(CNN) World, meet Saint West.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her rapper husband, Kanye West, have named their infant son, who was born Saturday -- several weeks before Kim's due date.

Kim announced the name Monday afternoon in a tweet that said only, "SAINT WEST," along with emojis representing all four members of the growing Kimye clan.

Even by the eccentric standards of celebrity child names, Saint West was already raising virtual eyebrows on Twitter for its uniqueness and virtuous connotations. While some hailed the name, other jokesters were wondering aloud whether the famous couple are prematurely canonizing their child.
