For some reason, a website called Fit Pregnancy has decided to release a list of hipster baby names so if you want your kid to grow up and be a rollie smoking douchebag who likes to sit around drinking flat whites and talking about their favourite Sofia Coppola movies then you can give them more than a head start by giving them a sweet name. It’s a way better head start than the accidental Chinese hipsters anyway.
Although arguably this defeats the whole point of being a hipster, as you normally come up with your own stupid name when you decide you want to get involved in that kind of scene. You know, something like Cosmo or Ludovic or Gustav or something because nobody is actually named those names, right?
Fit Pregnancy have justified this list with the following statement, but we all know that it’s bullshit.
‘If you are looking for a baby name that is a little out of the ordinary and defies conformity, then we have a great selection of baby names for you.’
I mean it even sounds like some kind of hipster manifesto? And the site is called Fit Pregnancy, how can a site with a name like that have any kind of legitimacy regarding anything? At least we know we can always get Charles Bronson in to kill all hipsters if things get too out of hand though.
Anyway, if you can stomach going through all of these names then check them out below, with assorted snarky comments of course, courtesy of Elite Daily because I couldn’t really make them any funnier:
Boys:
Auden
To make sure your son is most definitely bi-curious…
Byron
He’s the highest ranked douche you know.
Enoch
You mean echo? Because that’s cooler.
Gulliver
If he’s short, you may as well just kill him now.
Ignatius
What are his friends going to call him? Igna? Think about it…
Lennon
Yep, your son should definitely try and live up to that one…
Murray
It’s like vintage, right?
Nico
Like De Niro? But edgier…
Orson
More like organ boy, Orpheus and orgy lover.
Roman
Maybe he could pull it off if he looks European… and plays soccer.
Salinger
Why don’t you just name him Holden? Or Caulfield? That’s even edgier.
Zane
Like that One Direction girl? That’s original.
Girls:
Briseida
Her destiny will be prostitution in a coal-mining country where everyone has a lisp.
Farrah
She did have a pretty good sex tape…
Inez
Once again: Vintage, right?
Liora
You can’t just put vowels wherever you goddamn please. It’s not right.
Minnie
It’s not original. Minnie Mouse and Minnie Driver both had it first.
Odette
By her 16th birthday, you can bet she’ll be OD-ing on something…
Pandora
You can name your son Spotify. No, Shazam!
Romy
To match my hipster brother, Roman. Except I’m a girl, so I’m romier.
Suzette
Suzanne is so 2011…
Tessie
Dog names always make a comeback.
Wren
This will be her whole life: “Not when! Wren!”
Zola
Only because Lola is now the name of one too many strippers.
