“Baby name experts” have released a list of the top Google searches for “Can I name my baby . . . [blank]?” There are dozens of “names” on it, but here are the highlights:
1. Apple . . . Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin did it.
2. Amen.
3. Baby . . . In addition to lacking creativity, this could create some awkward PC challenges down the road.
4. Batman . . . (???)
5. Cinderella . . . Maybe if you want to emphasize a curfew in their teen years?
6. Doctor . . . This is one way to ENSURE that your kid is a “doctor,” kind of.
7. Disney.
8. Eleven . . . Possibly “Stranger Things”-inspired.
9. God . . . This MIGHT give the kid a complex.
10. Google.
11. Heaven.
12. Jesus.
13. John Doe / Jane Doe . . . This is objectively hilarious.
14. Khaleesi . . . Apparently “Game of Thrones”-inspired.
15. Lucifer.
16. Love.
17. Nirvana.
18. Shrek.
19. Saint . . . Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did it.
20. Zero . . . There isn’t a good explanation for this one. It’s been used as a boy’s name of Arabic origin meaning “void.”
