The world of baby names is evolving rapidly, with parents now looking for unique and personalized monikers for their children. Influencers like Nara Smith and Francesca Farago are sharing their favorite unconventional names on TikTok, sparking a new trend in baby naming.
Gone are the days of traditional names like John and Mary. Now, parents are opting for names like Tank, Clementine, Heart, and Ethereal. The recent TikTok trend of “normalizing naming your kid after something you love” has taken off, with users suggesting names like Diet Coke and Velveeta.
Emily Kim, a baby name consultant, has seen firsthand how extreme baby naming has become. She helps clients find names that are unique but not too out there, ensuring their child stands out without being one of five in the class with the same name.
Morgan Kline, another baby name consultant, specializes in finding uncommon names that have been used less than 25 times in a year. She believes that personal branding plays a significant role in selecting a baby name, especially for those in the public eye.
As the trend of unique baby names continues to grow, even joke names like “Mocha” could become a reality for some parents. The world of baby naming is changing, and parents are embracing the opportunity to give their children names that reflect their individuality and personal style.
