After Kim Kardashian endured a physically grueling pregnancy, Kanye West is not showing his baby mama any leniency in their first major decision as parents together: naming their newborn daughter. 
 
 
 
 A close friend of Kim’s details their baby-naming battle in this week’s issue of In Touch, on newsstands tomorrow. "North is at the top of the list of names,” the pal dishes about their bundle of joy’s potential name. “They're not totally sure about it. Kanye loves it, Kim is okay with it.”

 And if Kanye has learned one thing about being part of the Kardashian clan, it’s that they stick together! “The family doesn’t like it [the name],” the insider explains, adding, “They're going to decide by today [Tuesday].” 
 
 
 
 We’ll have to stay tuned to see what direction they go in — specifically North West?

 The news was announced in a teaser promo for the second half of the 10th season of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”: Kim Kardashian, wife of Kanye West, is expecting again. 
 
 “I just got the blood test back and I am pregnant,” Kim told her sister Khloe in the promo, as The Washington Post’s Emily Yahr reported.

 Given the initial West-Kardashian spawn’s unusual name — North West — Twitter immediately weighed in on appropriate sequel titles. Some candidates: 
 
 1. South West 
 
 Disadvantage: Shares a name with a well-known airline. Advantage: The airline is actually pretty well-liked. 
 
 2. East West 
 
 Disadvantage: May make people think of wicked witches. Advantage: Wicked witches are feminist.

 Please let them name the baby "Wild Wild West." @TweetOfGod, can you do anything about this? — Franklin Leonard (@franklinleonard) June 1, 2015 
 
 5. North by Northwest 
 
 Alfred Hitchock plus Cary Grant? There is no downside.

 Kim Kardashian & Kanye West -- North West's Name Is Non-Directional 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 andwere not inspired by a compass when they named their kid North ... fact is, the name's more inspirational than directional.Sources close to K & K tell TMZ ... they chose the name North because they see it as a metaphor for "up", telling friends, "What's North of North? Nothing." Translation ... nothing better.We're told the duo believes baby North is their highest point together as a couple ... the pinnacle of the relationship ... and they consider her their "North Star."Kinda sweet. Almost makes ya feel bad for mocking it, right?Almost.
– Still chortling over Kim Kardashian and Kanye West naming their baby North West? Well, the couple would like you to stop. They've been explaining to friends that the name has nothing to do with the direction "northwest," sources tell TMZ. Their explanation: "What's north of North? Nothing." In other words, as TMZ helpfully decodes, the baby is the highest point of their relationship and their "north star." Meanwhile, tabloids are bickering over whether Kim and Kanye are engaged. The Sun claims West proposed to Kim, sans ring, days after she gave birth and has ordered a $768,000 tiger-striped diamond engagement ring as a "push present." (Apparently a growing, delightfully named trend.) But sources tell People and Celebuzz the rumor isn't true. Though, says one source, "I can't imagine them not getting married. That's in their future!"
