Last night, after the mid-season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, E! aired the first teaser for the upcoming episodes and it included footage showing Kim Kardashian informing sister Khloe that she was pregnant with her second child.

You can see the video below. It comes after months of coverage of Kim’s fertility issues and how desperate she and Kanye had become to conceive again.

Minutes after the announcement, the Internet was passionately discussing the odds of Kim naming the second child South.

North West was just the beginning, the Internet wants to believe

Kim and Kanye’s firstborn, whom they welcomed into the world on June 15, 2013, weeks ahead of the due date, was named North West. She goes by Nori for short, but the Internet still can’t get over the fact that she’s named “North West,” even though it’s been 2 years since.

Kim once explained that the name came to them after her realization that both Kanye and the child she bore him were her stars, her most important thing in the world and her greatest accomplishment in life. She wanted to honor that.

Now, the Internet believes that she should “honor” North by naming her younger sibling something similar, like South or West or even East. South West is a favorite though, as you can see from the Twitter samples available below.

One commenter even says that Kanye should name the child Beyonce, but only if it’s a boy. This way, he would both get to reaffirm himself as a genius and the ultimate artist, always doing something against the norm and unexpected, and pay homage to his personal idol, Queen Bey.

Pregnancy will probably be turned into reality show material

This is just the beginning in terms of speculation and jokes made about the name of Kim’s second baby.

Chances are good that the second pregnancy will also be turned into a major story arc on the KUWTK show, just like it happened with the first one.

On the bright side, this means that all those who find the South West joke hilarious will be getting fresh material soon, and maybe even a hint of the direction Kim will be going in with the name.

If you have any ideas about one that could possibly top South West, share them with everyone in the comments section below.
