About

X Is a Beautiful Name for A Girl refers to a phrasal template meme that was popularized online in the early 2020s. While jokes about "Clamydia" being a beautiful name for a girl have existed since at least the 2010s, memes about other satirical and inappropriate names for babies began making the rounds in subsequent years.

Origin

A blog post^[1] from January 2009 saw people discussing a list of diseases that could have made for good baby girl names. The list included words like Chlamydia, Anaesthesia and Syphilis. Jokes about how "Chlamydia" would make for a beautiful baby girl name in different circumstances were prevalent on Twitter / X in the early 2010s.^[2][3]

However, the earliest viral post following the phrasal template, "X is a beautiful name for a girl" is a May 2nd, 2020, post by X^[4] user @desusnice, gathering over 9,000 likes on a post that read, "lowkey insomnia is a beautiful name for a child."
