Kourtney Kardashian reveals her baby's royal name

The Kardashians are reality TV royalty, so perhaps it's only fitting that Kourtney Kardashian and her partner Scott Disick gave their new baby boy a name fit for a king.

One week after welcoming baby #3, Kourtney took to Instagram on Sunday to share a first - of many, no doubt - photo of the family's new addition. The 35-year-old, who is already mom to Mason Dash, 5, and Penelope Scotland, 2, posted a sweet shot of her newborn son's tiny hand in hers. She also shared his name with her 12 million followers, writing, "Madly in love with my little Reign Aston Disick."

Reign Aston? No doubt Scott - aka "Lord Disick" - was routing for this particular moniker, but I have to admit that its royal appeal is lost on me. I love the couple's first two baby names: Mason ranks #4 on BabyCenter's annual list, while Penelope has been steadily rising through the ranks. Neither of those popular picks would ever be included on the long lineup of Hollywood's "unique" baby names. Reign Aston, though, will likely join his cousin North West on that infamous ranking.

I may not love Kourtney's latest baby name pick, but I do admire her confident, hands-on approach to parenting. Since the birth of her first son Mason - who shares a December 14th birthday with his new baby brother - she has been an outspoken advocate for attachment parenting practices such as co-sleeping and extended breastfeeding. Even though the rest of her family thinks she's "insane," the oldest of the Kardashian sisters recently revealed that she plans on sticking to that path with her third child.

“I love doing everything myself at the beginning,” Kourtney recently told Fit Pregnancy magazine. “I’m not getting a baby nurse. I take two months off and no one is allowed to bother me or talk to me about anything work-related — or maybe three months this time.”

We can't wait for our first real glimpse of little Reign. In the meantime... what do you think of Kourtney and Scott's baby name pick?
