Kim Kardashian West is saying nay to Ye … she’s not following Kanye West’s lead in the name change department.

Reports say Kim feels it’s important for her to keep the same last name as her 4 children … and there are no plans to change North, Psalm, Chicago and Saint’s last names, either.

While Kim’s not following Kanye’s lead, we’re told she fully supports his desire to go by “Ye” … he’s been known as Ye for years, and we’re told Kim thinks people will still recognize him as Kanye West, even though he’s changing his legal moniker.
