Kim revealed the name of her daughter via her app on Friday. It’s unclear if the couple chose the name earlier in their surrogate’s pregnancy or after meeting their newborn daughter. Kanye grew up on the South Side of Chicago.
Kim also added that the baby’s nickname will be Chi, pronounced “Shy.”
North, Saint & Chi

Baby Chi was born via surrogacy on January 15 and weighed 7 lbs., 6 oz. Kim and Kanye were both in the room when she was born and Kim was the first to have skin-to-skin contact. Kim announced her daughter’s birth via her app on Tuesday (Jan. 16).
“Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl. We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care. North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister.”
This is Kim and Kanye’s third child. They also have daughter North, 4, and son Saint, 2. We wish the family of five well.
Of course once the news hit Twitter, the jokes and memes came right in like clockwork:

Kim & Kanye just named their baby girl “Chicago West”.
I’m jealous American locations always sound cool as names !
(Dakota, Brooklyn, Montana, Georgia etc.)
If I tried to name my child after a Scottish location it’d end up with a name like “Cumbernauld Wilson”…

When you realize Kanye named his kids – North West, Saint West, and Chicago West …..
