North West. The alleged name of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's newborn daughter, which has been reported in all the most reputable celebrity gossip sources (Us Weekly, People, TMZ), is everything we could have hoped for and more. By combining the first name "North" with the last name "West," Kim and Kanye have given their baby a moniker that doubles as a piece of advice for anyone driving to Seattle. And they lived up to widespread speculation that the tabloid-friendly couple would find something utterly ridiculous to name their child. North West may, in fact, be the craziest celebrity baby name in history.
But with so many legitimate contenders for the "celebrity baby name" throne, could North West really be the craziest celebrity baby name of all time? What about Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple? Nicolas Cage's son Kal-El? Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit?
