In a delightful display of creativity, a group of preschoolers recently offered their hilarious suggestions for what their pregnant teacher should name her forthcoming baby. Expecting parents searching for unique baby names might want to skip the countless baby-naming websites and take a stroll to their local preschool instead.
A Reddit user, who goes by the name of SmartiePants_02, shared a charming story about her cousin, a preschool teacher, who encouraged her students to come up with names for her soon-to-arrive baby. The outcome was nothing short of delightful.
In a heartwarming image shared by SmartiePants_02, the children suggested a mix of classic names such as Emily, Grace, and Lucas. However, if Miss Sarah is leaning towards something more unconventional, she might also want to consider names like “Cupcake,” “Rocketship,” “Bubbles,” and “Grandma.” “Cupcake” stands out, but “Bubbles” is certainly a contender for originality. Interestingly, “Grandma” was proposed for a baby boy, which adds an extra layer of humor to the mix.
If Miss Sarah prefers familiar names, she might want to hope for a girl, as the only “normal” boy names on the list were Oliver and Lucas, with Oliver being suggested by another teacher. The ability of the preschool teacher who compiled this adorable poster to maintain composure while listing such whimsical names deserves recognition—she might even consider a career in poker for her impressive poker face when faced with the suggestion of “Bubbles.”
While some of these names may seem outlandish initially, it’s not hard to imagine them becoming trendy in the world of celebrity baby names. After all, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a public figure like Beyoncé naming her child “Rocketship Carter” in the future.
Naming conventions evolve, and what once seemed peculiar—like the name Apple—can quickly become more accepted. By the time Miss Sarah’s child enters school, something like “Cupcake” could be viewed as just another name on the roster.
Though Miss Sarah likely has a few names in mind already, we can’t help but encourage her to consider some of these whimsical ideas as well. Emily and Grace are lovely choices, but a middle name like “Bubbles Rocketship” would certainly add flair.
