Kim and Kanye’s Baby Name Proves to Be Comedy Gold

North West's parents (Getty Images)Baby's first … punch lines?!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are used to getting attention for every little thing they do, so we're certain they braced themselves for the big announcement that they have named their baby North West. While the little girl will go by the adorable nickname Nori – which omg! realized is a combination of their middle names, Noel and Omari (sweet!) – it hasn't stopped Internet jokesters from having some fun with the direction-heavy name, which started trending on Twitter as soon as the news broke Thursday evening.


Now, without further ado, some of the most amusing reactions to #NorthWest on the Interweb:

Kim & Kanye almost named the baby South West, until they heard the infant would then be required to make 3 daily flights to Phoenix.
