In the cold winter morning, a baby boy born in Ohio was named Luca in honor of Dr. Luca Vricella, the pediatric cardiac surgeon who’d operated on Luca’s late older brother. This year, right here in India, a boy born amidst the lockdown was named Mohammad Ranvijay, middle name in honor of police officer Ranvijay Singh, who’d assisted the baby’s father to be able to see his child. These are our real heroes.
Our own celebrity stars from Bollywood, Kollywood, and Tollywood have been entertaining us for decades. Some of them have been heroes in real times too. For instance, Aish once saved her manager from a fire incident. When she was pregnant, we were all curious to know what she might name her daughter.
The best part about a celebrity announcing the birth of their baby is the name reveal. Most of us eagerly await the Social Media post confirming the chosen one which is often different. Most Bollywood celebs LOVE a niche name.
Well, you must have already figured by now. We are talking about the most special moment of your life. Many couples choose timeless names, while others opt for modern baby names. I have friends who have been visiting websites with unique tools that let parents plug in a few letters or a whole name and see a visual depiction of its corresponding popularity trends over time. Yes! Pretty much like Buzzsumo for keywords. But, unique names that define dynamic personalities are the trend these days. Celebrity names or their baby names almost top the charts when it comes to drawing inspiration.
