KIM Kardashian and Kanye West have revealed the name of their newborn son.
Wait for it — Saint West.
The famous couple welcomed their second child together on Saturday in Los Angeles, and Kim took to her website to reveal the baby boy’s name.
“To our fans. Saint West. 12.05.15. 8 pounds, 1 ounce,” the post reads.
She also shared the already-famous bub’s name on Twitter, using a selection of emoticons. In less than an hour, the tweet had already been retweeted more than 45,000 times and was the top trending post. No surprises there.

The 35-year-old reality TV star took to Twitter early on Saturday morning to inform fans that the bub had arrived.
“He’s here!”, Kim tweeted, along with a photo of her and Kanye holding hands.

In another announcement on her website, the mum-of-two updated fans that “mother and son are doing well.”
The new addition does not have a middle name, despite sources previously suggesting the couple would use Robert, in honour of the Kardashian sister’s late father Robert Kardashian.
The KUWTK star announced before her son was born that she and her rapper husband would not be sticking with the “direction” theme.
“I think it’s so stupid,” she said during an interview back in June. “I don’t like South West. North will always be better.”
During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September, Kim revealed that she was a fan of the name Easton West, but unfortunately Kanye wasn’t into it.
Kim told People magazine last month that they were putting off choosing a name until the last minute. “It’s like the last thing that Kanye and I did when North was born,” she said. “We didn’t name her for like seven days. I feel like it will just come to us.”
The pair are already parents to two-year-old daughter North West, born in June 2014.
Fans went berserk on social media upon hearing the newborn’s name, and some of the reactions are priceless. Here are a few of the best:
