[Opinions] Re: Twitter influencer’s baby name list
in reply to a message by jonesilove
Amiri has a pretty sound, at least!
You know, I really wonder sometimes....do the people who choose these kind of names truly not realize that they make themselves look like the *opposite* of what they are trying to achieve?
These names almost feel like curses to me. Like a covetous, bitter parent who is already jealous of their child's potential hobbling them right out of the gate, so they can never get to the Dior promised land. It's like Saturn devouring his young.
But then, influencers do anything for attention, because attention is money, so I don't know why I'm surprised at all.

lol Saturn devouring his young made me laugh! I think to a certain degree there is ignorance. That, and the reality is that most influencers don’t make that much money as they would have you think. My cousin got a six figure follower count on instagram posting herself in a bikini and on the beach, and she still has a day job. So I’m sure that for some influencers, they strive to represent a lifestyle they’ll never achieve.
