Choosing a first name for a child is almost never a simple matter. There are people who have always had
an idea of what it could be and others who, on the contrary, spend hours and hours discussing it.
Whether one belongs to the first or the second group does not matter, what is certain is that the choice
of the first name of the future boy or the future girl belongs entirely to the parents. That’s why it’s okay
if parents and friends don’t like the end result.

This may be what the woman in this story thought, who, with her partner, opted for a clearly unusual
first name for her second child. Let’s find out together. When you are expecting a child and you may not
have a favorite name to give him, you think of a close relative or a famous person. But some manage to
be even more original, like the mother at the center of this story. Indy Clinton, 25, from Sydney,
Australia, caused a stir on the web with her choice of name for her baby on the way.

Having become a mother for the second time, the woman had first thought of Paloma, but when she
saw the baby, she had no choice but to change it. This is how the Indy mother chose the first name
Bambi for the little one. Most of us will remember the sweet and cuddly fawn in one of Disney’s most
famous movies, and it was this adorable little animal that was the winner in the race to choose a name
The wife and her companion already have a child, 2-year-old Navy, who particularly likes the animated
character, which helped parents in their choice for his little sister.

This originality, however, was not
appreciated by the entourage, nor by the family members, nor by the many users who heard about the
case and harshly criticized it, but that did not bother this mother.

When I gave birth, I was convinced that Bambi was the most original name anyone had ever used, the
woman said. Unique names are the new fashion and it would have been much worse to choose one
from the 1900s. Besides, I don’t care what people think, she continues, now everything is criticized and I
just gave them what to talk about.»

A truly original or «brave» choice: what do you think?
