Influencers Nara Smith and Lucky Blue Smith are well known for their… let’s say unusual baby names. With a lineup of Rumble Honey, Slim Easy and Whimsy Lou, they’re certainly giving the Kardashian clan a run for their money (I still haven’t forgotten how ridiculous the name North West is, by the way).
Now pregnant with their fourth child in six years, 23-year-old Nara posted a video on TikTok that has quickly gone viral, telling her followers the baby names they considered.
@naraazizasmith names on your list?

“It’s getting harder to name children”, Nara told her viewers, expressing her desire to have “unique” names for all of her kids. Well, she’s definitely achieved that so far. I can only remember the hysteria online when her and Lucky announced that their son would be called Slim Easy, giving us iconic reactions such as “my boy Slim Easy sounds like he’s a rapper”. Others asked “what if Slim Easy becomes fat and difficult, what then?”. Others pointed out how “Slim Easy sounds like a slimming drink”.
Nara is aware of online incredulity at her baby name choices and addresses this at the start of the video, joking that she’s naming her new baby moonbeam ice cream. She then confirms that this is not a potential name – but are her B-List baby names any better than naming your child after a lunar treat?
Moss

Starting off with her list of boys’ names, Nara recommended naming your baby Moss. Will we be taking her advice? TikTok commenters had a lot to say (as per usual), with one viewer commenting
“Unique names 
random words 
”
I have to say I agree with this – while I love nature themed names, sometimes you can cross the line. I won’t be naming my baby “foliage”, for example.
Goodie
Ah, so it gets worse. I had to rewatch the video several times for this one to make sure my ears did not deceive me – unfortunately, I heard right.
“How unfair you get an actual name like Nara Smith and your kids are getting Crumbl cookie names 
”, one user commented. Goodie Cookies… that does sound like a shop you could see on the high street.
Sundae

But moonbeam ice cream is a step too far, Nara? The comments agreed with me yet again, pointing out “ice cream sundae ”. Maybe she’ll reconsider.
Champ
While an affectionate pet name an American boomer grandad might call his grandson, this name doesn’t really redeem the list either. “These are actually really great names for pets”, commented one viewer, which seems fair – I can definitely picture a horse being called “Champ”. Maybe not a grown human adult though.
Silk

Well, this one blew me away. I should’ve known better, considering the past four names, but this is the most baffling one so far to me. Commenters asked “Are you raising Hunger Games characters?”, and maybe this is where Nara got her inspiration – there is a character called Silka, after all. She suffers a horrific death, however, so I’m sure this isn’t the legacy that Nara wants for her baby boy.
Dare
Perhaps I’m developing Stockholm Syndrome, because this seems like the most normal one on the list – if you’re a cartoon character. “Their names sound like those pre-made passwords you got back in 2019. PinkRaven123” a user joked in the comments. DareDevil789 sounds like it could be the username my brother had when we played Fireboy and Watergirl – I’m happy to lend it out to Nara if she wants it, but I did have it first x
Twinkle
Oh, and the girls’ names don’t get any better. “I feel like girls’ names are harder than boys”, she shared before revealing her list, striking fear into my heart. Could anything be worse than Goodie?
Yes, it could. Starting off strong with “Twinkle”, commenters questioned Nara “Are you naming an Elf on the Shelf or a child?”. Seems like a fair query to me.
Velvet

Hm, this one feels rogue. Would you name your child Denim? Cotton? Leather? Although she did suggest Silk, so maybe I’m just giving her more inspiration. I apologise to Nara’s future children.
For once the comments didn’t agree with me here, with a user defending that “Velvet is kinda cute”. Each to their own, I guess.
Button
And we’re back in the land of ridiculous. Button? BUTTON? Imagine having to go to a job interview and introducing yourself as button. Cursing your child with eternal unemployment before they’re even born feels cruel – but I guess if both of your parents are influencer models, you don’t really need to worry about that.
“I would f**king die if I was called Button”, one commenter said. Yeah, I think that just about sums it up.
Apple
While this is certainly not normal, I feel like we’ve all been gaslit into thinking it is from Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin naming their daughter Apple in 2004 – truly a glorious day for some.
While commenters sighed “How is Apple the normalest name on this list.”, Nara was not happy with it. “It’s been used before”, she explained before moving to her next choice. Well, hasn’t every name? Hopefully not the ones on this list though. If anyone named Button, Twinkle or Sundae wants to reach out for support, my DMs are always open x
Wilhelmina
View this post on Instagram
Okay, this one doesn’t feel too bad? While it’s certainly very retro (1980s Netherlands Queen Wilhelmina wants her credit, thank you), I feel like it’s the most normal name on this list. Not that’s a huge achievement – the bar is extremely low (hello, Goodie).
Commenters were still not happy, however, suggesting instead “What about woopsy woody woo?” Guys, we have to stop giving her ideas. Seriously.
Berry
Again, I feel like I’m just getting used to the ridiculousness of the rest of the list, because this one is also not that bad to me. It’s definitely unconventional, but I can see it fitting in with the celeb baby world. Berry can be friends with Blue Ivy, Audio Science, Moxie CrimeFighter, Pilot Inspektor, and X æ A-12! Still working on how to pronounce that last one.
“Nara is naming her kids with her pregnancy cravings”, one viewer theorised, and honestly it all makes sense now.
Butter
View this post on Instagram
“Lucky didn’t like it so it didn’t make it onto the list” is the only reason Nara gave for not naming her child after the dairy spread. I can think of several others. This name was the icing on the cake for me (or should I say… butter), and I think it wins the top spot of most unbelievable name on the list.
I physically winced reading the comment “the concept of a grown adult called butter trying to make a dentist appointment”, because that’s a scary enough task on its own, without throwing in publicly humiliating names. At what point is it child cruelty?
Merit
Falling into the same category as Goodie, Champ, Dare and Twinkle, I think these names are only appropriate for horses. I guess it sounds a bit like Verity, making it kind of okay?
“Girly these are full humans. they’re not pets”, one commenter advised, contributing to my theory that Nara is actually testing out names for her children’s horses, not actual humans. We can only hope.
Shimmer
View this post on Instagram
Last but not least: Sparkles. Kidding, it’s Shimmer. Isn’t that so much better? “What if she has twins and names them shimmer and shine.” one viewer asked, referencing the children’s cartoon. Shimmer and Shine are genies, by the way. And STOP GIVING HER IDEAS!
Any suggestions?
The comments also did not hold back in offering other name choices, including “micro wavey”, “Loc Smith”, “Easy Peasy”, “Ash Tray for a boy 
and Toi Lette for a girl 
”, “Memory Laine”, “Hokey Pokey”, and “Krabby Patty”. At least Krabby Patty would fit with her cartoon theme.
One user sums my feelings up perfectly, commenting “Nara, remember they won’t be babies forever and have to introduce themselves to co workers and bosses.” Getting a job in this economy is hard enough, Nara!
However, there are some leaping to her defence, theorising that “This is all a joke and the kids have actual names and she’s just using these to protect the children 
”. I really hope so, Sundae Butter. I really do.
