Heh. They might as well name the next child 'Perfection'. It's what they want, right? :roll:

Can they just take a flight in a small plane over the Bermuda Triangle, and possibly take Kim's mother with them?

Considering all the strife & stress in the world, and the way so many people seem to have a need to lash out at anyone different, I think they serve a necessary purpose. They are the court jesters to our social royal court. Note that this does not in any way belittle them, although it's also possible they are the modern equivalent to Roman circuses - skilled entertainers whose only purpose is to keep people's minds happy and occupied, lest they start thinking or acting too much.

Makes you wanna walk right onto the stage and then snatch the infant from Kanye's hands, and then to ask the crowd "isn't 'Charlie' a better name?".

But in all fairness if they lived in a Spanish speaking country it would be perfectly socially acceptable to name a son "Jesus" ( pronounced "HEY-Zeus").

LOLOLOL----TOO funny----LOVE it!!

Oh, geez----it bothers me to no end, when someone's named "Jesus".


@Sylkat: I read one time that Kris was Iranian----maybe Donald Trump will debunk all this "English, Dutch, German" crap, and send her back to her roots!! LOL

Regarding the specific first name they chose...what is actually "wrong" with Saint (besides people wanting to shrilly harp on the family)?

The English word "saint" is from the Latin "sanctus", connected to the Roman god Sancus. The God of oaths and good faith. Seems like a good name, actually, once you know the etymology.

Also, if his name is bad, then wouldn't naming a sports team, the "Saints" be equally bad?

I sometimes watch Ellen accidentally when I can't find the remote. The last time this happened, Kim Kardashian was on, pregnant with this one I guess. Ellen was asking her what she thought about this silly thing or that silly thing that Kanye was doing and it was clear that Kim thinks he is hilarious and is just along for the ride.

I think that Kanye is 100% serious about these names and Kim is like, hahaha isn't this a funny name we actually went through with it!

Hmmmmmm...

Kris Jenner sent to Iran.....where she could only speak with permission, where she must cover up in public, sounds fine time.....

My opinion of her was that she is an attention junkie who raised her daughters to be gold-diggers, but when she wrote that book to capitalize and make money off of Nicole Simpson, I was horrified..... And disgusted.

Well, I don't know why OTHER people don't like it----but, the reason *I* dislike it, is because I'm sick of people giving their kids "superior" names. "Prince", "Princess", "Sterling", "Mercedes", etc.----when Donald Trump named his youngest kid "Baron", I wanted to PUKE! He must not know that's the lowest rank of nobility! I don't think ANYBODY should be acting like they're superior to anybody ELSE!

As for The New Orleans Saints: It's an allusion to "All Saints Day" (Catholic), and the spiritual "When the Saints Go Marching In" (which is a beloved song, to Southerners), which could also be considered a "superior" name; but, I think it's just considered "competitive"----just like when they wear dark colors for home games, to seem intimidating.

Robert Kardashian, the now-dead patriarch and father to all but the two youngest females, was of Armenian descent. The word "kardashian" in Armenian supposedly means "mason". That's why Kourtney named her first born son Mason. Between around 1910 to 1915, it was official policy of the Ottoman Empire, which controlled half of Armenia, to wipe out all Armenians. Thousands fled, most to Russian Armenia or the US. Those who didn't or couldn't were wiped out. Strangely enough, many in Armenia are proud of the Kardashians, because they are probably the most famous people in the world who are Armenian.

I think so, too! She might be a bit narcissistic and he keeps her in the "spotlight", so that's why she puts-up with him.

...and yet, enough people keep watching. Not denigrating, as I have my own guilty pleasures - TV isn't one of them due to my schedule & auditory processing issues. Just pointing out that maybe they are, "crazy like a fox" as the saying goes...

People really need to stop paying attention to the Kardashians. They are in the top 10 of "Celebrities Who Are Famous For No Apparent Reason." {There is a video on You-Tube and you'll see.}
