An Australian mom named Indy Clinton may only be twenty-five years old, but she knows what she wants when it comes to her newborn daughter’s name. After the 25-year-old mom from Sydney, Australia gave birth to her newborn daughter, she decided to name the child Bambi, after the classic Disney character and in honor of Molly-Mae Hague’s newborn child, Bambi – but lots of people online have shared their hatred for this chosen baby name and mom Indy Clinton doesn’t care one lick about their criticisms.
Indy skyrocketed to fame on the Chinese social media platform, TikTok, where she shares quirky videos that feature her sexy looks and her family. Clinton turned to TikTok to reveal that she could not “believe the coincidence” that she named her daughter Bambi after Love Islander Molly-Mae announced the same baby name on Instagram, revealing that she had named her baby daughter Bambi as well.
Indy has loved Disney’s movie Bambi since she was a little girl. She also purchased a copy of Bambi in a storybook, which she regularly reads to her 2-year-old son, Navy. Because she loved Bambi so much, it was only natural for the 25-year-old Aussie mom to name her newborn daughter after her favorite Disney character from the classic movie.
Originally, Indy planned to name her newborn daughter Paloma. However, she met the girl and was immediately struck by her “sweet, curious nature,” not to mention her “big, brown eyes.” She was immediately reminded of the Disney cartoon character and threw all her baby name plans out the window to name her child Bambi instead of Paloma.
Indy’s daughter is now four months old, but her extended family is still surprised that the TikTok mom chose to name her human child after a Disney cartoon baby deer.
“Four months ago, when I was giving birth, I was convinced Bambi was the most unique, unusual name that nobody would use.
“Good on Molly-Mae, though. It looks like great minds think alike. We were set on calling her Paloma at first. That was her name, and nothing was going to change that. But I was reading the book to Navy one night, and it came to me.”
The TikTok mom claimed that the moment she decided to name her newborn daughter after the Disney character was like lightning striking.
“I sat up and yelled, ‘what about Bambi?’ and from then on, it stuck.”
People have criticized Molly-Mae’s daughter’s name on social media. Although people are criticizing the same name that Indy chose for her daughter, now four months old, she doesn’t care if people don’t like it because she absolutely loves the Disney character name for her child.
“You know, unique names are the new trend,” the 25-year-old mom said. “Bambi is going to fit right in with the Rivers, Bears, Forests, Stormis, and Wolfs. I’d be more concerned calling my kid a name from the 1900s. People will criticize anything these days, so at least give them something to talk about.”
I’M 74 AND ADOPTED A GERMAN SHEPHERD WHOSE OWNERS WANTED TO EUTHANIZE.
The phone call came unexpectedly, my son’s voice laced with concern. “Mom,” he said, “you won’t believe this. There’s a beautiful German Shepherd at the shelter, and they were about to euthanize him!” My heart sank. How could anyone even consider such a thing?
He explained that the young couple who brought him in, the ones who had raised him from a puppy, were moving and simply couldn’t “handle a big dog anymore.” The thought of them discarding Hunter like a piece of unwanted furniture filled me with a rage I hadn’t felt in years.
“I’ll take him,” I declared, my voice firm.
“Mom,” my son hesitated, “He’s a big dog. Are you sure you can handle him? You’re not getting any younger.”
“I’ve had big dogs before,” I retorted, my voice rising. “And besides, I’m not going to let some irresponsible people decide his fate.”
The next day, I drove to the shelter, my heart pounding. The sight of Hunter, standing forlornly in his kennel, almost broke my heart. He was magnificent, with a thick, jet-black coat and eyes that held a hint of sadness. As I approached, he whined softly, his tail thumping against the kennel wall.
From the moment I stepped into his kennel, I knew he was meant to be mine. He nuzzled my hand, his fur soft against my skin, and I felt an instant connection. The shelter staff assured me he was well-behaved and gentle, and I knew it was true. I took him home that day, a wave of relief washing over me.
Life with Hunter has been a joy. He follows me everywhere, his presence a constant comfort. He curls up at my feet during the day, his head resting on my lap, and sleeps soundly beside my bed at night, a watchful guardian. He’s a gentle giant, never once causing any trouble. He’s the best listener, patiently enduring my rambling stories and offering silent companionship.
Sometimes, I catch him watching me, his golden eyes filled with a deep affection that melts my heart. I know he knows he was rescued, that he understands he has a home now, a safe haven. And in those moments, I feel a profound sense of gratitude.
Hunter has brought a renewed sense of purpose to my life. He’s taught me about unconditional love, about the importance of giving back, and about the resilience of the human-animal bond. He’s a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, always a chance for redemption. And most importantly, he’s my family now, and I will never let him go.
This story emphasizes the emotional connection between humans and their pets, highlighting themes of rescue, companionship, and the importance of providing a loving home for animals in need.
