Indy Clinton, a 25-year-old Australian mom, boldly named her newborn daughter Bambi, drawing inspiration from the classic Disney character and Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague’s choice for her child. Despite online criticism, Indy remains unfazed and unapologetic about her unique name choice. Indy gained fame on TikTok, where she shares her life and family.

Originally planning to name her daughter Paloma, Indy changed her mind after meeting the newborn and being reminded of Bambi’s “sweet, curious nature” and “big, brown eyes.” The decision struck her like lightning, leading her to abandon her initial baby name plans.

Now, four months old, Bambi’s name has sparked discussions online, mirroring Molly-Mae’s choice. Indy, however, embraces the trend of unique names, expressing indifference to critics and noting that distinctive names fit well with the modern trend. For her, Bambi is a perfect fit among names like Rivers, Bears, Forests, Stormis, and Wolfs, and she sees it as an opportunity to give people something to talk about in the evolving landscape of baby names.
