Have You Met Ludwig? Parents Naming Babies After Instagram Filters
DETROIT (CBS Detroit) - Naming a child after a parent is tradition, and naming one after a celebrity is a thing — but here's something new for 2015.
According to BabyCenter,com, Juno, Reyes, Ludwig, Amaro, Valencia and Willow — all the names of Instagram filters — have spiked in popularity.
According to a report by the parenting website, which released its annual list of popular baby names and naming trends for the year, Reyes, Hudson and Kelvin — other filters on the popular photo-sharing app — were also chosen as boy names more often in 2015.
Meantime, Lux, the name of an Instagram editing tool, jumped a whopping 75 percent.
(We can be thankful for now that Inkwell, Earlybird, Toaster and Lo-Fi haven't popped up yet).
