Saint. They have called that poor child Saint West.

As if North West wasn't bad enough!

Its not a matter of sense.

The thing is, we all name our children names that match our family 'brand'.

Your taste in baby names, reflects your life - your socioeconomic status, your aspirations, your cultural influences, your ideas about who you are as a person, how you think about your family, and what kind of live you want for the named child.

With this in mind, Ben etc would not have worked for West baby 2.

In the same way that Saint wouldn't work for those who are shitting on it.

Saint would not work in suburban England at the local grammar, in the same way that your little Olivers and Archies work well.

Saint is an excellent name for the child that will grow up in that particular circus. Hats off to K+K, as far as I'm concerned.

That's true.

In a way, this was entirely predictable!

I was at school with a girl called Santa (Saint), short for Santa Maria.

BeaBoo · 08/12/2015 13:53

I quite like it Blush

And DD was born at 37 weeks (due to obstetric cholestasis not diabetes) and was 8lb 7oz! She didn't look massive either.

Dollypeeps · 08/12/2015 15:56

It's better than Jessa Duggars now Seewald baby name Spurgeon

MrsJayy · 08/12/2015 16:04

SHUT UP Spurgeon Shock

LaLyra · 08/12/2015 16:11

I don't think it's that bad in terms of what they could have chosen. It's infinitely better then East/Easton West! I don't think it's as bad as his sister's name either.

Also at least their kids names are equally outlandish. I was given a ridiculous name (worse than these two) despite my siblings having 'normal' names and it made me hate mine more.

MrsJayy · 08/12/2015 16:21

Dh has a daft name his sibling got the perfectly sensible name

Toraleistripe · 08/12/2015 16:23

It's not that bad. Not as bad as the Beckham's kids names which are all awful.

thebestfurchinchilla · 08/12/2015 16:24

Oh my giddy aunt! Awful. Sooo naff.

thebestfurchinchilla · 08/12/2015 16:28

Surprised it's not Selfie West.

BoboChic · 08/12/2015 16:34

LOL at "Selfie" West

WaitrosePigeon · 08/12/2015 16:54

I quite like it Blush

Notso · 08/12/2015 17:09

DS2 was 9lb 0.5 oz at 37 weeks.

I think their name choices suit them down to the ground.

BeaBoo · 08/12/2015 17:11

LaLyra I also have a very unusual name and my two sisters and brother have normal ones. Think my parents lost the plot by the fourth child.

LaLyra · 08/12/2015 22:05

BeaBoo i'm also the fourth child. my siblings are all named after people. Very traditional names. Mine was so ridiculous I swapped to my middle name (my Nana, by all accounts, practically begged my mother to give me something as a middle name) as soon as I could.

RonaldMcDonald · 08/12/2015 22:15

I have an uncle St John ...his family were not Kardashian Wests

shutupandshop · 08/12/2015 22:18

Shock yuck

badg3r · 08/12/2015 22:27

I love that she openly ridiculed the idea of South because south west would be so ridiculous - two directions, (!) but also said she loved Easton and now has a son with the initials SW!
I would love to know what they're really like behind closed doors.

Dollypeeps · 08/12/2015 23:51

Mrsjayy I kid you not that's what he's called full title is Spurgeon Elliot Seewald.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 09/12/2015 00:59

I feel more sorry for Spurgeon than Saint. Atleast Saint and North wont be imprisoned in some awful religion. Saint is also way better than Spurgeon.

MrsJayy · 09/12/2015 09:26

Yip poor spurgeon

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 09/12/2015 11:21

What is a Spurgeon? A fish or a politician? That's all I can think about when I hear it.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 09/12/2015 11:27

Sturgeon is a fish.
Spurgeon is named after an anti-catholic minister. Says it all really.
