"  Even as the Internet mercilessly mocks the name of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West&amp;#039;s brand-new spawn, North West, it&amp;#039;s being defended by three VIPs: Kimye, obviously, and Kris Jenner, who appeared on post-menopausal swamp The View to defend her daughter and son-in-law&amp;#039;s... eccentric choice of baby name. (At least it&amp;#039;s not as bad as &amp;quot;Anal.&amp;quot;) According to Us Weekly, grand dame Barbara Walters voiced her skepticism about the name by asking Kris if she would have preferred a K. (Not that Kanye would have obliged \u2014 he&amp;#039;s a rule breaker by nature.) &amp;quot;[And] do you really want your grandchild to be named North West?&amp;quot; Kris really, really does. She told Babs: &amp;quot;I love the name North. I&amp;#039;m pro-North, absolutely. The way [Kim] explained it to me, North means highest power, and North is their highest point together. I thought that was really sweet.&amp;quot;  She added that most people don&amp;#039;t run around calling each other by their full name, and the kid&amp;#039;s going to go by Nori. You know! Like seaweed! I predict this baby will have a Twitter and a publicist by the time she is six months old. Follow Anna on Twitter. Images via Getty "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
