In a humorous TikTok post, creator Manny Buckley critiques the recent trend of naming children after elderly figures, contrasting it with previous popular names. He amusingly points out how names like 'George' and 'Agnes' are more suited to older adults, referencing their age and life stage, rather than the youth they now represent. Buckley aims to expose society's shift in naming conventions while engaging viewers in light-hearted banter. His observations open a broader discourse on how names shape societal perceptions of children and their identities.
It's about our kids. Specifically, our kid's names. 'Y'all went from naming all y'all's kids Jayden, Cayden, and Aiden, Madison, Addison, and Addylyn to giving them all old people names.'
I'm on the train and this lady is calling out a name and she's like 'George! George!' and she is talking to this kid that's under 5 years old. Ma'am. George is a mechanic in his 60s.
The following names are all within the top 150 given to children in 2023, and these are some of the vibes we feel they could potentially be giving off.
Obviously, this is all in good fun... and it's fun we wanted to join in on.
