Jaws dropped when Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple.

We don’t care how “genius” Anna Wintour thinks the name North West is, it’s still a direction to us!

Momager Kris Jenner came to her daughter’s defense and explained the choice on HuffPost Live. “She said ‘North is the highest power,’ and their baby North … is the highest point and power between the two of them, so I thought that was really cool.”

The name Blue Ivy caused backlash as fans wondered why Beyonce and Jay-Z would name their daughter after a color. But after fans speculated why the superstars opted for Blue, it was much more accepted!
