One of many replies stated: “Pollokshaws West oh my days those poor kids lol.”

Another said: “@KimKardashian please don’t call the baby Pollokshaws. Pollokshaws West is a train station in Glasgow and its not nice.”#

Others took a different view, with one saying: “I wish this was true more than anything in the world, actual wheezing at the the thought of a wee guy named Pollokshaws West cutting aboot in the world.”

So, maybe Pollokshaws West wouldn’t be too bad after all ...
