WELCOME to the world little Chicago West.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West and her rapper husband Kanye West welcomed their third child last week – and gave her rather an unusual name!

The couple revealed they were calling the tot Chicago West, in reference to the American city where Kanye grew up.

Kim retweeted a post that read: “To everyone who thinks it’s literally pronounced as CHI. No. It’s ‘Shy’.”

The little girl was brought into the world via a surrogate, which is when a woman gives birth to another person’s baby. Kim had a lot of complications in her first two pregnancies and was advised against giving birth again.

This is not the first time Kim and Kanye have chosen an unusual baby name. They called their first daughter, North West and their son, Saint West.
