Many believe that Kylie Jenner’s child has taken the prize for the most shocking name.

But it seems Nick Cannon and LaNisha Cole’s child might have just stolen the top spot.

Cannon took to Instagram on Thursday, writing: “Once again Today I am in Awe of the Devine Feminine! God has given me and @MissLanishaCole the privilege of hosting an Angel here on earth. I vow to protect, provide, guide, and love this child to the best of my abilities.

“In this moment of celebration and jubilee, I wish to mute any low vibrational frequencies and only rejoice with the Highest Class of Civilization who are truly aligned with our purpose here in this dimension. We all learn so much from these Angels we call children. I am learning that it is not the limited amount of time we have on this planet but it’s the limited amount of love that is the issue.

“And I promise to love this little girl with all my heart, regardless what anyone says… I’ve given up on attempting to define myself for the world or society but instead I’m doing the work to heal and grow into the infinite Being God ordained me to be. Hopefully I can teach Onyx the same, to not let others shame or ridicule her with their outside opinions, because when they do they are only projecting their own harsh experiences, pain and social programming onto her unblemished beauty.”

Cannon continued: “As we all know I am not easily triggered and have quite tough skin and have always been an open book but not everyone in my family has that same level of strength. So I pray and ask others to please project all criticism and cynicism towards ME and not the loving and precious mothers of my children.”

He added that Cole is “one of the most guileless, peaceful and non-confrontational kind souls” he has met, saying she “only deserves to revel in this moment of blissful joy of motherhood.”

People have shared their opinion of the name online…

One fan wrote: “This baby’s name though… This child will take no s***.”

While another called it an “ugly a** name.”

Cannon revealed in his Instagram post that they named their baby girl “ONYX ICE COLE CANNON.”

She is officially Cannon’s 9th child, with number 10 already on the way.
