During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in the US she was asked about baby names and said she had been googling Armenian boys' names but couldn't really find anything.
She then added: "I was truthfully thinking about just naming him Rob, my brother Rob, but then it's like, North, Saint, Chicago, Rob - it doesn't really go."
"Rob would have been a more normal name but all other three siblings have special names," naming expert Marc Hauser tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
His thoughts on Psalm: [Huge pause] "It's short...but it's nice."
"The problem comes when it comes to mean something from the Bible. A first name shouldn't be a statement in religious terms," he adds.
The name Psalm is of Hebrew origin meaning a sacred song or hymn.
"In an international environment religion should be something private as it could have an adverse affect," Marc adds.
"You could meet anyone of any religion. If your name is Jesus or Muhammad - I'm not sure a religious statement should be the first statement you make."
"North is north for everyone, no matter what religion," says naming expert Marc Hauser
"I like North best. Geographical names are perfect. It's a good meaning, helps you navigate in your life and fits well with their surname.
"But Psalm doesn't feel such a perfect fit. It takes a lot of courage to invent a new name. They've made some good choices but perhaps not in this case."
They could've used Marc's services to invent a totally new name.
He charges £22,000 and spends up to eight weeks with a "team of international namers" checking in 12 most spoken languages.
Naming expert Marc thinks a religious first name could have an "adverse affect"
