Kourtney Kardashian gave birth to a baby boy very early Monday morning (today). She and her her boyfriend Scott Disick named the baby Mason Dash Disick. Let’s talk about the name, shall we? First of all, the baby will be known as Mason Disick. It sounds like Mason Dixon, if you have a speech impediment. People will be making Mason Dixon jokes all of this kid’s life. Second point about the name – “Dash” is the name of the Kardashian’s boutique store, as well as the nickname for anyone named Kar-DASH-ian. So, on one side it’s a cute homage to his mom’s maiden name, but on the other side, Kourtney just branded her baby like he was a sweater. Gah!
Kourtney Kardashian welcomed her first child with boyfriend Scott Disick early Monday morning, E! News and Life & Style jointly report.
“Kourtney just delivered a healthy baby boy about an hour ago,” her publicist said.
Mason Dash Disick (yes, the middle name is the same as the family’s boutique) arrived at an L.A.-area hospital, tipping the scales at 7 pounds, 6 ounces, and measuring 19.5 inches.
“A boy is definitely needed in this family!” Kourtney told E! News in October. “Scott and I are thrilled to add a little boy to the bunch.”
But the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has always had a lot of women in her life who love her—the same ones who showered her with baby gifts last month at Kris and Bruce Jenner’s house in Calabasas.
Kourtney was “due any minute!” sisters Kim and Khloé reported to Ryan Seacrest last Thursday.
And while they’ve always been two of Kourtney’s biggest fans, Kim and Khloé agreed that their big sis has done a complete turnaround, as far as getting ready to be a mom is concerned.
“Kourtney didn’t even like kids,” remarked Kim. I never thought she’d ever want to have a baby.” But now, she added, “I think Kourt’s going to be the most amazing mom.”

CB wanted me to mention two more points: first, Kourtney is dumb as a rock, and two, Khloe is really, really mean to her sister. The first story comes from an interview Kim, Khloe and Kourtney did with Rachel Ray last week, where Khloe said “Kourtney was like, ‘I’m so excited. I don’t have to cook for five years!’ And I go, ‘What do you mean?’ She’s like, ‘I’m gonna breast feed.’ I go, ‘For five years?’ She has, like, no idea!” That was the “Kourtney is dumb as a rock” part. Also note this – Kim chimed in to say that Kourtney has never understood how to look after children and that Kourtney “wasn’t that nurturing.” There was also a story Kim told about Kourtney thinking her water broke because some fluid came down her leg. Kim was laughing about it, but I can see it as an honest mistake – if you’ve never felt your water break, how would you know?
In any case, I’m happy for Kourtney and Scott, and I offer my congratulations on their little branded Dash baby. Let’s all say a little prayer for Mason Dixon, okay? He’s going to need it.
