If you weren't already aware, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their son Saint West.
A better choice than South, for sure, but still not the most common name out there. Of course, Twitter users had some thoughts on the moniker.
Some people liked it:
I like the name Saint West.

They've called their child Saint? And his cousin is called Reign. Do the #Kardashians not understand names?

Some weren't aware it's not quite that original:
And the #Kimye baby name is #SaintWest! Does that make @kanyewest the Pope? The most original celeb baby name - ever! 👏

Some people didn't think making fun of a child's name was the best use of their time:
Not overly interested in attacking the ego of a celebrity by making fun of a child's name. You all need to check yourselves. #saintwest
