Baby name trends come and go, and aesthetic names for baby boys and girls are hugely popular right now. You may have even given your baby an aesthetic name without even realizing it. Although you may think this trend, popularized on social media apps like TikTok and Instagram, will be a short-lived one, giving your baby an aesthetic name simply means refusing to adhere to any conventional naming rules.
