Following Kardashian's announcement, fans congratulated the couple and even suggested names for their baby girl. One fan tweeted, "If Kimye don't call their baby Go, Wild, Key or John, it's a huge opportunity missed #kimyebaby." Another fan tweeted, "I hope Kim Kardashian and Kanye West name their new baby daughter 'Wild Wild' for the culture."
West and Kardashian had long kept their expectant parent status under wraps, refusing to confirm that they're expecting a baby despite published reports. Back in September, however, Kardashian confirmed in a clip from "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" season 14 that a baby was indeed on the way.
In the said clip, Kardashian tells her sister Khloe, "What happens every time I say, 'Guess what?'" Khloe then responds, "The person's pregnant?" "We're having a baby!" Kardashian exclaims.
Kardashian and West decided to conceive via surrogate because the doctors felt that it wasn't safe for Kardashian to carry her own baby. Since the beginning, Kardashian has been open about the complications she had to suffer from her previous pregnancies.
