My baby’s unique name means shopping around Valentine’s is a nightmare – her pram’s always loaded with anything I see
A MUM who gave her baby daughter a very unique name has admitted taking her shopping around Valentine’s Day is a complete nightmare.
She took to TikTok to share her haul, as she said she just can’t resist buying things themed to her little girl’s moniker.
“My daughter’s name is Love, which makes shopping anywhere this time of year extremely damaging to our bank account because anything that has hearts or is pink or says Love is coming home with us!” she laughed.
She then took her daughter to her nearest Target store to see what romantic items they had in store.
“The good thing is I’m not getting a shopping cart,” she said.
“I’m only using the space we have under the stroller, so that should keep my shopping at a limit!”
She began with an ‘I (heart) you’ vase, as well as an adorable heart-shaped rug, some red and pink water bottle charms adorned with hearts, and some mugs with heart-shaped handles.
The mum then picked up some paint your own wooden hearts for her oldest daughter to do, before moving onto the clothing section.
Once there, she was immediately excited by what she found – a fluffy pair of cream PJs with red hearts on them.
“Oh my goodness. Lovey, we have to have this! You’re coming home with me!” she said.
There were even some heart-shaped water teethers that were perfect for her youngest, who is in the middle of teething, as well as a heart garland to go in baby Love’s room.
She showed the pile of bits in the base of the pram as she added: “I did not spend too much, I didn’t go too crazy, because I’m pretty sure we’re gonna be back again before Valentine’s Day!”
She captioned the video: “I’m scared for how much I would’ve got if I had used a cart!”
And in the comments section, lots of parents admitted they’d done the same with items themed around their kids’ names.
“My daughter’s name is Stormi so we get all cloud things!” one wrote.
“My daughter’s name is Story and she loves books – she has a huge book shelf in her room filled with them,” another added.

Nöel Wolf, linguistic expert Babbel said: “We predict a move towards shorter names, with a playful quality – such as Arlo, or Isla – reflecting the current trend towards minimalism in modern life.
“Names that are traditionally heard as nicknames, such as Freddie or Theo, are making a comeback, signalling a move away from formality.
“Additionally, we will see a rise of nature-inspired names, such as River, Lily, and Ivy. And a trend in recent years that we also expect to continue, is the rise of classical names, for example, Margot, Dorothy, August.”
“My daughter is Genabee so anything Bee comes with me!” a third laughed.
“My daughter’s name is Sunny and the amount of sun outfits she was gifted was so funny,” someone else admitted.
“I just told my fiance the other day I want to name our next one Sunny!” the mum replied.
“My oldest daughter’s name is Rocket and let me tell youuu the amount of little rocket ship/space trinkets we have is insane!” another wrote.
