Will it be a K Name for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Baby?

Will it be a K Name for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Baby?
Fame/Flynet

Big baby naming rumors alert! Since the announcement last week that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting a baby, blogs, news outlets and social media have been abuzz with speculation about what they will name the little one. And maybe even a bigger question - will it begin with a K?

As some have suggested, we don't think "Kimye" will be making the list. Although celebrities are notoriously/stereotypically self-involved, this feels a little excessive (though let's not forget George Foreman, who has five sons named George). We think Kim and Kanye will pick something a little more original. 

Although Kim's sister Kourtney strayed from the "K" naming tradition with her children, Mason Dash and Penelope Scotland, and Khloe has already ruled the tradition out, Kim might be different. With Kanye also baring a K-name, it seems more likely they will stick with the Kardashian family tradition than either Kourtney or Khloe.

We took a look at a few names based on our Expert NameFinder tool on BabyNameWizard.com, looking for names that are more likely to be uncommon and creative, but still begin with K. Here are our favorites: 

  • Kalix - For a boy, the x at the end gives it a little something extra, and according to Namipedia, Calix means "very handsome" in Greek.
  • Kullen - Since the Kardashians are trendsetters, it might be a wise move to jump on an already rising trend with a respelling of the name Cullen, which is on the rise thanks to the Twilight series.
  • Kameron or Karsyn - Cameron and Carson were traditionally boys names, now popular girls names and a respelling could give them a nice boost.
  • Kashmir - A place name and a play on a decadent sounding word seems fitting for the couple.
  • Kalifornia - We admit we're not the first to come up with this one, but since place names are on the rise and Kim is from California, it doesn't seem too far fetched.

What do you think of our suggestions? What do you think Kim and Kanye will name their baby? Do you think they will stick with the K naming tradition?

My guess is that they will avoid the whole K thing since at this point it is over done in their family and they want to branch our and begin their own "brand." (I know Khloe and Lamar will do all Ls) I think Kim and Kanye will honor their deceased parents. His mom was Donda and her dad was Robert. Something like:

Boys:

Robert Kardashian West

Dash Robert West

Dashel Robert West

Robert Jenner (a long shot to honor often over looked by always their stepdad)

Girls:

Dawn Kardashian West
Dayna Rose
Reese Donda
Dahlia Rose
Rosie Donda
Robbie Dahlia
Daisy Rose
Diana Reese

I think Kim will stick with the K's. In an episode of Keeping Up with The Kardashians a while back (during the Kris Humphries era) Kim asked Kourntey and Khloe if they intended on using K names and alluded to having a few that she would like to claim "dibs" on. She never mentioned those names on air, but I would not be at all surprised if she still harbors K name tendencies.

If he looks like a dreamer, he doesn’t bother about anything, if he cannot entertain a proper conversation and doesn’t answer properly because he is in the clouds preoccupied with something else then you as parent should take a stand against those Video games. -Missed Fortune

since when is Kameron more popular for girls? Never has been.

I hope, if they have a boy, they go with Kai.

But what happens when you lose said phone? How far would you go to get it back in your possession? A woman in Brazil was willing to risk her life to save her Touch Screen watch phone. A new video that surfaced on YouTube shows the drastic lengths to which she went to retrieve her phone. She climbed onto the tracks at Sao Paolo's Corinthians-Itaquera train station just as a commuter train bore down on her.
