Haley is looking for a baby name in a cemetery
And she found her baby's name on a gravestone
No, not Hailey Bieber (who is of course pregnant herself, this is her crazy cravings), no worries, but one Haley Hodge, an American content creator (have you also noticed that influencers suddenly dislike this title and en masse are living as content creators?) who is pregnant with her fourth child. On TikTok she shared a video in which she searched for a name for her fourth child in a cemetery.
It garnered 2.7 million views and a lot of criticism. People had opinions about it. I totally understand that. On the other hand: searching for a name for a child is a special and time-consuming task. I only read biographies of extraordinary women hoping to find the name I was looking for, and I absorbed the credits of every movie until the end, because who knows, maybe the third assistant of the editor had just the name I was searching for.
That you go to a cemetery to look at the extraordinary lives of people who have gone a bit further, Haley finds a fitting idea. Maybe she shouldn't have made a TikTok with a wide smile in front of a row of gravestones, then her action might have been better received by humanity.
Fortunately, she did find a name that was also shared on TikTok. Haley's fourth child will be named Salem. That means peaceful, safe, and also complete. This indicates that there will be no fifth child and we won't see any cemetery inspiration videos for a while.
