Psalm

[User18064574]

Kim Kardashian has named her baby.. Psalm West

Reminds me of a PG Wodehouse character called Ronald Psmith - “the p is silent as in pshrimp”.

Did she have a particular psalm in mind when she saddled the poor kid with that name, I wonder?

Blanket get inside you’ll get soaked & be....

Awful name but I would not expect anything else from such a trashy couple

So they have 2 biblical names, one location and one directional. I guess that's a rather diverse selection of children's names.

I guess they will be in "show business" when they are older, so something a bit more out there works better than a regular traditional name I suppose?

I think they just flick through the dictionary, stop and point at a word. Job done

Spam??!

I thought Psalm was pronounced sarm

I thought Psalm was pronounced sarm

. Where do you get the 'r' from?

Surely Samwise is the hobbit, not Sam West?

I’m surprised at myself but I actually quite like Psalm!

Fraxion this conversation happens on every thread like this. Non-rhotic accent. Sarm and Sahm are pronounced the same to me.

I'm sure it was pronounced sarm when I used to go to church every time

It must be a regional thing, I have never heard it pronounced with an 'r'.

Gah, here we go again.

Psalm
Calm
Harm

all rhyme in a non-rhotic accent.

It’s a shocking one but dare I say I don’t think it’s THAT bad...these are the Kardashian’s their baby names are designed to shock.
I think Chicago is actually the worst of the 4...
North wouldn’t be so bad (except the whole surname issue lol)
Saint isn’t weird - I’ve taught a little boy called Saint.
And the newest addition - it will take some getting used to but in the end it will just be a name like all the others

There's really no need to be like that

In my accent Psalm sounds like Sam. Hehe

Maybe they going to have more.

Then they can have psalm 1, psalm 2 etc...

I think it could definitely have been worse. Saint is my least favourite, or North with the surname, which just makes it so gimmicky. Chicago isn’t that bad!

Meaning: to pluck.
Which makes me think of chickens (rather than harps).

@ZenNudist
What’s wrong with having a baby by surrogate?

I also say it sarm, to rhyme with palm, when i say it it sounds nothing like Sam!
I don’t think it’s that bad 🤷‍♀️

I was really hoping it would be Bear.

Boy or girl?

How is it pronounced? I might just be thick but I can't read it 🙈
