Kourtney Kardashian welcomed a baby girl to the world over the weekend, and surprised her British fans with her bizarre choice of baby name.

The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star and her partner Scott Disick have named their baby girl Penelope Scotland!

Penelope Scotland was born weighing 7lbs 14oz and is said to have taken the odd choice of middle name following a suggestion from Kourtney’s grandmother.

Kourtney, 32, told E! News: ‘Scott and I are overjoyed to welcome our precious angel Penelope Scotland Disick into our lives. We are forever blessed. Mommy and baby are resting comfortably.’

Sister Kim Kardashian was also quick to spread the word on her own website. ‘Welcome to the world, Penelope Scotland Disick! Kourtney gave birth to a beautiful baby daughter on Sunday, and the whole family is so thrilled to finally meet her! She is absolutely perfect!’

Penelope Scotland is not the first of Kourtney’s brood to take a quirky baby name. She’ll join two-year-old brother Mason Dash to compete in the stakes of strangest celeb baby names. You can see even more of the best and worst celebrity baby names here.
