July 14, 2015

Kim Kardashian made quite a statement when she named her daughter North West – but she definitely won't be following suit when it comes to her baby son. Despite popular opinion that she should call her second-born 'South West', the pregnant star dismissed the suggestion outright during an appearance on Shaquille O'Neal's The Big Podcast on Monday. "How many times have you been asked this question..." former basketball star Shaq asked, "Kim, you're pregnant, you've announced it's a boy, are you gonna name it South West?"

I don't want to try and duplicate that with like a lower direction, you know?"Kim announced that she was expecting her second baby with husband Kanye West in June, and confirmed that the new arrival would be a little boy in a sweet Father's Day message on Instagram.
