I kind of forgot that Kourtney Kardashian had her baby a week ago. My bad. And since I forgot about the baby, I also didn’t remember that Kourtney and Scott Disick hadn’t announced the name. Well, Kourtney took care of that on Sunday when she posted the “first photo” of her third child – that’s the header photo, taken off Kourtney’s Instagram. I don’t really have an opinion of parents posting photos of baby fingers/hands, but let’s just not call it the first baby photo, okay? It doesn’t count unless we can see baby-face.
Anyway, Kourtney posted the photo with the message “Madly in love with my little Reign Aston Disick.” Yes, this poor baby’s name is REIGN. REIGN ASTON. I guess “Aston” like Aston-Martin, or Sean Astin. Maye she’s a fan of Goonies? As for Reign… NO. Nope. I’m not even going to pretend that’s a real name. I would have rolled my eyes at “Rain” but at least I would have understood it with that spelling. I literally have no comprehension for why a parent would name their child REIGN. It’s a verb! It’s like naming your kid Jog or Swim. Plus, Reign doesn’t fit with his siblings’ names, Mason and Penelope. It just doesn’t make any sense. But hey, at least it’s not Jermajesty? Honestly, I think Reign is right up there with Jermajesty though.
(PS… I know some semantic nitpickers are probably going to yell at me, so let me just cut you off right here: I know “Reign” is also a noun. But can we all agree that it’s still a stupid name?)

Yes, I think we can all agree that the name is ridiculous… however, considering that crazy family, it may be the least of that poor child’s problems
Yeah.. The very least…
Sean Astin – Astin is his family’s last name. I know because we are related. It was my grandmother’s last name as well. It’s an English last name.
I have loved Sean Astin since I was 12, still do. If he’s in a movie, I’m watching. Happy Holidays!
Can i have a christmas wish? Not so much Kardashian in the new year please?
Try Robert Pattison and his new girlfriend instead, they are seriously cute and kind of interesting together.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2883244/Robert-Pattinson-hands-lips-girlfriend-FKA-twigs-party-Los-Angeles.html
I read an interview with her and she’s soooo pretentious. I do not like her. At least you can laugh at the Kardashians.
If i wanna laugh i watch a Kristen Wiig or Will Ferrell movie. I prefer pretensious and trying to create something of quality to vacuous, pointlessness.
each to their own , i guess…
Vogue just said Twigs is the break through style icon of the year and They the new anti it couple, so the argument is that she/they are culturally relevant in pop culture.
Which is i guess is what this site is trying to cover. Cant just have Cumberbatch and Kardashians posts every day
They are not anti “it”. They sure try to be though.
If I want to read something of substance, I’ll read a post about Chris Rock or Jon Stewart or Elizabeth Banks.
FKA Twighs just comes across as try hard and pretentious. To me, that is. Plus, I don’t like her music and her performances seem to be more about aesthetics than the music itself. She is very beautiful to look at, I’ll give her that.
that was vogue who called them that, not me. You seem like you have a basic dislike for her. That isn’t the point here. They are relevant. This site seems to be a bit heavy on certain people like Kardashians and Cumbernbartch. Would be nice with a broader spectre of people covered. We don’t have to like or approve of every single person, Charlie. Just a bit more diversity.
Of course we don’t need to approve every single person.
You just said they were cute and interesting, and I commented that I find her pretentious. We’re just trading opinions here.
I really don’t find her pretentious. Her early dancing stuff is so cool. She used to work in workshops in London with dancing and her ability to reach into even meek kids was awesome.
Those do not look like a newborn baby’s fingers.
I agree! They look like the fingers of a slightly plump grown woman.
I was thinking the same thing. That can’t be the hand of an infant.
That was my first thought.
I wouldn’t put it past them to photoshop the crap out of a newborn. Ahhhh!
Thought the same thing also.
Seriously! The kid must be huge. I have a 5 month old and her hands are smaller than that.
I think it’s the fingers of a two year old. And what a stupid-@ss name … Reign. Reign over what – his siblings, the servants … peasants??
Agree with the poster above – less Kardashians in 2015 please. We must stop clicking on their posts to vent our rage as it’s only keeping them present on the site.
