Friend's choice of triplet names inspired by Kim Kardashian leaves woman cringing
The new mother wanted the titles to 'flow' together, but her pal didn't see it that way
A woman has been left cringing after her friend decided to name her triplets with names inspired by Kim Kardashian, ensuring they 'flow' together.
Posting on Reddit, she revealed: "My friend is having triplet boys later this year, and when I went to visit her, I asked her what names she had in mind. She said she's set on these three names - Bishop, Deacon and Pope."
The friend has since opted to change Bishop to Saint, enamoured by the name after Kim Kardashian chose it for her son, reports the Mirror.
Reddit users weighed in on the names, with one commenting: "Deacon wouldn't be too bad by itself, but Pope is completely unhinged, omg. Just pick classic Bible names like normal people."
Another remarked: "Bishop reminds me of the Marvel hero, and Deacon is a pretty obscure reference that only Catholics would get. Honestly it's the kid named Pope that ruins it."
A third chimed in: "Tragic and tragedy... there are so many nice normal names that are related to her religion too."
Yet another added: "These names would be illegal in my country and she would be told it was denied and to think of something else."
A different user noted: "Saint is going to be the favourite."
Despite the backlash, it's worth noting that many religious names have longstanding cultural significance and have been cherished across generations.
In numerous cultures, names with religious significance such as Mary, John, or Mohammed have been long favoured to celebrate heritage and pay tribute to progenitors.
These religious monikers are often imbued with profound spiritual or emblematic meanings that reflect qualities like virtue, faith, or a dedication to the divine. For instance, "Faith" and "Grace" are evocative of Christian-related ideals embodying positive spiritual attributes.
At the same time, names like "Noah" (Hebrew for "rest" or "comfort") or "Fatima" (highly esteemed in Islamic tradition) are chosen for the symbolic meanings they represent within their religious spheres.
A host of celebrities adore names steeped in religious significance. Kim Kardashian influenced many to choose the name 'Saint' for her offspring.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin went with Moses for their son, Will Ferrell and Viveca Paulin settled on Matthias, and Amy Poehler and Will Arnett were captivated by the name Abel. The options seem boundless!
Kim Kardashian has five children with rapper Kanye West. They are called North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. The couple had started dating in 2012 - while Kardashian was still legally married to basketball player Kris Humphries.
West and Kardashian married in 2014 and filed for divorce in 2021. The oldest of the kids, North West, was born in 2013.
