Updated on 9/5/2014 at 8:47 AM

When it comes to baby names, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West trust the opinion of the fashion world's most influential person — Anna Wintour. In addition to baring her killer body, Kim also revealed insight into the naming process from her daughter, North West, in the October issue of British GQ. She let slip that she and Kanye weren't actually considering the name "North West" when it popped up in the press while the reality star was still expecting, but when she got approached by both Anna and Pharrell Williams about the name, she and Kanye decided it would be a good fit. Keep reading to hear how Kim tells the naming story and also hear what she has to say about making a sex tape with her husband.

On the possibility of making a sex tape with Kanye: "My husband Kanye and I have an amazing sex life. So far as the sex tape is concerned, whether or not we’ve made another . . . If we have, it’s never something I want to go public. I never want to make the same mistake twice."
On picking North's name: "It was a rumor in the press and we’d never really considered it seriously. But Kanye and I were having lunch . . . and Pharrell came over to us and said, ‘Oh my God, are you guys really going to call your daughter North? That is the best name.' Then a little while later Anna Wintour came over and asked the same thing. She told us: ‘North is a genius name.' Kanye and I looked at one another and just laughed. I guess at that point it sort of stuck."

On President Barack Obama criticizing her and Kanye's influence: "I don’t think it’s very appropriate for the president of the United States to be commenting on pop culture . . . I mean, calling people ‘jack*ss’? I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion — even him. I was just like, ‘Why is he even commenting on this?' OK, sure, just the fact that the president of the United States even knows who I am, and is talking about whether his kids watch our show, is pretty cool."
