Besides spilling about a possible new sex tape, Kim dished to GQ that the media actually fueled the fire around the name. “It was a rumor in the press and we’d never really considered [the name North] seriously at all,” Kim admitted.
So what eventually led Kimye to change their minds about the adorable geographical moniker? None other than Pharrell and Anna Wintour, naturally!
“Kanye and I were having lunch… and Pharrell came over to us and said, ‘Oh my god, are you guys really going to call your daughter North? That is the best name,’” Kim said.
After his approval was sealed, Vogue Editor and fashion maven, Anna Wintour, cosigned on the name. “A little while later Anna Wintour came over and asked the same thing,” Kim said. “She told us, ‘North is a genius name.’ Kanye and I looked at one another and just laughed. I guess at that point it sort of stuck.”
