A CONTENT producer has poured disdain on a woman’s choice of names for her baby.
She was commenting on a post from an online forum where the mom said she was searching for a patriotic name because she loved her country.

But Lyndsey Chachki (@lyndseychachki) reckoned some of the names on the list were “violently American.”
Lyndsey has over 75,000 followers and another 5.5 million likes. “I don’t believe in consistency,” she said on her TikTok.
She uses her platform to offer commentary on any number of topics, all delivered with deadpan sincerity.
This post was about baby name selections, and she was baffled.
“Totally the best comment section of any of the videos I’ve ever done,” she said.
“Gather round for another round of ‘Why would you name your child that?”
She was responding to another comment from TikToker Andrew Kjorlaug who said: “This comment section proves that the internet remains and will be undefeated.”
Lyndsey went through the name choices: “Found on everyone’s favorite group, Facebook. This is a list of the potential names that she has in mind.”
First up was Goldie Rose and she conceded that it wasn’t such a bad name: “[It] is actually kinda cute I think. Maybe I’m being desensitized to these names though,” she admitted.
But the list continued and with it her sense of incredulity: “Novya Rose, that’s pronounced Nova somehow.
“Hollow Lake, Lakelyn, Lake Rose, Joey Peggy. Peggy is actually pronounced piggy because pigs are cute and it rhymes with Joey.
“No it doesn’t,” she insisted. But there were more names to come and the postholder attempted to explain her reasoning.
“I have to be patriotic. I love my country too much. Probably won’t name my kid this unless it’s a girl.“
Lyndsey was amazed to read her suggestions: “America, Amerika, America Lee, or America Lynn.”
She was unimpressed: “This seems violently American, no?” Then asked: “Where was this woman on January 6th? I’m just curious.”
Lyndsey had her own favorite and it was the last on the list: “For the love of God, go with John,” she urged.
Commenters had their own encounters with patriotic names.
“My mom was best friends with twins name America and Americo,” said this viewer.
Stick with a conventional name advised this fan: “Go with John, boy or girl, doesn’t matter. Still better than all the rest.”
Finally, someone christened with a less-than-usual moniker, pleaded with parents for restraint: “As someone with a mildly unusual name I implore you to please don’t name your kid a creative name.”
