Kim Kardashian, Kanye West's baby name North West inspires jokes, spoof Twitter handles


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their baby daughter North West. Without hours of the news breaking, the name had become an Internet punchline.

It didn't take long after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby's name, North West, was leaked on Thursday night before Twitter erupted in jokes. From the obvious cheap shots ("Did she give birth to a baby or a compass?") to simple photos of the extinct airline carrier by the same name ("First picture of Kim and Kanye's new baby!"), within an hour of the announcement, "North West" was a hot topic for online comedians.

In fact, there are already several North West parody Twitter accounts, including @Its_North_West ("You
may laugh at my name but i laugh at your bank balance.") and @NorthKimWest.
“F—k, I lost my office pool. I had Ratings Spike Kardashian-West.” – “American Pie” actor Jason Biggs
"Then North West became someone's name and I died" –"Two Broke Girls" actress Kat Dennings
