Kim Kardashian reportedly wants to name her baby Liv.

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West and friends say she has loved the moniker since she was a teenage admirer of actress Liv Tyler - plus one of her favourite Miami nightspots also has the name.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: 'Kim has liked Liv since she was a teenager, as she was a big fan of Liv Tyler.

'She fell in love with it all over again when she started hanging out at the club on her visits to South Beach.'

The 32-year-old beauty - who is believed to be around three months pregnant - is said to be convinced she is expecting a baby girl.

The source added: 'Kim's instincts tell her she is going to have a daughter.'

Meanwhile, Kim's friend Ryan Seacrest - who is executive producer of her family's reality shows - insists he won't be present at the birth.

He told TV talk show host Jay Leno: 'I was thrilled! I was very happy for them [when I found out].

'Am I going to be in the room, with the zoom lens, shooting all of this to put on the air on E!? I would not.'

However, the 'American Idol' host confirmed the socialite's pregnancy will be a part of the show.

He added: 'You will see her pregnancy on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' but she'll be about four and a half months in to her pregnancy once we start shooting for next season.'