Say it fast, sounds like Ray Nasty.
Kids are mean, he will get bullied for this bougie name.
Right? I thought they were oddly old fingers
Phew!! I thought it was just me not seeing newborn fingers…
Lil Kim named her daughter Reign didn’t she?
She named her daughter Majesty Reign or something something Reign, as the middle name. I like Scott and he is the Lord…and I think the name is cute. Now if that wasn’t a run on sentence!
She named her daughter Royal Reign. So congrats Kourtney and Scott, you have the same taste as Lil Kim.
Eh, I don’t think it’s that bad. Keep in mind NORTH WEST exists.
Valid point 🙂
It’s bad, but compared to North West yeah…it’s alright. I just find that it really doesn’t fit with Mason and Penelope, though. It’s like Kourtney let Scott name this baby and his ego just ran rampant. 😛
I think North is better than Reign ( which also somehow sounds feminine to me), but paired with West it’s horrible.
Maybe she’s a fan of Slayer’s Reign in Blood album.
First thing I thought of. But I don’t think the Kardashians are metal heads
I think Aston is bad. It starts with ass for goodness sake. At least it’s a middle name.
When I see the surname Disick written, i see & read Dick. I’m not a viewer of the show, but given the angry expression I see on this guy’s face in photographs, i’m fine leaving it there.
Maybe that baby will have a accident on the parent who suggested that name. Hopefully when said parent is wearing a fancy suit or dress.
Scott does all that Lord Disick stuff, so maybe that’s why? Still a dumb name though!
That was my thought as well… like a monarchy reign. Pretty pathetic.
Exactly, this family thinks that they are royalty. Didn’t Kanye say something about Norths name meaning something similar, like the highest point?
It takes time for new baby names to eventually build up cachet.
it does, and while “Aston” may be unfamiliar to me, it still sounds like a proper name, but “Reign?” Reign is a noun & a verb with an existing meaning. I hear incredible out-of-touch arrogance in that choice. It’s like naming your daughter “Princess” or something. It’s weird.
judgmental me.
I don’t mind unusual names, generally, but I cannot stand when the kids names don’t flow. Mason, Penelope & Reign? They sound competely bizarre together.
ETA – By flow, I in no way mean rhymed names, or Duggar-style naming… I just like it when the kids names all have the same feeling to them.
Agreed. The names don’t really flow together and they don’t sound like siblings. I’m always interested in baby names so I always analyze stuff like this.
+2 It sounds bizarre and it’s kind of unfair to the child who is named differently (in a bad way) than their siblings. Kate Winslet’s Mia, Joe and Bear come to mind. Bear Winslet is in a worse situation as he is even further differentiated from his siblings who have normal first names and both carry their father’s last names while his father was dumb enough to change his name to Rock’n’Roll. At least Reign won’t be the dumbest named child in the family. Cousin North West still wins.
Oh, I forgot about KW and her Mr. “Rock’n’Roll.”
Bear could be a lovely nickname for a small child, but imagine meeting a grown man named Bear So&So. Odd to me. Especially in England, no? Perhaps, in KW’s elite circle, that kind of “different” is considered pleasantly eccentric. Is that it?
Bear Grylls?
Whenever someone gets their baby a weird name, I wonder what’s going to happen when they grow up and are applying for a job. Then again, probably not a concern for this family.
I can never read “Disick” correctly. I always mistakenly read it as “Scott Dick” and then have to mentally correct myself.
Lol
@*says-don’t correct yourself-it’s DEFINITELY Scott Dick.
When Michael K from DListed talks about Scott, he often points out that the ‘S’ in Disick is silent (it’s not of course, but it would certainly be appropriate, LOL).
I hear you- I often read it as “DickSick”. How bad of a Freudian slip it that? *shudders*
Hmmm someone is thinking their kid is royalty. He shall Reign over a ton of asses! Also you really shouldn’t use anything with ass in it when your last name has a dick in it. This name just sucks.
How do Mason and Penelope have a sister named Reign? Makes no sense. There’s no cohesion. It’d be like if Michael Jackson named one of his kids Brian.
