Normalize naming kids after something you love

Goodnight, Fort Worth.

We know we’re at the top of your baby name list.

Last week, we jumped on the “normalize naming kids after something you love” social media trend. We proposed some of our favorite Fort Worth icons + garnered humorous name suggestions from our readers.

Destination designations

You can’t go wrong with taking baby Cultural District, Magnolia, Trinity Duck Pond, or Marine Creek Trail for a tour of their namesake.

Model monikers

We’re betting that Forest Park Miniature Railroad, Stockyards Twice-daily Cattle Drive, and Bass Hall Angel Sculpture will be the only kid with that name in their kindergarten class.

Nutritious nicknames

If you’re expecting a new family member and feeling a little peckish, don’t sleep on Coco Shrimp, Buffalo Bros, Buc-ee’s, or Salsa Limon.

Beverage bylines

Make sure you get your little Cherry Coffee, Tarantula Tiki Lounge, or Tulane’s Fort Worth a drink of water before bed.

If you do name your kid FTWtoday, please let us know. They will automatically be signed up for free newsletters for life.
