For many couples, this is one of the happiest times of their life bringing a little bundle of joy into the world. The excitement of telling your family, to setting up your registry to finding a space for the crib are just some of the pre-tasks at hand. The list of the un-thinkables can be a bit overwhelming but for good reason. One struggle many couples face is naming their baby.
Naming A Baby
Parents of the baby to be may have already started to ponder what to the name baby. Will they be named after a family member or take the both couples last names? Naming a baby is so important because the name chosen will last with them forever. Their name becomes part of their identity and choosing the wrong name could be detrimental. And it's not just a first name but the middle and last name also play a crucial role. Will the baby have a middle name? That's for you to decide but a first name is a must.
There are many common baby names and the new trend is to name your baby something unpredictable. We have seen with the Kar-Jenners with baby names like Stormi, True, Psalm and North but they aren't the only family to do this. Elon Musk and Grimes named their youngest child, Techno Mechanicus with the nickname Tau. We don't know if that is the direction we would have chosen but to each their own.
Baby Names TikTok Trend
There is a popular trend going around TikTok where people are naming baby names that would theoretically sound "cute" if they didn't have other meanings. For example, Gasoline, if it didn't mean what we know it to be, it could sound cute for a little girl. We hope that our list below helps future parents name or not name their future baby! Enjoy.
Knife

Salami

Vase

Brussel

Felony
