What to Consider When Giving Your Baby a Funny Name
Don’t make it too funny. Err on the side of fun, friendly, happy, or unique—not hysterical or dumb, and certainly not cruel. Fitting in at school is hard enough when you don’t have a name like Engelbert Humperdinck!
Avoid choosing a name that’s too “of the moment.” Baby names follow trends, certainly: you’ll see a lot more Rowans, Caspians, and Apollos now than you might have 30 years ago, and one day, those names will fall out of style again. So it goes! That said, you probably want to avoid naming your baby something based on a fleeting pop culture fad or meme that might seem cringe in a few years, like “Iron Man” or “Tesla.”
Give your baby a name they can grow with. No matter how funny the name “Chubbo” might be for a newborn with rolls galore, it’s unlikely to fit as well when he’s starting middle school, applying for college, going on job interviews, getting married…. In other words, don’t just name your baby: name the man you hope he’ll grow into.
