For being the child of two ego-maniacs (do you remeber that Kanye calls himself Yeezus, right?) I believe there could not be a better label for this little boy, and besides, I am happy they ditched any other GPS references, because North West is already questionable per se (even though we all love her!).

However it is no news that celebrities love the attention: they make sure that anything they do oozes exclusiveness. From the last minute grocery store trip wearing sky-high Louboutins, to the gym workout sporting the ultimate crop-top, everything gets the VIP makeover. And when their legacy is involved things start to get even crazier: luxurius baby showers, customized designer clothes, ponys ranches and of course pretentious names.
I believe this was the thought that triggered my imagination (while I was chilling on the sofa, drinking a mug of hot chocolate to award myself on surviving another Monday):
Do I have the potential to raise a celebrity kid?
Would I be able to outdone Kim K and find an even cooler name for my child?
Where would I get my inspiration? A vocabulary? A song? A recipe? A farm? ...God?

I mean this is not an easy job: when you are (or believe to be) Somebody, your child has to reflect your stardom's allure.
