American celebrity couples have, over the course of the last few years, shocked the world when it comes to name selections for their babies.

From rapper Kanye West and socialite ex-wife Kim Kardashian, to world’s richest man Elon Musk and singer Grimes, the world has heard it all with the crazy and – sometimes – weird baby names.

Below are a few;

Kanye and Kim were married between 2014 and 2022, during which time they were blessed with four kids, namely; North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West.

Surprisingly, they claim they didn’t get these names out of the blue. According to Kim, the reason for naming their daughter North is because she believes it’s the ultimate height and "You can't go higher than North."

She revealed that their second born was named Saint because Kanye believes that people usually live up to their names hence, he wanted a name with a spiritual importance.

Furthermore, their third born was named Chicago after the American city because the place was of great importance and meaning to Kanye.

Lastly, their son Psalm West was named after the book of Psalms in the Bible because they felt he was perfect and such a blessing to them.
