A gossip blog is reporting Kim and Kanye's baby is named Kaidence Donda West. Donda is his late mother's name. If true, what do you think of the name?

I met a "Cadence" once. It's not a terrible name, but not a huge fan either.

Like the name, hate the spelling. Overall, pleasantly surprised.
I like it spelled Cadence better, like the music term.

@zippylef: Agree-- the name is OK (I don't love or hate it) but I do hate the stupid spelling, if that's the way they did it. I don't personally care for Donda, but if it's a family name then I like it anyway.
I'm just glad she didn't use the girl name I'm thinking about! Starts with a C but she could have made it a K and I'd be pissed.

Its OK, better then I expected but not personally a huge fan. I don't like it spelled with a though. A c would of been better. O do love that they honored his mom though, that's sweet.

I like it! I agree with @zippylef: definitely a pleasant surprise.. I was half expecting another Blue Ivy/Apple type name.

@Mrs. Champagne: I hope the gossip blog had a typo. IMO no need for the extra I when theu already are using a K.
Kim definitely had slim pickings on K names. Kaidence is ok.

Not a fan of that name spelled the common way, and definitely not a fan of it spelled that way! But I think I would've been shocked if I actually liked the name they chose.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: totally agree with the dumb spelling! I hate names when it should start with a C and they change it to a K.. but we knew they were going to do that, so I'm happy with this choice and its no K'Donda or something (saw that on a website this morning and it made me lol!) If they dropped that "i" it would be much much better.

@mediagirl: Ha! My reaction, too!
I'm not much on alternative spellings for names. But, then again, there's also no danger of me shacking up with Kanye West either. To each their own.

Not a fan of Kaidence. Or Donda, but at least that one is meaningful.

Cadence was one of our choices if LO was a girl! Not sure we would have picked it, but DH loves that name (spelled traditionally, obviously). Thankfully, LO is a boy, so no worries

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: maybe the pronunciation is more like Kai (with an "i" at the end) and not Kay (ehh)?

@Pepper: oh man thank god!! that would totally suck to have her use your name and spell it a dumb way! lol
pineapple / 12526 posts
@LaineysMom: OMG, I really hope they're not planning to pronounce it "kai-dence" instead of "kay-dence". If they do, I will change my vote to hate the name, hate the spelling.
I guess we'll know for sure when we all see the gigantic baby special episode that's surely coming.

@Mrs. Champagne: Haha I know, right? I figured whatever name they picked would be spelled oddly!

I like the proper spelling and meaning of the name, though I wouldn't personally use it. Spelling it with a K is lame IMO.

I know a Kadence and I thinks it's prettier than some other names I would have thought they'd come up with!
GOLD / wonderful coffee bean / 18478 posts
I think their usage of K names is so dumb. But at least the middle name is after his mom so that has significance.
pear / 1998 posts
I think Cadence (Kaidence) is a pretty sounding name. I wouldn't use it but I guess it makes a bit of sense because Kanye is in the music industry. I don't like the spelling but I understand why they did it.
I like that they used Donda. We are using family names as middle names too (even though they aren't our most favorite sounding names).
I don't care about them personally, but I find names interesting! I think they did a decent job.

I love Cadence when it's spelled traditionally. With a K? Dumb dumb dumb.
clementine / 916 posts
@zippylef: LOL! Yeah, originally I read it as Kay, but who knows with those 2.. As much as KK bugs the crap out of me, I'm sure ill be watching the (most likely) 2 hr long episode on it. But now are they going to edit it when Kanye isn't on the show anymore?
grapefruit / 4703 posts
@Mrs. Champagne: LOL K'Donda!!!
Kaidence is better than I was expecting, although I'm sort of disappointed. I was hoping for something more like this, of which my favorite is Bluer Ivy: http://www.collegehumor.com/article/6896928/kim-and-kanyes-baby-name-brainstorm

I like the name and spelling. And I can't STAND Kim.lol Kanye is just crazy. I like using his mom's name. My LO's middle name is Rose, after her great greandmother.
grapefruit / 4862 posts
Really like Cadence. Meh about Kadence. Kaidence??? UGH. Kourtney with a K is meh enough. I hate names being spelled differently for no reason!!!! But hey it could have been worse!
bananas / 9357 posts
I think it's ok. Yeah, the spelling is kind of weird but I'm glad they didn't pick something too out there. @Mrs. Champagne: LOL at K'Donda!

The name's okay but I HATE the spelling. Meh about Donda, too, but I like honoring his late mother.

@Shutterbug: hahahah. "Description or name?" "Both."
Lol
I don't mind the name Cadence but don't like Kaidence.
cantaloupe / 6669 posts
I like it for them. Cadence makes sense because of his musical background, and I expected Kim to do the K. I think adding the "i" in there is a bit much though. And I think its sweet that they named her after his mom.
I'm just glad its a "celebrity" name and not OUR name!
