Boomers Roll Eyes at Trendy Baby Names Today
Baby Boomers often laugh at unique baby names that are popular today. Names like Moonbeam or Maverick sound very different from the classic names like Susan and Michael that Boomers grew up with. This difference makes us think about what a name means for a child. Are these special names a way to show who someone is? Or could they make things harder for a child as they grow up?
As you think about these differences between generations, it’s important to consider what choosing a name really means in today’s world. Names can carry a lot of weight. They can shape how people see you and how you see yourself. So, when parents pick names for their kids, they should think about how those names might affect them now and in the future.
