“Today’s parents are fixated on sending the right messages with the names they choose,” Pamela Redmond, founder of Nameberry, a global site devoted to monikers, in a recent report on buzzy baby naming trends expected to dominate in the new year.

“The perfect baby name for 2024 is one that is ahead of the style curve, personally significant and identity-defining,” added Redmond.

People like this probably don’t need to be having kids in the first place.

It’s like they forget that actual adult humans (who they claim to love and want the best for) will have to carry these dumb af trophy names around for the rest of their lives, constantly correcting others’ spelling, pronunciation, or misconceptions about their identity and trying desperately to get a respectable job because even if they manage to build a strong resume plenty of employers just won’t want the headache of sorting out how or what to call them.

If new parents are so dead-set on “making a statement” by putting some uneek, pretentious, functionally illiterate and/or socially awkward collection of letters on an official form, they can go change their own names.
