Influencer Mom Faces Major Backlash After Naming Her Newborn After This Disney Character

**Note: This story was originally reported in November 2023.**

Australian influencer Indy Clinton proudly named her daughter **Bambi**, just like *Love Island* star Molly-Mae Hague. Despite criticism Molly-Mae received online, Indy stood by the choice, calling it a name of “sweet, curious nature” inspired by her love for the Disney classic.

Originally planning to name her daughter Paloma, Indy changed her mind after reading *Bambi* to her first child and seeing the resemblance in her newborn’s big brown eyes. The coincidence with Molly-Mae’s choice didn’t bother her—instead, she said, “Great minds think alike.”

Unapologetic and bold, Indy dismissed critics, saying, “People will criticize anything these days, so at least give them something to talk about.” For her, **unique baby names** are more than a trend—they’re a celebration of individuality.
