The 34-year-old was recently interviewed by model Cara Delevingne for US magazine LOVE.
Talking about some of the comments she gets about one-year-old daughter North West, Kim said: “In some ways I’m dammed if I do and dammed if I don’t.
“If I don’t post photos of North I get abuse for not ‘sharing her’, if I do, people accuse me of selling out.
“I remember a picture I posted of North in a towel having had one of her first swims and she had just taken her first steps and I was so excited.
“This one comment I remember said, ‘I hope she drowns and dies’. And I’m like, shocked. Who raised that person? Who would write that?”
Cara then asked what we’ve all be wondering: Why North?
Kim replied: “I don’t like the name South… It came out in the press [about North] and I think people thought it was this joke, ‘oh Kanye and Kim are going to name their kid North West!’
“But then we started to think about it seriously and I said to Kanye, I kind of like this little hippie name North.”
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star also revealed how different North’s childhood is compared to her own.
She said: “Today we had to plot how to get my daughter out of the apartment to go and play in the park like a normal little girl.
“In the states we always have to go to private parks… and that sucks as I had such a normal childhood.”
