Kimye ved, hvordan man snor internettet om sine lillefingre. Tænk, hvis de havde kaldt deres nyfødte Andre, Shawn eller Bruce, så havde de ikke fået nær den samme omtale, som det giver at kalde sit barn Saint.
På sin vis er Saint ualmindeligt velvalgt. Saint passer ind i Kim og Kanyes nærmest gudelige mytologi, hvor Kanye både er Yeezus og ‘a God’ og Kim er den hellige jomfrumoder. På andre måder er det i store træk et ret fjollet navn, der samtidig rummer et vist ansvar. Jeg mener, det er rimeligt tungt at skulle leve op til at være helgen hele sit liv.
Internetreaktionerne har således været meget spredte. De startede allesammen med at Kim Kardashian tweetede nyheden ud og præsenterede Saint West som en brun baby-emoji. Genialt:

Reaktionerne faldt prompte. Fra de komplet uironisk positive…
I think Saint is quite a cool name like imagine it in a cool way. Don’t look at like Saint the Angel. #SaintWest — sibs (@Sibsters) 8. december 2015

…over de, der er skuffet over det ikke blev endnu et verdenshjørne eller beskrivelse af samme…

Yo #Kimye, we’re really happy for you, we’ll let you finish, but South is one of the best names of all time. — Southwest Airlines (@SouthwestAir) 7. december 2015

Naming your kid Saint is like naming your daughter Chastity. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment. #SaintWest #doubtful — TaranotTerra (@KiblerTara) 8. december 2015

Saint West: the name of choice for when you know your child will never have to attend a job interview in its life. #SaintWest #Idiots

‘Saint’ they named the poor child. Jesus Mary and Joseph could they not have PICKED a saint? #SaintWest — irishmammies (@irishmammies) 7. december 2015
…og de, der studsede over, at de havde valgt et navn, der matcher football-holdet New Orleans Saints, som Kim Kardashians ekskæreste Reggie Bush spillede for, mens de var sammen.

FUN FACT: #SaintWest, was NOT the first Saint that’s been inside of Kim.

Mest af alt blev der dog bare lavet sjov og spas i cyberland over seneste move fra Kim og Kanye.
We’re shutting down. There’s no way we or anyone else will write a joke as perfect as Kanye naming his son Saint West. See ya! — Comedy Central UK (@ComedyCentralUK) 7. december 2015
No Saint without Yves. #SaintWest — MARC (@TOMFORDISMYDAD) 7. december 2015
Rygterne har i øvrigt svirret et stykke tid i gossip-land, så for ægte Kimye-fans er navnet intet chok. Men ham der forudså navnet for et halvt år siden er alligevel rimelig god til at se ud i fremtiden.
watch kanye name his kid “saint” or some stupid shit
