The Baby Name Chalkboard List meme is a satire of a popular social media trend where expectant parents—often influencers—display a curated list of potential baby names on a chalkboard or letterboard. The meme took off as the internet began to mock the trend of 'unique' names, often dubbed 'tragedeighs,' which feature excessive Y's, silent letters, or bizarre phonetic spellings. Users typically fill the chalkboard with increasingly ridiculous names, ranging from misspelled common names to completely random objects like food or household appliances. It captures the intersection of 'basic' influencer culture and the competitive nature of modern naming conventions, serving as a humorous critique of performative parenting on platforms like Pinterest and Instagram.
