Name Your Baby Something Unusual And Watch Them Make It All About Themselves

Parents are no longer content to give their child the same name that everyone else has, and Science has a theory about it! “[R]esearchers suspect the uptick of unusual baby names could be a sign of a change in culture from one that applauded fitting in to today’s emphasis on being unique and standing out. When taken too far, however, this individualism could also lead to narcissism, according to study researcher Jean Twenge, of San Diego State University.” Twenge, who has already written a couple of books about narcissism, notes that, “There’s been this cultural shift toward focusing on the individual, toward standing out and being unique as opposed to fitting in with the group and following the rules. I think it is an indication of our culture becoming more narcissistic.” You hear that, Mahddyisen? Your folks are FUCKING YOU UP.
