Although it’s hard to think of Kim Kardashian‘s older daughter with any name other than North, the SKIMS co-founder is sharing that she almost went by a different moniker.
During her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast on Wednesday, Oct. 15, Kardashian shared that when her daughter North, now 12, was first born, her ex-husband Kanye West had a couple of other names in mind for their eldest.
“So when North was born, Kanye wanted to name her Noreaga,” the All’s Fair star told host Alex Cooper. “And so then we went with, like, Noreaga, Norie, North.”

“Or he wanted to name her his mom’s name, Donda, and we considered that. But I’m a big believer in, like, your own name,” she continued. “And so you’re not having to live up to a standard of what someone thought they wanted you to be or like, pushing you into someone who you’re not.”
“So I really wanted her to have her own name,” the mogul concluded.
Kardashian shares her daughters, North and Chicago, 7, as well as sons Psalm, 6, and Saint, 9, with her ex-husband.
In September, the 44-year-old appeared on Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon 3” livestream and weighed in on a parenting debate, as seen in a video posted to X. The mom of four revealed that she’s not a fan of homework.
“I don’t believe in homework,” Kardashian said. “But I’m going to tell you why. Kids are in school for eight hours a day.”
“When they come home, they need to also — they do sports, have a life, spend time with their family. I think that homework should be left for in school,” she continued.
At the end of August, Kardashian and her daughter North had a matching moment in all-black looks as they spent an evening out in Rome, Italy.
The mother-daughter duo stepped out together wearing all-black outfits on Aug. 22. Kardashian wore a black bodycon silk dress while North wore a black corset, a skirt and knee-high boots, standing taller than her mom. The tween’s electric blue hair was styled in two ponytails down to her waist.
In a TikTok, posted on the mother-daughter duo’s joint account, the pair showed off their outfits as they danced to Destroy Lonely’s “If Looks Could Kill.”
