The birth of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's third child sparked two big questions from their respective fans: What does the baby girl look like? And what will her name be?

The latter question has resulted in countless predictions that ranged from traditional names—like Janet—to more unique names such as Wild or Charm. The couple hasn't revealed what they decided to name the newborn; however, there is one suggestion that seems to really resonate with Kanye.

Shortly after 'Ye arrived at his office in Calabasas on Wednesday, TMZ asked the smiling rapper if he had decided on a name. Kanye told the paparazzi the family was still brainstorming, which prompted the cameraman to suggest “Donda,” the name of Ye’s late mother.

“That’s fire,” he responded.

You can check out the full exchange at TMZ.

During an appearance on Ellen last year, Kim outlined specific guidelines she set for herself when it came to deciding the baby’s name.

“It's so hard,” she admitted. “I do like different names, but short, easy to spell, one syllable. That's kind of my vibe.”

With those kinds of rules, the possibilities are endless. 

And as for what the baby looks like? Well, it seems we’ll have to a wait awhile before we get our first glimpse. Kanye and Kim have reportedly turned down million-dollar offers from various outlets that want to post the first photos of the child. TMZreports the couple will not show the baby until her safety is secured.
