In the Era of Social Media, Unusual Baby Names Are on the Rise
Every generation of parents faces new challenges, but one of the latest trends is particularly eye-catching—literally. A recent survey found that 7% of parents have given their child a completely made-up name, and for half of them, the decision was influenced by social media.
The idea? A name that stands out in a crowded digital world. While creativity in baby naming isn’t new, today’s parents are taking it to a whole new level, crafting unique monikers like Jaspin, Ranger, Maevery, and Sophiel. Some hope these distinctive names will give their children an advantage in a world where branding matters more than ever.
But experts warn that going too far in the quest for individuality might backfire, making it harder for kids to navigate school, job applications, or even just getting their name spelled correctly at the coffee shop.
So, is this the future of baby names? Or are we just one viral trend away from a generation of kids wishing their parents had stuck with classics?
