Indy Clinton, a 25-year-old mom from Sydney, Australia, has been facing criticism online for naming her newborn daughter Bambi, after the beloved Disney character. Despite the backlash, Indy remains unfazed, standing by her unique choice.
As a popular TikTok creator, Indy has built a following sharing quirky videos featuring her family and herself. Recently, she took to the platform to reveal the inspiration behind her daughter’s name, coincidentally sharing the same name as Molly-Mae Hague’s baby daughter.
Indy’s love for Disney’s Bambi dates back to her childhood. She even reads the storybook to her 2-year-old son, Navy. When her daughter was born, Indy was struck by her sweet nature and big brown eyes, reminding her of the Disney character. She promptly ditched her original name choice, Paloma, and opted for Bambi instead.
Four months on, Indy’s extended family is still surprised by her unconventional name choice. However, Indy is adamant that Bambi is the perfect fit for her little one. She recalls the moment she decided on the name, saying it was like a lightning bolt striking.
While some people have criticized Molly-Mae’s daughter’s name on social media, Indy isn’t bothered by the negative comments. She believes unique names are the new trend, and Bambi will fit right in with other unconventional names like River, Bear, and Stormi.
Indy’s response to the criticism is carefree, saying, “People will criticize anything these days, so at least give them something to talk about.” With her confidence and conviction, Indy is proving that she’s a mom who knows her mind and isn’t afraid to stand by her choices.
