Kylie Jenner Named Her Kid “Stormi” & the Internet Can’t Handle It

By Lia McGarrigle in Lifestyle

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott welcomed a baby girl on February 1, revealing yesterday on Instagram that they chose to give her the name “Stormi.”

After 9 months of relative silence from the star, fans were quick to share their opinions on the unconventional name. Of course, there were lots of weather jokes, with most of them tying in the rest of the Kardashian Jenner family’s names that include “Reign,” “North,” and “Chicago.”

Many were also disappointed that the elaborate fan theory that said Kylie would name her child Butterfly or Mariposa as a nod to Travis Scott turned out not to be true, though obviously, some Twitter users are still living in hope.

why are the Kardashian babies sounding like a weather forecast: it’s Stormi in North Chicago with a little bit of Reign

Hey PENELOPE, It’s a little STORMI NORTH of the MASON dixon. A lot of REIGN will soon be rolling into CHICAGO. Not really living the DREAM but I wouldn’t be a SAINT if I didn’t warn you about the baby on the way!

Stormi is cool but North West has the coldest name of all time.

Kylie's disappearance from the media for the last 9 months was the calm before the stormi lol

Need Khloe to name her baby “sunni” just for this:

Penelope the weather forecaster : Tune in tomorrow morning when I will tell you if it is Stormi in North Chicago or Sunni with a chance of Reign. Until then , sweet Dreams.

Hey people of CHICAGO – if your ceiling leaks you might want to put out some MASON jars to catch the REIGN because it's going to get STORMI up NORTH! This one is crazy! This is a meteorologist's DREAM! Pray to SAINT PENELOPE for safety.

Everyone: Kylie will call her baby Posie short for Mariposa as it’s the Spanish for butterfly as Travis Sc

“Stormi” is short for Storm. A storm can be caused by a minute localized change in a complex system. That’s known as the butterfly effect. Butterfly in Spanish is Mariposa…

While others shared some non-weather related references for the name

kylie disappeared for 9 months bc that was the calm before the stormi

Like I'm honestly just very underwhelmed with Stormi & after the care with which she named each of her lipsticks I expected better
