Kim Kardashian announces the name of her daughter: 'Chicago West'
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their third child earlier this week, and on Friday the baby girl's name was at last officially made public:
Kanye West grew up in a suburb of the city of Chicago, which features prominently in his work, so presumably his daughter's name was inspired by the city and not the 2002 musical. "Chi," as Kardashian indicates Chicago will be called, joins her siblings North and Saint in a household full of unusual names.