Reign is a boy. Doesn’t make it any better though.
Oh stop Reigning on their parade. The names not that bad. My goodness his cousin was named after a compass… geez
Another example of idiotic celeb-parents. Poor children, they’ll stand out no matter what. I kind of liked how Kourtney gave her first two normale names, but what the heck is with Reign? This is the same level of idiocy of ‘North’. Give these children normal names, for god’s sake!
Sounds like someone was hopped up on pain killers when they were thinking of this name.
Hahaha, “it’s like naming your kid Jog or Swim.” You crack me up.
I still insist this was all Scott’s doing. He wanted a little Lord Disick with a douchey sports car built right into his name. This family HONESTLY believes they’re American royalty (and I guess it’s not too far off, if that means being famous for the family you belong to, and never doing any actual work except for shopping trips and “appearances”).
Seriously, though. I wonder what tantrum he was threatening to throw if Kourtney didn’t let him handle the paperwork this time around. If baby takes after daddy, we shall call him Reign of Terror.
Okay so the only Kardashian who had any credibility and education just lost it by naming her child a verb. Truly what a ridiculous pompous name for a child whose parents only found fame due to a reality show and only then because his aunt released a sex video where she was peed on and worse. It is just so tacky.
There are worse names in Hollywood. Pilot Inspektor, Apple, Denim, Diezel, Kyd,Satchel, and don’t forget North
Also Audio Science and Moxie Crimefighter.
Also, Nicholas Cage named his son after a Superman character (name doesn’t come to me right away).
Didn’t he name his son after Superman’ s name he had on Krpyton?
Kal-El
Thanks fingerbinger
Tu Morrow, Zuma Nesta Rock, Banjo, Blanket, Sage Moonblood, Speck Wildhorse, Kyd, Mars Merkaba, Diva Thin Muffin
My god, who does Diva Thin Muffin belong to? It sounds like what LeAnn Rimes might name her kid.
Frank Zappa.
So clearly she named Mason and Penelope and she gave the baby naming duties for the third to Scott.
I think Reign is the last child, therefore I guess Kourt and Scott wanted a real attention grabbing name. Imagine informally being called Reigny, (sounds like Rainy), not a nice name at all.
His initials are RAD. I bet they call him Rad.
ETA: nicegirl made this point first below. I need to read comments before I leave one! 🙁
No Jermajesty is the worst name of all time. In my opinion, Reign is not that bad of a name. It’s the middle name I have an issue with because you have Aston and Dissick next to each other, and at a quick glance it looks like a bad word lol.
Ask some teachers or nurses and they will tell you there are some other worse names. We had twins (identical) at the school I taught at and they were called Therese and Therese H. I also had a Antijuan (Antwan for all you who are trying to guess).
I was talking about “celebrity” names. Oh yes trust me I know regular non-famous people give their kids the most effed up names too.
At least his initials spell RAD . . . nickname?
Dang, sorry, nicegirl. I didn’t see your comment.
People are just going to think the name is Rain which is not nearly as majestic sounding. I don’t like Rain either but it’s better than Reign I suppose.
for all it’s worth, Aston is an old English name, it means “noble stone”. And that’s the name of my firstborn who’s 7 now.
I have nothing for Reign though…
Could Reign be the English version of Rainier (think Monaco) ? because in French Rainier sounds like the verb régner which means to reign
Any chance this poor kid won’t be called AssDick in the school yard? Let’s hope he becomes a very clever and handsome jock!
I think Reign was a result of North. Kourtney trying to keep-up with the jonses (Kims). If Reign was born before North his name would have been Cooper.
Damn. I think she ran out of ideas, lol. Mason had ‘Dash’ for her side and Penelope had ‘Scotland’ for Scott and this go round…? Wha…? I don’t hate any of the names but like previous commenters said, he sounds like he’ll “Reign” over ass-tons and d(is)icks. Crazy, but whatever. So again I say, damn. I was hoping for a Geoffrey or an Archer. Oh well.
I worked at a pharmacy a while ago and a lady literally named her son Illkillya. Not a joke. That kid has a predestination.
