The naming is not only difficult for expectant parents, but apparently also a sensitive issue for their followers: an influencer couple from the USA now had to endure a shitstorm because of their choice of name.
Whether Sunshine, Audio Science or Angel Princess: the parents choose the names of their children. The rules in the USA are that simple. So the United States is also the land of unlimited possibilities when it comes to naming – at least that could be assumed.
A prominent couple of parents from the USA now had to accept severe criticism for the choice of their baby’s name. In the end, the criticism was so irrelevant that supposedly even death threats fluttered into the house.
USA: Influencer couple is attacked for naming
The victims of the baiting are Jasmine Chiswell and Maverick McNeilly. The two are a couple, known as influencers on Tiktok and Instagram. The two had an addition to the family in January 2022, but they only revealed their son’s name on social media in mid-February 2022 – a mistake, as it turned out.
“His name is Midnight (German: midnight)”, the two revealed in one of their numerous videos. There was massive incomprehension in the comment columns. “Is that a joke?” asks one of her followers. Another follower writes: “You’re kidding me, Jasmine?!” Many more taunts followed.
