Keeping up with the Kardashians has never been tougher as the baby boom caused quite a stir in the media since late last year. Kim, Khloe, and Kylie have all welcomed baby girls into the world within just a few months of each other.

Her name really inspired me."
A source told The Sun, "Kylie’s been dreaming up baby names for around two years. A new make-up range was already in the planning when she found out she was pregnant.
