North West, South West, East West, Wild West–all of these names have been stirring around when it comes to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

But rumor has it that the hot celebrity couple plans on going a different direction when it comes to naming their second child: “God Yeezus West.” You have got to be kidding me.

I get that we live in a free country where people can mostly do what they want, but this is a little outrageous. Having this baby named “God Yeezus” will start nothing but a big controversy.

I sometimes wonder if celebrities think before they name their child. Over the decades, we have had some crazy celebrity baby names, but this one is by far the worst I have ever heard. In an interview, Kayne said, “We decided to go with God because we believe God is the highest power, the creator of everything like mankind, science. Like North, we wanted our son to have a powerful name.”

Although Kanye may think he is doing right by picking this name, I do not think he truly realizes how much backlash and criticism they will get as well as their child, who very well may suffer severe criticism his whole life. It is extremely offensive. Some people take their religion very seriously, and for them to just throw out that name for their child without a second thought will not settle well at all.

Today especially, people put celebrities on a pedestal. They think that just because they are famous, they have earned some automatic level of respect to do whatever they please. In my opinion, this all needs to stop right now. Kim and Kanye, you are both just out of line this time.

Kim is expected to have her baby boy at the end of this year, so hopefully this is nothing but a crazy, bizarre rumor. If not, I do not want to be around to hear how this will play out.

Bottom line–sorry Kim and Kanye–but when it comes to naming your child, you are so wrong on this one.
