Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's new baby's name revealed

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's new baby's name sure hits close to home.

The famous couple named their new daughter Chicago West, Kardashian revealed Friday on her website.

Chicago is West's hometown, which he regularly references to his in his music.

Kardashian then referred to the baby with a nickname Chi, in a tweet, while her sister Khloe tweeted that "Shy" is the pronunciation for the moniker.

"I LOOOOOOOOOOVE her name," Khloe wrote.

The baby was born Monday through a surrogate. She is Kardashian and West's third child, joining 4-year-old daughter North and 2-year-old son Saint.

Kardashian, 37, and West, 40, opted to use a surrogate for the first time after doctors told the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star it'd be unsafe for her to carry a third child following a pair of complicated pregnancies.

She opened up about turning to another woman to carry her child in a blog post Thursday.

"People assume it's better because you don't have to deal with the physical changes, pain or complications with delivery, but for me it was so hard to not carry my own child, especially after I carried North and Saint," Kardashian wrote.

West told paparazzi photographers Wednesday that he and Kardashian were still trying to decide on a name.
