Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reveal the name of their newest child: Meet Chicago West

Meet Chicago West!

After much buildup and anticipation, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West went public on Friday with the name of their littlest one. Newborn Chicago, born January 15, joins 2-year-old Saint and 4-year-old North to create a family of five.

Little Chi is their second daughter, and lest there be any confusion, Kim retweeted someone who explained just how to pronounce the name: "And to everyone who thinks it's literally pronounced as CHI. No. It's 'Shy,'" she wrote.

The name holds particular significance for Kanye, who was born in Atlanta but raised in Chicago.

An announcement on Kim's app revealed that Chicago -- Chi for short -- was born at 12:47 AM, weighing 7 lbs 6 oz. Chi was born via surrogate, and Kim has been quite vocal about her appreciation for the woman who carried her baby: "Our gestational carrier gave us the greatest gift one could give," she wrote Thursday.

Next up in the delivery room is expected to be Kylie Jenner, who has yet to officially confirm her pregnancy, and then Khloe Kardashian, who's expecting her own first child.

It's going to be a big year for the Kardashian-Jenners! (But isn't every year?)

Congratulations to Kim and Kanye!
