Kardashians Reveal Secrets Behind North West's Name.

family is opening up about the unique
moniker. On Wednesday (June 26), 

Kim's little brother, Rob Kardashian, called into
Ryan Seacrest's radio show where he dished
on his new niece and her headline-making
name. "When it comes to babies and stuff
like that, I like to give the person all their
time with their significant other. Let them
enjoy their moment. 

I'm happy the baby is healthy and my sister is healthy," he said, adding that he thinks that her name "sounds cool.""[And] North is the highest point, so it has a lot of meaning to it. 

As long as they're comfortable with it, you can't tell them what to do," he shared, further adding, "I told Kim and Kanye this, I'm like, 'Yo, people are always going to talk whether it's good or bad. There's always going to be the haters, but do what you guys feel.' Like, you know everyone's going to say, 'Oh, you're coming up with some weird celebrity, crazy name.' I'm like, 'You know how it is.' 

Rob isn't the only Kardashian who isexcited by their latest addition to the very large Kardashian family. Momager Kris jenner stopped by "The View" on Tuesday,where she too confirmed the origins of her granddaughter's name."I love the name
North. I'm pro-North, absolutely.


A special wish for xan (alexander moses)

Have you ever wondered how 30 seconds of your time, and not a single dime of your money, could help change someone's life?
Meet 6-year-old Alexander Moses -- or , as his brothers call him, "Xan."
"I know time is running out for me," Moses said. "I know it in my gut. I see it. I'm watching it happen."

The family now lives at the Ronald McDonald House, where every day, a rare neurodegenerative disease takes another part of Xan away. He has had surgeries,
scans and genetic testing. All his doctors know is that the boy's brain is degenerating, but no one knows why. Online support helps keep the pain bearable. Xan's biggest wish is to get 1 million Facebook fans, and to
read the sweet well-wishes of strangers who manage
to take his mind off the pain ravaging his body.

One million is a big number, but the little boy is confident. "I think I can do it," Xan said. As of 3 p.m. Friday, his page had almost 40,000 likes.
As Moses watches her son slip away, there's little that the young single mother can do, and even less that she can say.
"I love him the very best that I can, with all that Ihave," she said. "Every minute that I have him, I 'snuggle bug' with him at night. He cuddles up next to me and holds me and puts his arms around me and talks about what's going on with him, and I soak it up.
"I want him to know that he's made me a better person, that he changed my whole life just by being in it."
