TikTok Trend: Do 'Baby Name Haters' Secretly Choose Names From Childhood Favorites?

Parents' Baby Name Choices: A Curious Trend Observed on TikTok A recent TikTok video by name consultant Morgan | Name Consultant (@hellomorgantimm) has sparked interest in a peculiar trend. The video, which has garnered over 2000 views in less than 24 hours, proposes that parents who initially express dislike for baby names often choose names inspired by their childhood favorite movies and shows. Morgan states, "once I started noticing this, now I'm seeing it everywhere." This observation, while not scientifically proven, resonates with many parents who have struggled with the name-selection process. The video uses the example of the name "Violet," noting its popularity among parents who initially claimed to dislike most baby names, and its connection to the Disney film, The Incredibles. While the hypothesis is based on observation rather than rigorous research, it provides a light-hearted and engaging perspective on a common parenting challenge. The trend's prevalence and the video's popularity suggest a broader interest in the topic, making it suitable for a light news piece.
