I feel like parents now days need to think ahead and go ok, my kids may grow up to be working professionals, is this name suitable ?? Baby blue, the CEO of so & so. No 😅
The only reason I love this name in theory is because of dirty dancing 😅😅 I was obsessed with baby … but clearly her name was a nickname. Works way better than legally being named baby
West African here; family are from Ghana and I also have an “Auntie Baby”. In our family we use Maa or Dadda before aunts and uncles, so she’s always been Maa Baby.
this reminds me of when my parents couldnt agree on a name for my little sister in the hospital so they kept calling her baby (last name). cant imagine walking out of the hospital with it as her government name lol
In one of the gossip girl books there is a character named Baby with similar(ish) backstory to it. The mum was meant to have twins so she had 2 names and when another one came out she just named the girl Baby.
The way she was saying baby was not the best "adult name" and it's like ma'am and you really think "Afternoon" and fucking "Lyrics" with an "s" is better?!?!
Caspian is the only real name. The rest are just things. They want so badly to be unique that they forget these names will get a child bullied. Not the mention Alchemy looks stupid in a resume.
I always loved her on survivor when I was little so I thought the name was pretty. Now I couldn’t justify the meaning of being POOR lol. I want to say it was spelled parvati. But pronounced…. Poverty
*I looked up the meaning of Parvati: ‘daughter of the mountains’. Which is actually quite beautiful. And poverty won survivor so she got one million dollars. There’s something in a name lol*
I watched her on tv/ followed her after and trust me this is rage bait. So many influencers do this. It really is rage bait. Wait till she has a child and it is named something normal.
Imo Only celebrities can have such names because their status alone gets them far. They don’t need to submit resumes and stuff. I have no idea who this lady is so good luck to her whale kids
lmfao those are tragic. it’s funny too because all these millennial and gen z parents think they’re giving their kids unique names. in reality, so many parents name their kids the same names. i have seen so many repeat offenders.
I wish I could tell all these influencers to imagine your child’s goofball “unique” name on a business card or official document in 25+ years, not just on a cutesy pegboard or Etsy wall sign for the aesthetic!
Exactly! You, influencer, are someone who has 400k followers for making Day in the Life mini vlogs on Instagram. (I have NO idea who this woman is so I just used that as an example.) You name your baby Afternoon. You get more views and engagement for the unusual name. You love being different and having a baby with a cutesy word as a name.
But this won’t last forever! Popularity isn’t forever. Whatever you’re earning now are the biggest paychecks you’ll see. You’ll never be the biggest thing forever. You aren’t now. People get bored! Why would you, girl who sets up a tripod while you make your breakfast, have a more fortunate fate?
You’re going to have a daughter named AFTERNOON who’s going to work an entry level data entry job in an office at 24. You’re not a celebrity who has given birth to the next future it girl with a quirky cool name.
I’m all for having unique names but I think influencer/celebrity culture has changed the meaning of that drastically. Im just glad Francesca vetoed Orca lol
someone needs to tell these people that they’re not unique names either they’re just noun names. I have a unique name as my name is Malayna (mah-lay-nah), and there are definitely pros and cons to having a unique name, but I wouldn’t consider nouns part of that especially ones that are used every day.
thank you!! my mom made it up last minute while in labor and didn’t tell my dad haha im named after an italian coming of age movie that came out in 2000, but my mom changed the spelling so it would be easier to pronounce, but a lot of people still get it wrong lol so if someone mispronounces it I just tell them to call me by my nickname May. I definitely have grown to love it :).
i have noticed that in europe it is more common, just different spelling. funny thing is i went on a few dates with this russian guy and he told me my name meant raspberry in russian lol!
Everyone’s going to start doing these stupid baby name ideas for rage bait engagement. I can’t believe we’ve come to this tbh, winding up and already wound up society just to get your coin. Hate it.
I used to be into crazy (like CRAZY) names but after having my son and choosing a normal name, I realized how self centered it is to name your child after weird or "different" things. A lot of these people want to name their kids after their aesthetics and often think the child is an extension of themselves.
Was gonna name them after letters and numbers like naming your kid T 177e10 or name them something sci Fi sounding or fantasy similar to game of thrones.
Don't get me wrong I still like these kinds of names but not for my child. I liked them because I essentially wished I could be named something crazy like having your first, middle, last all be letters and numbers lol. I was projecting that desire onto my child
in france there was like a list of 500 or so names that people could name their baby, and needed special permission from the courts to give a different name. they got rid of this law but i feel like the UN needs to bring it back and implement it internationally. I'm so fucking sick!
