventually lean into the whole K-name thing the Kardashians are famous for and go with Kalabasas instead, while others have even asked them to zoom out on the map a little and simply call the new addition LA West. We're not sure about that last one, but Cali West does have a ring to it. 

Kanye West probably isn't inclined to name his baby boy after a fellow rapper, but if he had to, then you can pretty much guarantee that the name Drake would be at the very bottom of the list — and we're living in an age when rappers sport names like Lil Toenail. West and Drake have been involved in an on-and-off feud since May 2018, when Pusha-T dissed the Canadian rapper on his Yeezy-produced album, Daytona. Drake fired back with a diss track of his own, targeting both Pusha-T and West. The former responded with yet another diss track, upping the ante considerably by outing Drake's secret child.

Arguments over whether or not West told Pusha-T about Drake's secret son (reportedly mothered by adult movie star Sophie Brussaux) ensued, but West denied spilling the beans. The tension never really went away, however, and as 2018 drew to a close, their beef reached new levels. Even Kim Kardashian got involved, shooting a warning at Drake on Twitter. "Never threaten my husband or our family," she said. "He paved the way for there to be a Drake." Somehow, we can't see mom and dad considering this suggestion for even a millisecond, no matter how much the internet begs them to.

It was an inevitable suggestion given West's position on the president. The rapper's relationship with Donald Trump has filled countless column inches, with their meeting at the White House one that will no doubt go down in history. According to Vox, Bloomberg White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs dubbed what unfolded the "wildest Oval Office event" she'd ever seen, and when you see the transcript, it's not hard to understand why. On top of becoming the first person to use the MF curse in the hallowed office, West had the following to say about Trumps' campaign:

"I'm married to a family where there's not a lot of male energy going on," he said. "I love Hillary. I love everyone. But the campaign 'I'm With Her' just didn't make me feel, as a guy that didn't get to see his dad all the time, like a guy who could play catch with his son. There was something about when I put this hat on that made me feel like Superman. That's my favorite superhero. You made a Superman cape for me." For better or worse, the image of West in the Make America Great Again cap has become an iconic one. In fact, on top of guessing the name Donald West, some Twitter users have even predicted Kimye will go with MAGA West.

Whether this guess was innocent or a dig at Kanye West is hard to judge, but needless to say, we're willing to bet the rapper won't be considering the name Knight for his son, as one Twitter user suggested. His latest beef might be with Drake, but West has also had trouble with notorious Death Row Records producer Suge Knight. In 2005, Knight was shot in the leg while attending a party at Miami's famous Shore Club. The party he was at was being hosted by none other than Yeezy himself, with a star-studded guest list that reportedly included Jessica Alba, The Black Eyed Peas, and Kim Kardashian's now-former BFF, Paris Hilton.

None of the above came forward to provide a witness statement, and neither did anyone else who was at the bash, which West had organized as a warm up for the MTV Video Music Awards. Four years later, Knight sued, with his attorney arguing (via Billboard) that because he was "an icon in the music industry" he had an "expectation of security there." The lawsuit was resolved in 2011, but it was hardly a happy time for West and certainly not one that he'll want to be reminded of every time he looks at his child, even it Knight West does roll right off the tongue.
