Kimye's new son isn't the first celebrity baby named Saint

In an emoji-laden announcement, Kim Kardashian West tweeted Monday that she and husband Kanye West have named their baby boy Saint:

"I was really sure we were going to have to cancel a show, or that he was going to show up, and he didn't," Wentz once said on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. "That's why Saint ended up happening, which will only be a problem, I feel, if he actually became a saint. That would be really weird."