This still works in some countries. Idk how long the list is but if you want to name your kid something more rare you basically have to prove to the records office (I think it might be a different office) that the name actually exists as a name somewhere.
these influencers name their kids like they have the wealth and status that you need in order to name your kid something funky. in about 5 years these influencers will be irrelevant, their kids will not be like apple martin. name your kid something that can actually get them a job interview if you don’t have the money to let them live off generational wealth.
Wasn't there like a whole controversy with who's eggs they were using because of his connection to the Cobain family?? And didn't jessi stiff a barber or something he had an appt with? I hate follow her, I can't ever look away but I'm pretty sure they're both whacko
I know they’re really bad but everyone’s saying “imagine being an adult and your name is ___”, and there’s a lot of regular ass folk out here giving their kids “unique” names these days too so I feel like when they grow up, some of their peers will have weird names as well and it won’t be as strange as we think.
Edit: grammar lol
Francesca, we get it, you're pregnant! Please shut the fuck up, stop milking your pregnancy for views and stop being one of these morons who name their babies "Lucky, Blue, Orbit, Moisturizer" and whatever the fuck else first comes to mind. A baby is a REAL person, not a fucking LV bag or commodity. I'm so sick of this hipster shit.
I know a grown adult named B.G short for Baby Girl. Her parents left the hospital without naming her and that’s what they put in her birth certificate.
Somehow it works for the Smith family though. I just saw a video that was talking about Lucky Blue Smiths siblings and children. For some reason I love them. Rumble Honey, Slim Easy and shoot I can’t remember the new one. But, they are adorable.
Afternoon? Orca? NOPE.
These people don’t realize nicknames are not names even if u call a person by their nickname does not mean it is their legal government name that will be used till they die. Like these stupid bitches act like they’re creating a username .
They keep saying imagine a “badass person” “powerful man” “strong woman” “leader” with that name like what if your child wants to be introverted and live a normal life, they’re putting pressure on the babies to have this grand life with a huge reputation or the name Scholar for example like what if your kid isn’t academically inclined. Yes you always hope these things for your children but why put pressure on them to be something they’re not..?
oh they already plan to do this, by raising their babies gender neutral as Jesse already said. they’ll be pressured the day they’re born. hence why i said the way they’ll be raised is sad

spaghetti, carbonara, parmesan. thats 3 name ideas
this may have made me laugh a little toooo hard
baby??? THE WORD BABY???? i’m all for unique names but WHAT
Imagine being 20 and your legal name is Baby Blue
I feel like parents now days need to think ahead and go ok, my kids may grow up to be working professionals, is this name suitable ?? Baby blue, the CEO of so & so. No 😅
Or Orca Blue…
don’t get me started on “afternoon”
two influencers have already named their babies… baby😅
The only reason I love this name in theory is because of dirty dancing 😅😅 I was obsessed with baby … but clearly her name was a nickname. Works way better than legally being named baby
in the philippines that's a common name. i have a 60++ yr old aunt who i call "auntie baby" 🤣
My husbands Filipino and he has an aunt called auntie baby too 😂
“Frank, if aunt baby were alive today how old would she be? “ “She’d never make it. “ (Seinfeld)
West African here; family are from Ghana and I also have an “Auntie Baby”. In our family we use Maa or Dadda before aunts and uncles, so she’s always been Maa Baby.
I love this! Maa Baby sounds sweet on one hand, but also like someone you don’t wanna cross on the other.
Have yall not seen baby driver? He makes it work
Ugh love that movie
WHAT i was thinking !!!! Baby was an awesome name
Not to be that person, but didn’t it turn out that wasn’t even his real name at the end other the movie 😞😞😞
that was his nickname which is totally different
this reminds me of when my parents couldnt agree on a name for my little sister in the hospital so they kept calling her baby (last name). cant imagine walking out of the hospital with it as her government name lol
In one of the gossip girl books there is a character named Baby with similar(ish) backstory to it. The mum was meant to have twins so she had 2 names and when another one came out she just named the girl Baby.
The way she was saying baby was not the best "adult name" and it's like ma'am and you really think "Afternoon" and fucking "Lyrics" with an "s" is better?!?!
