Meet 25-year-old Australian mom Indy Clinton, who recently welcomed her newborn daughter into the world and boldly named her Bambi, inspired by the iconic Disney character. Unfazed by online criticism, Indy, a TikTok sensation known for sharing her family life, proudly embraced the choice.

Indy’s love for Disney’s Bambi dates back to her childhood, and she regularly reads the storybook to her 2-year-old son, Navy. Originally planning to name her daughter Paloma, Indy changed her mind after meeting the baby and being struck by her “sweet, curious nature” and “big, brown eyes,” reminiscent of the beloved cartoon character.

Despite the surprise from extended family, Indy remains unapologetic about her unconventional choice. Even though Love Islander Molly-Mae also named her newborn Bambi, Indy sees it as a delightful coincidence rather than a concern.

The TikTok mom shared her lightning-strike moment when the name Bambi felt just right. She dismisses the online criticism, emphasizing that unique names are trendy, citing examples like Rivers, Bears, Forests, Stormis, and Wolfs.

Indy reflects on the evolving trend of names, stating, “Bambi is going to fit right in. I’d be more concerned giving my kid a name from the 1900s. People will criticize anything these days, so at least give them something to talk about.” With a carefree attitude, Indy Clinton embraces the uniqueness of her daughter’s name, contributing to the contemporary trend of distinctive baby names.
