People have started naming their babies after IKEA furniture

1 min read

Would you do it?

We can all admit it. We love IKEA. We have a Pinterest board dedicated to IKEA hacks, and we’ll happily set aside out entire Saturday for a trip to the store. But even as dedicated IKEA fans, we’re still not too sure about this trend.

A user called Lucy BC has taken to the BabyCentre forum to share a list of baby names – all of which are also names of IKEA furniture.

Naming your baby after IKEA furniture might seem ridiculous at first glance, but don’t dismiss the idea,” she captioned her post. “IKEA is known for the charming Scandinavian names it gives its products and many work surprisingly well as baby names.

Here’s the list of names Lucy BC recommends:

Malm

Tarva

Stefan

Ivar

Tobias

Stig

Franklin

Ingo

Fredde

Sommar

Norna 

Cilla 

Malinda

Elly

Henrika

Johanne

Mata

Mydal

We’re waiting to see if ‘Mydal’ ends up in the top baby names for 2018.
