Are these names chic or just waiting to be turned into a nickname ending in “pants”? Let’s break it down.
Choosing a baby name could often feel like picking out a pair of sneakers that either tells the world you're the coolest person on the block or the one stuck in the nineties without a backward glance. Today, we venture boldly (and a little bit brazenly) into the wild world of baby names and dissect the appeal or pitfalls of our randomly chosen names: Drake for boys and Luna for girls. Prepare for an exhilarating deep dive, best served with a latte and a slightly judgmental side-eye. 🕶️☕✨
Drake: The Name That Just Makes You Want To Say “Started From the Bottom”

Trust us, this name isn’t started from the bottom, it’s soaring up lists faster than you can say "Champagne Papi."

Lucky for you, Mama
-to-Be, Drake doesn’t rhyme with anything truly dastardly. Sure, your kid might hear “drake is fake” from a tempestuous toddler, but we’re pretty sure they'll be poised in confidence, using their mop (or slick) of hair to divert any playground villain.3 Famous people with this name?
