Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Name Daughter Kaidence Donda

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly named their newborn baby girl Kaidence Donda, according to a nurse present during the birth at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, reported U.K. newspaper The Independent.

Pronounced like the musical term cadence, the name has been altered to begin with a “K” – a Kardashian tradition. The baby’s middle name, Donda, is believed to be in homage of West’s late mother Donda West, who died from complications that arose after undergoing plastic surgery in 2007.

Kardashian gave birth to her and West’s first child almost a month prior to the expected due date. After the delivery, Kaidence was placed in an incubator to regulate her temperature, reported People magazine. The premature birth may have been due to Kardashian’s alleged struggle with preeclampsia, which causes severe high blood pressure that can lead to early births.

“I can not even begin 2describe the miracle that is now a part of our family. Mommy/baby are healthy &resting. We appreciate all of the love,” Kim’s sister Khloe Kardasian tweeted after the news broke. “More info will come when the time is right!” she continued. “Thank you all for understanding! We love you all dearly! Overwhelmed with love right now.”

Previous reports suggested that Kimye’s daughter had been named Kai Georgia Donda West. While neither parent has confirmed the baby’s name, Kardashian revealed prior to the birth that her daughter would have a “K” name like herself, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall and Kris — and Kanye.
