The names we choose to give our children can significantly impact their lives. Multiple studies from across the globe have found that a person’s name can influence their employment‚ social and economic outcomes.Unfortunately‚ humans make snap judgments about one another‚ and having an unusual name can lead people to make unflattering assumptions. “We’re hardwired to try to figure out in a heartbeat whether or not we want to trust somebody‚ whether we want to run from somebody‚” Northwestern University researcher David Figlio said‚ according to Live Science. However‚ an increasing number of parents are giving their children non-traditional names to help them stand out. “Parents are trying to be original‚ almost branding their kids in an era where names are viewed on the same level as Twitter handles or a website URL‚” writer Sabrina Rogers-Anderson said.Ruby‚ a mother on TikTok‚ took a hard stance on parents giving their children names that sound childish in a post that’s received over 11 million views. Ruby says she named her kids as “adults‚ not babies” hoping they would never “outgrow” their names. @rubyyvillarreal TikTok · R U B Y V I L L A R R E A L “The whole concept when I was trying to look for a name and choose a name for her is I did not want her to outgrow her name‚” she said in the viral video. “I wanted the name to fit her as a baby‚ as a toddler‚ as a child‚ and into adulthood. So‚ it's like I really am happy with what I ended up with naming her and it just fits her so well.”She captioned the video‚ “love having nicknames as they are younger and it doesn’t mean they will prefer it over their name as they get older. Just gives them options.”People in the comments responded with modern names they think that kids will outgrow."My name is Koazy and I’m here for a job interview‚" Stalker joked. "Hello sir‚ I am Bluey Mason Garrison! I was called in for a job interview last Tuesday‚" Pastel Purr added."I can’t imagine knowing [a] 30-year-old named Emma or Posie‚" Mikey wrote.However‚ a lot of people commented that names that seem like they’ll be outgrown will sound fine in the future when those names are popular with the new generation. “Kids grow up with their generation having their own names on trend. They will be normal adult names when they are grown‚” Kerry wrote.“Names grow with the generation‚” Lauren added. “The name Dennis sounded like a baby name once too. Names grow up just like generations.” @rubyyvillarreal Replying to @19eighty_5 my kids name and the process 😬 #babynames #nicknames #babytok #adultnames #momsoftiktok #momlife #momtok #pregnancytiktok #toddlersoftiktok #babyname #babyfever In a follow-up video‚ Ruby shared the names she gave her children. Her girl is named Karla Esmerelda and her boy is called Deluca.“I just really liked how simple‚ how bold‚ and strong that the name by itself just really kind of is. Doing some research names with the letter K tend to be like very bold and powerful names‚ so I really wanted it with a K and not with a C‚” she said.She named her son Deluca‚ after a doctor on “Grey’s Anatomy.” She said she chose the name because there was nothing to connect it to‚ and it sounded “nice.”This article originally appeared on 4.26.23
