Choosing a child's name can reveal personal biases towards names linked to people or characters. Many millennial parents associate baby names with iconic moments from '90s and 2000s pop culture. These names embody confidence, fun, and uniqueness, making them appealing choices for naming children. Examples like Lizzie, inspired by Lizzie McGuire, and Clarissa, from Clarissa Explains It All, highlight the playful and brave qualities parents might want to pass on to their children.
Choosing a name for your child is kind of a surreal experience. You suddenly realize there are tons of baby names you hate: names you associate with people you didn't like or bad characters in your favorite shows, movies, and books.
These names represent some big moments in '90s and 2000s pop culture, and they also happen to be cool baby names. They have spunk, they have a layer of fun, they have brave and strong vibes - they're just cool names.
Lizzie is short for Elizabeth, but I think the nickname works just as well on its own, and it gives an incredibly playful but confident vibe - just like our favorite Disney Channel girl.
Clarissa made me feel like I could do and be anything. She was totally her own person, genuine and full of confidence. That energy should absolutely be conveyed to your own baby girl with the name Clarissa.
