The name of Kanye West's new baby is apparently unlawful in New Zealand.

The rapper and wife Kim Kardashian welcomed their second child Saint West into the world on December 5.

However, the New Zealand Herald report that the boy's name would be illegal in the country due to its religious nature.

They say other names such as Messiah, Christ and Lucifer are against the law there.

West and Kardashian had their first child North in 2013.

The rapper meanwhile said earlier this year that he felt some people rejected him after he got close to a reality TV star.

West admitted: "[As] soon as we started dating, fashion people were really opposed to the idea of reality stars. And all the relationships, the somewhat friends that I had somewhat built up, completely turned their backs on her and me.

"They already had their back to her, and now they turned it to me."
