It didn't take long after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby's name, North West, was leaked on Thursday night before Twitter erupted in jokes.
From the obvious cheap shots ("Did she give birth to a baby or a compass?") to simple photos of the extinct airline carrier by the same name ("First picture of Kim and Kanye's new baby!"), within an hour of the announcement, "North West" was a hot topic for online comedians. Another popular observation? If little Kimye ever has a book or fashion line, she can name it "North by North West"--just like the Hitchcock film starring Cary Grant. ...
In fact, there are already several North West parody Twitter accounts, including @Its_North_West ("You may laugh at my name but i laugh at your bank balance.") and @NorthKimWest.

No, they’ll market a toy line or clothing line or something called “North, by North-west”. Always thinking about the almighty dollar probably.

I think “Africa Gone West” sounds better. Gotta have a middle name!

That kid is screwed. It was probably screwed just on the basis of the alarmingly shallow DNA pool, but going through life with a phucked up name will finish it off.
No kidding. They didn't even have the decency to give him one of the classic names - like Anquon or Latrell.

Or “Wylde-Wylde” with deference to Robert Conrad and Ross Martin.

Maybe it's a plan. Four children could be:
North West
South West
East West
West West

The kid will probably go to some swanky private school where all the other kids have celebrity parents, and they’ll all have names like Apple and Moon Unit, so it’ll be okay.
