The rapper, 35, came up with a list of potential names for the baby — due in July — but North is at the top because he thinks it sounds good with his surname.
He sounded out pals about the moniker last month while working in Paris during fashion week.
But the title is unlikely to go down well with girlfriend Kim, 32, whose family have a tradition of starting their first names with a K.
The reality star might also have a problem with her boyfriend’s next album title — I Am God.
He is toying with the idea while he records new material. A source said: “Kanye’s ego is something else, so he’s quite serious about the title.
“He also has a sense of humour though and knows how his self-indulgence is seen by the general public. It’s half tongue-in-cheek, half what Kanye probably feels is true.”
It is not the first time his ego has surfaced recently. In December, the rapper complained onstage about the Grammys for failing to nominate his Watch The Throne or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy releases for Album Of The Year.
