Kylie Jenner revealed the unusual name of her newborn daughter last night to just about everyone's surprise.
Fans and pundits alike began circling rumours over what the baby girl's name would be and many were certain that Kylie and Travis Scott would name their firstborn Butterfly - or the Spanish for butterfly Mariposa - after the matching tattoos they share.
But in a delightful twist, Kylie announced her daughter would have the completely unique name Stormi.
It's such a rare moniker that there's much dispute about the real meaning behind it on baby name websites.
So what does Stormi mean?
'Stormi' is an alternative spelling of the Greenlandic 'Storme,' or the English 'Stormy', according to Behind The Name .
Both words come from the Old English word, 'storm,' and the Old Norse origin, 'Stormr.'
So taking the literal dictionary meaning, 'storm,' could mean " a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow".
But, knowing Kylie and her controversial family, the second meaning is more apt...
"A tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy."
Well, that's certainly what the baby has caused already.
How unusual is Stormi?
The name was first registered in the United States in 1975 and it’s reported there are over 6,000 children named Stormi in the world.
What does the name say about her future life?
One baby name blog says the name means the child is a “free hearted spirit who cares about all”.
It adds: “Stormi trusts only a few and has the biggest heart.”
Another claims the name Stormi is given to those who “attract money” and someone who brings “love in life”.
Rumours have been flying all week as to what she'd named her first born, with everything from Posie to Mariposa being bandied about.
But the reality star put everyone out of their misery by confirming that her daughter isn't named after a bunch of flowers.
And unlike her mum Kris Jenner's penchant for giving her kids names that start with a 'K', Kylie hasn't gone down that route either.
Sharing a shot of her holding the bub's hand, Kylie captioned it 'Stormi'.
And fans were loving her work - and the shot of her newborn's tiny hand curled around her thumb.
"AHHHHHH I'M LITERALLY SCREAMING" gushed one of the pic, which earned more than one million likes in the space of 40 minutes.
"Omg I just realized how small she must be! Awe congrats!!!" commented another.
Earlier today everyone thought that Khloe Kardashian had given the game away.
The 33-year old, who is also expecting with her NBA star squeeze Tristan Thompson, sent a beautiful bouquet of pink, purple and creamy roses to her youngest sister after she gave birth to a daughter on February 1.
And the bouquet was shaped as a letter 'C', leading some to believe Kylie had scrapped the idea of giving her daughter a 'K' name in the tradition of her mum, Kris Jenner.
Other fans believed the baby girl's name could be Mariposa Jenner - the Spanish word for butterfly.
The Butterflies play a big role in Kylie and Travis' relationship - they each have tiny matching tattoos of the insects on their ankles, and rapper Travis released a song called Butterfly Effect in May last year.
Kylie's makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics, even released a brand new lipkit called Posie K on February 1 - the same day her little girl was born.
