Name a Woman Trend

The Name a Woman Trend, also known as Tell Me a Woman's Name or Ask Your Man to Name a Woman, refers to a trend on TikTok in which women ask their husbands, boyfriends, brothers and fathers (etc.) to name a woman. If the man doesn't respond with the name of his wife, girlfriend, mother or sister (etc.) then the woman should "start a fight," according to the trend's creator. Another part of the trend was that men typically responded with "Hillary Clinton" which was notarized by streamer Ludwig. The trend was inspired by a clip from Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner. TikTokers picked up the concept in late 2023. Overall, the trend was similar to the precursor Roman Empire Trend.
