Kim Kardashian-West has just announced the name of her new son with rapper husband Kanye West via Instagram, with the help of some emojis - and it's not Easton or South like many were predicting.

The couple have named their second baby Saint.

Little information has been released about the baby, but he was born on Saturday (US time) – the same day Kim posted her last Instagram picture of her full-term belly with the caption "ready whenever you are lol [sic]".

Kim tweeted that the baby had been born, but rather than a picture of the new arrival, it was a snap of KimYe holding hands.

If Saint were born in New Zealand, his name would not legally be allowed.

According to New Zealand law and the Department of Internal Affairs, names that would cause offense to a reasonable person, that are 100 characters or more long, that include titles or military rank (such as Saint) or that include punctuation marks or numerals are not allowed.
