And one thing we were pretty sure of was that the baby's name would likely be unusual. After all, he was preceded by siblings called North, Saint, and Chicago.

Well, a week after her son arrived, Kim took to Twitter to announce that she and Kanye had settled on a name: Psalm West.

Since then, neither Kim nor Kanye have spoken much about the inspiration behind the moniker. However, last week Kim's half-sister Kendall Jenner appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and appeared to shade the name choice by saying she didn't "care for it".

She said: "Kim made me come to her house and help her pick a name. And it was this whole thing. She would not let me leave the house until we figured out a name, and then ended up going with a name that I didn't even— like, that I didn't care for as much. I think they were all really beautiful, but I was kind of rooting for another name."

Well, Kim has now responded to Kendall's comments, hinting that she was annoyed her sister didn't keep her opinion on the name private.

Speaking on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Kim said: "First of all: Say it to me first; don't say it on TV."

And she went on to explain the entire process behind choosing the name Psalm.

She said: "There's a grace period of when you have to name your child before you have to go to the government's office and do the paperwork. A 10-day rule. We had, like, an hour. In the morning, Kanye was working and busy and I knew our list [of names]. So I called every sister and was like, 'What are you doing?'"

Kim explained that Kendall was available, and so Kim told her to come over to her house immediately, saying that she wouldn't be allowed to leave until they'd settled on a name. Kylie Jenner also dialled in on FaceTime.

She said: "Kylie and I were vibing on the same name. I have this big hallway and we were screaming out every name, like, 'Psalm! Get over here!' Kylie and I were vibing on the name, but I think Kendall was more mad that her choice wasn't first, and that's why she was hating on Fallon."

Kim also said that despite the backlash, she believes each of her babies has "become" the names she's given them — none more so than 6-year-old North.

She said: "I know that North West is a very unique name. I didn't name her for maybe three or four days. I looked at her and I said a prayer with her. I was like, 'I pray to god that you can handle your name. I hope you are this name that I'm choosing.'"

"It was really emotional for me," she continued. "You can’t go higher than North. Now, she’s so her name. There would be no other name for my baby but North, so they really do become their name."