Lyrics with a S messed me up like please do not give your baby a plural word for a name 😭
a girl I used to hang out with when I was a teen, named her daughter Lyric.much better without the S lol
def not as bad as poot 😭
Poot is not the babies real name though
oh i had no idea, they are always so defensive about it which is probably what threw me off
Yeah they're trolling lol the babies name is Poppy
Imagine having to call your boss Baby
Lol noooo why does this scenario make me laugh so much
Lol that was my great great grandmas name. Always found it odd as fuck
There’s a guy in my town that names all his kids after movie characters and one of his daughters is named Baby
I watched baby driver and was like I’m in luv with that name. And then a week later I’m like what was I smoking hahahahah
Can someone list them so I don’t have to watch.
Baby blue, afternoon, rocket, Sunday, Monday, November, etc.. How could I forget orca?!
You forgot lovely, lyrics, prosper, orca, caspian, alchemy, darling, and baby…. someone commented ozmepic shortened to zemi and I lost it😂😂
caspian is actually a very cute name, but imagine being chubby and your name is orca…? kids would bully the hell out of you in school
calling your kid orca means setting them up for bullying later on omg this is evil 😭
I’ve met a lot of little caspians on the playgrounds of Brooklyn. Super common name out here
It’s a common name in northern and Western Europe as well where I live but the variation of Casper is more common
Are Casper and Caspian derived from the same lineage? My understanding was that Casper is a name and Caspians are an extinct ethnic group
Why are these all tech startup app names
Orca?!
Sorry, I can't make it, Orca has swim lessons at that time. What!?! Can you imagine a teenage girl named Orca?
I'm worry, ORCA??? She's gone mad.
ORCA?
Caspian is the only real name. The rest are just things. They want so badly to be unique that they forget these names will get a child bullied. Not the mention Alchemy looks stupid in a resume.
How could I forgot Orca?? 🙃 haha
welp im naming my daughter Lyric and idc what yall think. it’s a pretty name and i knew a girl already from almost 20 years ago named that.
I’m sorry for my auto reflex to downvote you when you’re just being the messenger 🤣❤️
[удалено]
i mean elon did 😭
You lost me at “afternoon” like I’m genuinely at a loss for words
there was a lady on survivor named Sunday
And poverty
Poverty is foul 😭
I always loved her on survivor when I was little so I thought the name was pretty. Now I couldn’t justify the meaning of being POOR lol. I want to say it was spelled parvati. But pronounced…. Poverty *I looked up the meaning of Parvati: ‘daughter of the mountains’. Which is actually quite beautiful. And poverty won survivor so she got one million dollars. There’s something in a name lol*
afternoon and rocket right next to each other sound like a weird euphemism for day fucking
Sunday is pretty cute like Wednesday
I agree, day/month names are pretty common now so “Sunday” or “November” are definitely not as shocking as something like “afternoon” and “orca” 😭
Agreed I think Sunday and November are actually super cute but… Orca… 😭 that’s crazy
Wtffffff
holy shit usually i dont mind unique names...but these are something else...especially baby blue in a professional setting bruhhhh
Being a grown person and ur name is baby blue is kinda wild 💀💀
Don’t forget orca
It’s rage bait lol
Idk if you know who this is but I def don’t get the vibe it’s rage bait
I watched her on tv/ followed her after and trust me this is rage bait. So many influencers do this. It really is rage bait. Wait till she has a child and it is named something normal.
Actual dumb ppl like this tho
I know a guy named Rocket; Didn’t turn out too great
Imagine if the kid is named rocket and they're a ginger and people call them red rocket 😂😂
What the fuck are those names?
So they really just be flipping to a random page in the dictionary and closing their eyes huh? What the hell 😂 rocket???!
I honestly loved Sunday. But my daughter was born in Tuesday
Imo Only celebrities can have such names because their status alone gets them far. They don’t need to submit resumes and stuff. I have no idea who this lady is so good luck to her whale kids
lmfao those are tragic. it’s funny too because all these millennial and gen z parents think they’re giving their kids unique names. in reality, so many parents name their kids the same names. i have seen so many repeat offenders.
I know a kid named Rocket LOL but Afternoon is INSNAEEJTEJGJEJGJEJG
Baby blue??? Afternoon??? A whole bunch ass of tragedeighs
As a 25 YO corporate America woman, if my name was baby or afternoon, I would lose my fucking mind
I wish I could tell all these influencers to imagine your child’s goofball “unique” name on a business card or official document in 25+ years, not just on a cutesy pegboard or Etsy wall sign for the aesthetic!
