I heard it was kaidence but they planned on calling her kai (pronounced ky).
Apparently kanye thinks a name is actually a brand and "kai west" has a good brand image.
Whatever.

@zippylef: maybe they do plan on pronouncing it that way. That explains the "kai" nickname.

I've heard three rumored names now. I do prefer the rumors with his mom's name in the middle. Combined with the (awful) K tradition, I like that there's a little of each family. Kai West is pretty bad though. It sounds like a mispronunciation of Key West.

I like the name Cadence, but I really hate the spelling with a K. Ick.
Otherwise, it's a good name, but if they pronounce it Ky-dence, I'll be sad and have to change my status on it.

I hate the Kardashians and I hate Kanye even more. Therefore, I hate the name choice, too. But if anything, the middle name has significance so I'll give a 30% approval only. And that's being generous.

I like the name but not the spelling. I have a friend who has a DD named kaydence. I like that spelling better. It's a pretty name. It's pretty much ruined now.

At least it isn't Apple or Blanket or some other stupid name that isn't a name.

@lawbee11: didn't expect much either...
it isn't great..I see the many references. Dona, his mother, and I like that they did a musical reference (cadence) and I guess I expected the "K" reference.

I actually really like it! I do have a soft spot for the K fam though
I was expecting a name that was more out there like Blue Ivy.

If that is the baby's name, I totally called the middle name, haha. I think it's a sweet tribute to his mom. I don't love Kaidence, though...But it's better than Easton West, which they were rumored to be considering back before they knew the sex (for the record, I don't mind Easton but with West? No.)

@.twist.: ha, I secretly dig Apple. My taste is far too classic to actually use it, especially as a first. But I get its appeal!
pineapple / 12802 posts
@rattles: haha Apple isn't the worst one, but it was the only weird one I could think of off the top of my head when I wrote the post! LOL. I was trying to think of some of the more bizarre ones, but my mind was a blank. I honestly expected something really random and terrible from her, but I honestly think a lot of other celebrities have done way worse!

I actually like the name Cadence but I'm not a fan of their spelling.

@MrsSCB: hahahaha... well, besides the fact that that name made me seriously LOL, I'm mostly wondering if that is possibly a real name....

@.twist.: yup, it's Jason Lee's son! His daughter is Casper. We do not share taste in names...
pineapple / 12802 posts
@rattles: *cries* I always liked Jason Lee!!!!!! This brought him down a notch!

@rattles: @MrsSCB: UM, I just read that that name was "inspired" (if that is even the right word...) by a song called "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot". WTF.

@.twist.: Yeah I think he may have been high for the birth or something...that's the only explanation, haha.

My cousin's daughter's name is Cadence, which has grown on me. I don't like Kim's spelling though.

This is a very Utah name, especially the spelling. Don't love. Can anyone tell me why this chick is famous aside from being famous for being famous. I don't get it.

@Dandelion: Good call. I suppose we have to evaluate them on different scales.

I really don't like Kim or Kanye as people (well, the people they portray themselves to be in the media), but it's not *that* bad. That being said, I'm not thrilled with the name, nor is it anything I would choose, but it's better than some of the more out-there options I figured they would consider.

@winniebee: I thought that was Paris? Does everyone have a sex tape these days? Gross!

I just feel like it could've been SO MUCH WORSE. I was expecting Kyranduh or Kamasyian. Something just awful.
eggplant / 11824 posts
@Mrs. Jacks: yeah, I'm pretty sure anyone looking to ride their family name to fame is required to also make a sex tape these days. If you don't have any actual talent or shame but do have a famous name, porn is apparently the way to go!

It's ok. Glad my lo isn't Cadence/Kaydence/any other spelling.

An IRL friend and at least one of our HB members have LO's with the traditional spellings of this name. I think it's a lovely name when the traditional spellings/pronunciation are used!

Apparently there is also speculation the name could be Klementine Star due to a recent web domain purchase (a la Blue Ivy Carter).
