Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West have finally revealed the name of their new daughter and it’s just as unique as Saint and North.

The Wests have paid homage to ‘Ye’s hometown by naming their new daughter Chicago. Kardashian made the announcement on social media with a simple tweet, “Chicago West.”

This is the couple’s third child. The pair welcomed their first, North, back in June 2013. In December 2015, they welcomed a son, Saint. 

Kardashian revealed in September that the pair had chosen a surrogate to carry their third child after opening up about her struggles with placenta accreta. A source told PEOPLE, “Given her health scares in the past, Kim felt the need to hire a surrogacy agency that helped serve as the liaison in finding a healthy woman who would be a great surrogate option for her and Kanye. Both of them have been super involved in the process.”

After the arrival of Chicago, the reality star took to her site to thank the doctors, nurses, and her surrogate for a “healthy, beautiful baby girl.”

“We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care,” she said.

While Chicago may seem like an unusual name, never forget that there’s a celebrity out there who named their kid Pilot Inspektor.