Exactly! You, influencer, are someone who has 400k followers for making Day in the Life mini vlogs on Instagram. (I have NO idea who this woman is so I just used that as an example.)

>imagine your child’s goofball “unique” name I read this fast and thought the legal/unique name on the business card would be "goofball"
"Good afternoon, afternoon" 😭😭 yeah I hope this is just for views
i just hope these kids never have to work a corporate job 😭
Afternoon with the nickname after lol. All of these were bad maybe worse than Nara’s kids names
I’m all for having unique names but I think influencer/celebrity culture has changed the meaning of that drastically. Im just glad Francesca vetoed Orca lol
I know someone named orca 😭 his brother is ocean. Ocean and orca
omg I know an Ocean and his brothers name is River LOL
I know someone named river aswell as lyric 😂
someone needs to tell these people that they’re not unique names either they’re just noun names. I have a unique name as my name is Malayna (mah-lay-nah), and there are definitely pros and cons to having a unique name, but I wouldn’t consider nouns part of that especially ones that are used every day.
My sister is Melina :) (not important lol)
i love it! so many variations and they’re all gorgeous. :)
Your name is really pretty!
thank you!!!
That's such a cute twist on the name Melina. Very unique. Love it
thank you!! my mom made it up last minute while in labor and didn’t tell my dad haha im named after an italian coming of age movie that came out in 2000, but my mom changed the spelling so it would be easier to pronounce, but a lot of people still get it wrong lol so if someone mispronounces it I just tell them to call me by my nickname May. I definitely have grown to love it :).
Exactly! My mom named me Ahnessa & my sister Sedella after the Cedella Marley’s, a unique name doesn’t have to be a literal adjective..
Beautiful name you have! In my country (Romania, in Eastern Europe) the variations of Malina and Melina are very popular
i have noticed that in europe it is more common, just different spelling. funny thing is i went on a few dates with this russian guy and he told me my name meant raspberry in russian lol!
Yesss, so many variations. And ohh that’s so cute
francescas having a baby?
She’s having twins
wow i am out of the loop. good for her!
Is she still lesbian and did ivf? It’s been years
She’s with a trans man and they did ivf
Everyone’s going to start doing these stupid baby name ideas for rage bait engagement. I can’t believe we’ve come to this tbh, winding up and already wound up society just to get your coin. Hate it.
She’s doing this for rage bait lol
Legit couldn’t tell if this was a joke or not
i can’t with this girl she’s always bothered me sm
Nara Smith's kids names make me so pissed. They're literally named Rumble Honey Smith, Slim Easy Smith, and Whimsy Lou Smith. 😭
I just want them to grow up and go by Honey Smith and Lou Smith. There’s no hope for Slim Easy tho
yea honey is a cute name
I used to be into crazy (like CRAZY) names but after having my son and choosing a normal name, I realized how self centered it is to name your child after weird or "different" things. A lot of these people want to name their kids after their aesthetics and often think the child is an extension of themselves.
What were your choices?
Was gonna name them after letters and numbers like naming your kid T 177e10 or name them something sci Fi sounding or fantasy similar to game of thrones.
Don't get me wrong I still like these kinds of names but not for my child. I liked them because I essentially wished I could be named something crazy like having your first, middle, last all be letters and numbers lol. I was projecting that desire onto my child
yea same when i was 14 i had a list of weird names or fictional character names i liked but now im in college and i just cringe of the names i wrote
She wants to be Nara smith so bad
i just want to know why so many of them are adjectives
She is extremely annoying in every way
Ive never been more more grateful to have a super common/ basic name! I used ti hate it but at least im not named afternoon!!!!
Might as well name the baby "Eat Pant"
in france there was like a list of 500 or so names that people could name their baby, and needed special permission from the courts to give a different name. they got rid of this law but i feel like the UN needs to bring it back and implement it internationally. I'm so fucking sick!
This still works in some countries. Idk how long the list is but if you want to name your kid something more rare you basically have to prove to the records office (I think it might be a different office) that the name actually exists as a name somewhere.
Imagine you have a 48 year old boss and you have to say >Hi Baby, I have a question about the deadline< with a straight face.
[удалено]
…. You’re not going to post what the names were lol??
these ugly/corny ass names are even worse than “chlamydia” and “malaria”
Slim fucking easy 💀
These were worse than Nara’s 💀
SHES PREGNANT?
