My sole life ambition is to make it to my deathbed not knowing ANYTHING about Pokémon Go. I was doing well in this until US site BabyCentre published findings that indicate the newest source of baby name inspiration is... you've guessed it... Pokémon Go.
Blech. Kill me now.
So the buzz is that there's been a marked rise in popularity in the names of Pokémon characters and
BabyCentre also reported that about half of their registered users play Pokémon Go.
For the boys:
Ivy – Up 1,287 spots on this time last year.
Shay – Up 64 spots on this time last year.
Ash (who is the main character in Pokemon) – Up 248 spots on this time last year.
For the girls:
Roselia – Up 5,859 spots on this time last year.
Onyx – Up 2,184 spots on this time last year.
Eevee – Up 1,377 spots on this time last year.
Naming the progeny isn't the only way Pokémon Go parents can get behind the phenomenon, super funny mum
Dena Blizzard has created a hilarious spoof video of the App that we bet all mums wish existed.
As our Sharyn Hayden
recently reported:
Ladies and, well, ladies, I give you - Chardonnay Go!
If this App were real (and we really, really wish it was), it would allow you to locate available glasses on vino to sip all around your very own neighbourhood.
"Chardonnay is everywhere!" yells Dena happily in her hilarious online video.
She can be seen running from her house, all over the neighbourhood, in and out of a moving car and even into an unsuspecting neighbour's kitchen at one point.
"I love your garden!" she yells over her shoulder as she uses her 'App' to locate the next delicious glass of Chardonnay.
