A mum has been criticized for giving her baby an unusual name inspired by a popular Disney character. <\/p>\n
The landscape of baby naming has experienced a dramatic transformation in recent years.<\/p>\n
Traditional names like John, Mary, William, and Elizabeth are increasingly giving way to a new wave of creativity and individuality.
\nGone are the days when a classroom was filled with multiple children answering to the same name.<\/p>\n
Nowadays, parents want something that stands out, conveying a sense of individuality.
\nFor one mum, this has led to a backlash and she\u2019s been forced to defend her choice.<\/p>\n
fitness and lifestyle blogger Indy Clinton initially planned to name her second child Paloma but in the end, opted for something entirely different.
\nWhile some say they love the name she\u2019s chosen, others say it\u2019ll lead to the child being \u2018ridiculed.\u2019
\n\u201cImagine being an adult named this. These baby names are mad these days,\u201d one person says.
\nSarcastically, a second comments: \u201cAre you naming humans that will be adults one day? Or kittens?\u201d
\n\u201cDefinitely bring up the fact that kids are cruel. A unique name isn\u2019t something to shy away from but a unique name that is indelibly tied to a character may not be desirable to your kid,\u201d a third person pens. \u201cNow imagine being in middle school with a Disney name.\u201d
\nDefending the infant\u2019s name, one fan writes: \u201cPeople need to shut it. She can name her baby anything she wants. I think it\u2019s adorable.\u201d
\nIn agreement, another adds: \u201cCongratulations! It\u2019s a wonderful name for your baby.\u201d
\n\u201cSo happy, love the name,\u201d a third person comments.<\/p>\n
Clinton named her daughter Bambi, just like the 1942 Disney classic.
\nThe influencer said her little girl\u2019s \u2018sweet, curious nature\u2019 and \u2018big brown eyes\u2019 reminded her of the beloved cartoon deer, per MailOnline.
\n\u201cWhen I was giving birth, I was convinced Bambi was the most unique, unusual name that nobody would use,\u201d Clinton explained.
\n\u201cWe were set on calling her Paloma at first. That was her name, and nothing was going to change that. But I was reading the book to Navy [her son] one night and it came to me. I sat up and yelled, \u2018What about Bambi?\u2019 and from then on it stuck.\u201d
\nClinton is unfazed by people\u2019s criticism of her choice \u2013 she says \u2018unique names are the new trend\u2019 and \u2018people will criticize anything.\u2019<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cShe couldn\u2019t be a Paloma now \u2013 she\u2019s my Bambilicious.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