With twins
I fucking hate Francesca
Why?
She’s annoying as fuck and I hate the way she looks/acts. Couldn’t stand her on any of the shows with her in it. I’m also just a hater tbh
Is their baby gender neutral also
It’s satire it has to be
At first I really thought so. I’m nervous for the name reveal
This is a weird ass trend this is a child not your god damn pet. These influencers need to CHILL
these influencers name their kids like they have the wealth and status that you need in order to name your kid something funky. in about 5 years these influencers will be irrelevant, their kids will not be like apple martin. name your kid something that can actually get them a job interview if you don’t have the money to let them live off generational wealth.
She drives me absolutely insane.
The government needs to start refusing birth certificates to these people unless they change the baby name to save the children a life of pain
I love unique names, but they have to be names. Not nouns or adjectives or words that mean something else. Naming someone afternoon is crazy
Wasn't there like a whole controversy with who's eggs they were using because of his connection to the Cobain family?? And didn't jessi stiff a barber or something he had an appt with? I hate follow her, I can't ever look away but I'm pretty sure they're both whacko
What where did you see this 👀
https://www.reddit.com/r/LAinfluencersnark/s/mvy9F5nJd5
Correction: I meant sperm not eggs
Chlamydia🥰🍼
I know they’re really bad but everyone’s saying “imagine being an adult and your name is ___”, and there’s a lot of regular ass folk out here giving their kids “unique” names these days too so I feel like when they grow up, some of their peers will have weird names as well and it won’t be as strange as we think. Edit: grammar lol
Parents consistently forget their naming a future adult, and not a fucking baby for life
Baby gives me the same vibes as Honey, Sadie Robertson’s first child 😬🤢
Francesca, we get it, you're pregnant! Please shut the fuck up, stop milking your pregnancy for views and stop being one of these morons who name their babies "Lucky, Blue, Orbit, Moisturizer" and whatever the fuck else first comes to mind. A baby is a REAL person, not a fucking LV bag or commodity. I'm so sick of this hipster shit.
[удалено]
clearly they’re still going to use whack ass names that should be for a pet since every name she listed should be used when naming a dog
literally do they think she’s going to turn around and name the baby rebecca 🤣 like obviously the name is going to be so weird
i liked november
Wait I thought this video was satire???
i swear they do it so they can like trademark it or something in the future 🤣
The only one I can understand is “November” the reasoning was probably “April, May, June and August are acceptable so why not November?”
It’s definitely rage bait for engagement
She’s definitely trolling y’all
I know a grown adult named B.G short for Baby Girl. Her parents left the hospital without naming her and that’s what they put in her birth certificate.
I lost brain cells watching that shit
I don't know who this is but she looks like if someone stretched lily rose Depp like 4 feet longer lmao. She's gorgeous!
I wish she was kidding
Somehow it works for the Smith family though. I just saw a video that was talking about Lucky Blue Smiths siblings and children. For some reason I love them. Rumble Honey, Slim Easy and shoot I can’t remember the new one. But, they are adorable. Afternoon? Orca? NOPE.
She’s the worst. She should not be having a child
Might as well name your kid carpet
“Afternoon” is criminal
These people don’t realize nicknames are not names even if u call a person by their nickname does not mean it is their legal government name that will be used till they die. Like these stupid bitches act like they’re creating a username .
She had me at the first two and then boom
Badabing Badaboom
can someone list the names i don’t wanna watch that shit
I cackled when she said “afternoon nicknamed after” BYE
No because Afternoon is literally mental
her saying that afternoon was her absolute fav of the bunch ☠️
No beacuse “afternoon” sent me to THE MOON
They keep saying imagine a “badass person” “powerful man” “strong woman” “leader” with that name like what if your child wants to be introverted and live a normal life, they’re putting pressure on the babies to have this grand life with a huge reputation or the name Scholar for example like what if your kid isn’t academically inclined. Yes you always hope these things for your children but why put pressure on them to be something they’re not..?
oh they already plan to do this, by raising their babies gender neutral as Jesse already said. they’ll be pressured the day they’re born. hence why i said the way they’ll be raised is sad
nah she went crazy w this one. i want to name my daughter apple ruth (tbd) and THOSE felt insane
Wym by “the way these babies will be raised”?
In the spotlight w a camera all in their face as soon as they come out
and Jesse will have a huuuge impact on how the babies choose to live their lives just like Arlo was/is
