Kim Kardashian baby name: Have Kimye called their baby boy Bear?

Kim Kardashian could have taken inspiration from Cheryl and Liam Payne for her newborn’s name.

Kardashian welcomed her “perfect” fourth child with husband Kanye West via a surrogate on Friday.

She has yet to reveal his name, but fans think her latest Twitter posts suggest she has called him ‘Bear’ - the name of Cheryl and Payne's two-year-old son.

Following his birth, the mother-of-four, tweeted pictures from her CBD-themed baby shower and captioned them with the bear emoji.

She tweeted: “We celebrated our baby boy about a week ago and now he’s here! He’s so perfect! Here are some pics of my CBD baby shower. I was freaking out for nothing because he is the most calm and chill of all of my babies so far and everyone loves him so much.”

Bear could be another nod to West’s hometown of Chicago whose NFL team is called the Chicago Bears. Their third daughter Chicago is named aftet the city.

Rob is the current favourite moniker, with odds of 9/2 to be chosen, according to Betfair.

It is the name of Kardashian’s brother and late father. She previously hinted that she is “feeling” the name.

“I was truthfully thinking about just naming him Rob, [after] my brother,” she told Jimmy Kimmel.

“Then it’s North, Saint, Chicago... Rob,” she said. “It doesn’t, like, really go. But I really was feeling that, or like Robert, and my brother approved it. So that’s our one kind of name.”

She said that she usually waits “three or four days” after the birth of a child before deciding upon a name.

“We all weigh in – I definitely take a family survey, but it’s usually after the baby’s born and we’re trying to figure out what the baby looks like,” she said.
