Yes, it's the news we've all been waiting for - Kim and Kanye have announced the name of their third child!

It's been a big week in Kardashian-land (although, to be fair, most weeks are pretty epic with that lot).

But just to recap... Kim and Kanye welcomed their third child - a daughter born via a surrogate (sorry, a 'gestational carrier').

Rumours abounded that Kylie Jenner was in fact the 'gestational carrier' (which would be pretty gross on lots of levels, so let's not dwell on that).

And Kim spilled her heart out about how it felt to not carry her own child in an emotional blog on her app (which you have to pay to read, but luckily for you, we've summarised here!).

Oh, and to top it all off, Beyonce and Jay-Z blew a totally insane amount of $$ on a welcome to the world gift!

Got it?

Obviously, the main thing everyone's wanted to know since Kimye announced their daughter's arrival (apart from, WHERE IS KYLIE? No seriously. What have they done with her? And is she even really preggars?!), was the little nippers name.

Considering the fact their other offspring are named North and Saint, it was a safe bet that this kid would also be landed with a wacky moniker, but which direction would they go in? (South? East?).

Eagle-eyed fans thought they'd cracked it earlier in the week, when Kim posted a close-up of a Louis Vuitton bag on Instagram. SURELY that was a sign the baby would be named Louis? Or Vuitton? Or Elle? Or Love? Or Fleur?

Well no. We're afraid you were all WRONG.

Because Kim Kardashian has just, finally, revealed her third child's name on her app, and her name is drum roll please

CHICAGO WEST!

Why Chicago? Well, we can't lie, at this point we don't know. But what we do know is, it's not as wacky as we were expecting and actually, we kinda like it.

Now, we're just holding out for a picture her!
