This is so incredibly moving. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have given their newborn son the middle name Robert to honor Kim’s late father, Robert Kardashian, HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY. Can you believe it?

No, you’re crying! Kim Kardashian, 35, gave birth to her second child, a son, on Saturday, December 5, and gave him a very special middle name. Kim and husband Kanye West, 38, have decided that their child’s middle name will be Robert, after Kim’s father, the late Robert Kardashian, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Kim’s spoken in depth about her love and deep admiration for her father, and now that legacy will live on in another generation!

Kim and Kanye haven’t revealed what they named their son just yet — he’s only a few hours old, after all! But a source has EXCLUSIVELY revealed to us the baby’s middle name! By giving him the middle name Robert, they’re making sure that Kim’s father has a special place in their child’s heart, even if he never had the chance to meet his grandfather. This is so beautiful!

Plus, Kim’s brother, Rob Kardashian, was also named for their father. So little baby West has a sweet connection to his uncle, who will surely be doting on his nephew, just as he was with all his sisters’ other children. Maybe the arrival of Kim’s second child will be the catalyst to finally get Rob to come out of hiding; he’ll join his family in this joyous celebration — how could he resist seeing such a sweet little face with his same name?

We’re dying to know what Kim and Kanye picked for baby West’s first name! We’ve been running the possibilities through our minds, and it really could be anything. They’re obviously fond of creative choices when it comes to picking something out. Will they go matchy-matchy with daughter North West and pick a direction?
