Kim Kardashian Named Her Daughter North Because Anna Wintour Said To

In the celebrity world, there are so many bizarre connections, encounters, and twists/turns that it truly boggles the mind. Remember back in a pre-KimYe Vogue cover world, when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were rumoured to be lunching with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, making fashion folks' heads spin everywhere? Well, turns out that lunch was real, and a bit more fruitful than we all realised.

Kardashian told the latest issue of British GQfor which (not that you really need a reminder) Kardashian posed totally nakedthat during said lunch, Wintour had a significant impact on the name she and West would choose for their soon-to-be-born child. Oh, and Pharrell was there, too.

“It was a rumour in the press, and we’d never really considered it seriously at all, but Kanye and I were having lunch about a year ago and Pharrell came over to us and said ‘Oh my God, are you guys really going to call your daughter North? That is the best name,'" Kardashian spills. "I said, ‘No, we’re not, that’s just a rumour.' Then a little while later Anna Wintour came over and asked the same thing! She told us, ‘North is a genius name.'” 

There you have it, folks. The incredibly bizarre (but equally as powerful) combined sway of Pharrell and Anna Wintour resulted in KimYe naming their daughter North West.
