Choosing a name for your child is a big decision. It’s something that will stick with them for the rest of their lives and help shape their identity. This is why when Australian mom and influencer Indy Clinton named her daughter Bambi, she faced quite a bit of criticism.

Clinton, known on TikTok for her quirky videos and sexy looks, shared with her followers that she named her baby girl after the beloved Disney character. She had always loved the story and had been reading it to her son since he was born. Now, she’s sharing it with her daughter Bambi.

Initially, Clinton had planned to name her daughter Paloma. However, when she saw her baby girl’s “sweet, curious nature” and “big, brown eyes,” she knew she had to change her plans. Bambi was the perfect fit.

“When I was giving birth four months ago, I thought Bambi was the most unique, unusual name that nobody would use,” Clinton revealed. But she soon discovered that she wasn’t the only one who saw beauty in this name. Another child, Molly-Mae, also received criticism for being named Bambi.

Despite the backlash, Clinton stands by her choice. Unique names are on-trend nowadays, and she believes Bambi will fit right in with other unconventional names like Rivers, Bears, Forests, Stormis, and Wolfs. She doesn’t mind the criticism because she loves the name.

“People will criticize anything these days, so at least give them something to talk about,” Clinton says.
