Everyone was pretty shocked when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would be naming their little bundle of joy North West. Most thought it was a joke or just clowned them but now that the little goddess is a year and a half old, her name rolls off tongues like any other Ashley or Sophia. Lots of people wondered if the name actually had a hidden deep meaning (seeing how her dad IS Kanye West), or maybe the couple first met on North West Airlines.

Actually neither are factual. In a recent interview GQ’s Woman Of The Year told them in an interview that North West received her famous name because of Pharrell Williams and Anna Wintour!

Kim told GQ,

“It was a rumor in the press and we’d never really considered it seriously, at all, but Kanye and I were having lunch right over there at that table about a year ago and Pharrell Williams came over to us and said ‘Oh, my God, are you guys really going to call your daughter North? That is the best name.’ I said ‘No we’re not, that’s just a rumor,’”
“Then a little while later Anna Wintour came over and asked the same thing. She told us ‘North is a genius name.’ Kanye and I looked at one another and just laughed. I guess at that point it sort of stuck,”

Kim also told the magazine that her and Kanye West decided on the name of baby North at the Mercer Hotel in New York City. “I remember this is actually where we decided, finally, on North as a name for our baby girl.”
