All About TikTok ‘Tradwife’ Nara Smith’s Unique Baby Names

When you hear the name “Nara Smith,” two things likely come to mind: her hypnotic TikTok videos— where she makes everything from bubblegum to Oreos to Capri Sun from scratch—and her now-signature, super-unique kids' names. The model and her husband, fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, have three children whose names are sure to stand out in future classrooms: Rumble, Slim, and Whimsy.

Nara has more than 10 million followers on TikTok and 4 million on Instagram. She has also partnered with major brands like Marc Jacobs, posed with Lucky for GQ, and appeared at Milan Fashion Week. Whether her influence will extend to baby name trends remains to be seen, but Nara Smith's kids' names are certainly a hot topic of conversation.

Ahead, learn more about the names Lucky and Nara Smith chose for their children, including those they almost used for youngest, Whimsy.

In a TikTok video, the model shared some of the names she and Lucky considered for their third child, including Halo, Plum, Dottie, Dusk, Flick, and Mercer.

“These might be a little out there,” Nara said. “A little bit more controversial, but in case someone needs any ideas for their kids…” She also revealed that Whimsy’s name was almost Tink, with Bow as the middle name.

Nara and Lucky Smith's Impact

Nara and Lucky’s children’s names have sparked a conversation about unique baby names, with online name communities and social media weighing in on their choices and comparing them to everything from cereal to diet drinks to cocktail names. Nara’s Instagram and TikTok comments are also filled with discussion, with some followers praising her picks while others question how the names will sound when the kids become adults.

The couple is also polarizing online, though Nara gets the brunt of the pushback, often being accused of being a “tradwife.” She has addressed those rumors directly. “I’m not a trad wife. I’m a working mum,” she told The Sunday Times. “I’ve addressed it several times, but people still want to run with that narrative. I wanted kids, but I did not want to compromise my career … Taking care of my family makes me happy but I can do that and work—it doesn’t have to be one or the other.”

Both Nara and Lucky are Mormon, though Nara, who joined the faith when she married, has said she is "not a hardcore Mormon" and did not marry in the temple. While Mormon families often choose unique names or spellings for their children, neither Nara nor Lucky has said whether that influenced their choices.

Unique Celebrity Baby Names Are Not New

Unique celebrity baby names are nothing new. In the ‘70s, rocker Frank Zappa named his children Moon Unit and Dweezil, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter's name, Apple, ushered in a new era of headline-making names, like Pilot Inspektor, Audio Science, and Moxie Crimefighter. 

Today, these unconventional baby names are par for the course. Kylie Jenner initially named her son Wolf before changing it to Aire, while Elon Musk and Grimes famously named their first child X Æ A-Xii. These days, it’s almost more surprising when a celebrity gives their child a “normal" name.

The Future of Unique Baby Names

There are no rules for naming children, and if the parents and their child are happy with the choice, then it’s really nobody’s business. Many parents want a name that stands out amidst the sea of Liams and Sophias, which often requires some creativity. (We’ve got some great ideas for unique names for boys and girls to get you started.) 

Nara Smith’s kids' names reflect a rising trend of parents choosing names that don't appear on the Social Security list of popular baby names. Names like River, Wilder, Nova, and Luna have been popular for years, and parents have long embraced outdoorsy monikers like Coast, Lake, and Banks. While Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy Lou may feel more “future fashion model” than traditional nature-inspired names, the Smith family appears to be leading us into a whole new era of baby names—and blazing the trail along the way.
