Sorry to break it to you, but your name may be aging you. Names that were popular back in the 90s and early 2000s are no longer cool, but even worse? Theyâre considered âold people names.â
Amber Cimiotti recently took to TikTok with a video explaining which names her young daughter thinks are only for old folks. The mom reveals that according to her little girl, millennial-era names like Ashley, Amber and Amanda are âold people namesâ now. So theyâre âbasically the new Margaret or Barbara.â
In the clip, which has racked up more than 3.5-million views, Amber shares the common names for kids today, including her daughterâs, Scarlett. âThereâs Charlottes, thereâs Olivias, thereâs Penelopes, thereâs Isabellas, thereâs Bellas, thereâs Ellas,â the mom says. But because her daughterâs teachers are âMiss Ericaâ and âMiss Samantha,â the little girl and her classmates think of those as old lady names.
- In the comments section, people shared their surprise at Gen Alpha kidsâ take on names, including a woman named Amanda who writes, âWhat a way to find out that Iâm basically Gertrude to this new generation.â
- âMy daughter told me a kid in her class has a dad name,â comments another user. âKids name is Joshâ
- And a hospital employee shares, âI work in a NICU and we just had a baby named âJenniferâ⊠first Jennifer Iâve seen in 20 years in the NICU!â
