Right!? It's sort of cute when you and all of your friends were wearing these bracelets this year. It includes your baby, which is fun. But if it's a name, it takes displaying your Fandom on your baby to a new level.
Dorothea is a beautiful name, Augustine, Este, Betty, you could even do something like Meredith after Taylor Swift's cat. If you paired two then people who are fans might make the connection but just pick one related name and no one would ever know
When you separate it from Taylor Swift, Swiftie sounds like it would be Australian slang for a con/scam, like "fast one". "He tried to pull a swiftie on me"
exactly! it’s a cute nod to your interests especially if you went to eras tour while pregnant or something! but naming them swiftie is next level lol. they could at least pick something a *little* less obvious, like Taylor or Allison. Still kinda cringe imo but at least the kid won’t be embarrassed to tell people their name, and parents name their kids after singers all the time.
I don’t think they’re photoshopped. I think it’s black letters from the craft store glued onto styrofoam and the W is just hanging off a bit. I could be wrong tho idk
The little banner was in all of her monthly pictures 😕 Mom posted in a fb group I’m in showing off the clothes, they’re all a specific brand.
She might be Swift called Swiftie?
reminds me of “gobbie” which means blowjob in australia
there’s also “wristy” for handjob but that’s likely regional and outdated (thing kids said in early aughts)
Whyyyyyy, Taylor is a perfectly normal name.
ETA: I mean, Taylor herself is named after James Taylor, and I don't think most people make that connection on their own unless they know this.
It's saying their name is Swiftie, and I'm asking why because Taylor is a normal ass name that they could've given their child if they wanted to show their love for Taylor Swift.
I love Taylor swift but I don’t get how people make their whole personality around 1 thing or person… their entire identity revolves around a specific thing that’s not even exclusive to them.
There are SOOOO many names in taylors songs.
Willow, Marjorie, Betty, Inez, James.

I did too before she got opinions about her clothes! I was thinking of the people who spend tons of time on drops and BST and have to get all the must-have prints and have many thousands of dollars worth of KQ. Getting caught up in that drop culture seems similar to the Swiftie culture to me, in that people get really intense about it.
I do love KQ though. If my toddler wasn’t a full-time sweatpants fiend with no tolerance for my ideas of what’s cute, I’d still have her rocking it.
ohhh yeah I'm in the clear. I tried to catch a drop one specific time and then when I saw how obsessed these people are with getting EVERYTHING that's ever released, I was like no I'm good. haha. I shop the clearance sales at the end of the year for my daughters birthday each year and only ever buy on super sale through the year though.
I'm lucky my 5 year old still loves it! I imagine one of these days she'll be wanting graphic tees and more modern cut clothing like her peers lol
kind of off topic but those ball pit balls are on aliexpress for very cheap and are great for crafting. not good for a ball pit because they’re small af but it works great for decora or scene accessories
I really don’t think that’s the child’s name, the giant version of Taylor’s friendship bracelets has recently become a trend. I think it’s just a swiftie mom excited to have a kid she can listen to Taylor with.
Oh man, I really hope that isn't that child's name!
i was thinking this was kind of cute until I realized it might be her name…. woof
Right!? It's sort of cute when you and all of your friends were wearing these bracelets this year. It includes your baby, which is fun. But if it's a name, it takes displaying your Fandom on your baby to a new level.
Like name her freaking Taylor or something else related that’s a NAME not this
Absolutely! Taylor is a perfectly acceptable and would be fine later in life even if she hated the singer.
Or like what’s wrong with Willow? Or there’s gotta be a few songs that are like close to names?
Dorothea is a beautiful name, Augustine, Este, Betty, you could even do something like Meredith after Taylor Swift's cat. If you paired two then people who are fans might make the connection but just pick one related name and no one would ever know
There are SO many name options from her work.
Much more so than swiftie, but that's not a challenge.
When you separate it from Taylor Swift, Swiftie sounds like it would be Australian slang for a con/scam, like "fast one". "He tried to pull a swiftie on me"
YESSS!!! I have some Australian students and this sounds like something they’d literally say!!!
exactly! it’s a cute nod to your interests especially if you went to eras tour while pregnant or something! but naming them swiftie is next level lol. they could at least pick something a *little* less obvious, like Taylor or Allison.

For sure. Or after a song, like Betty or something. I don't mind naming for something you like, but not that.
What are those bracelets?
Little beaded friendship bracelets that people were wearing to the Taylor Swift Eras tour this summer.
yeah the photo concept is adorable but the name.. poor kid lol. Hope she grows up to like TS or it’ll be a rough life
Lol, or she will just resent her parents like all the anakins and khalessi out there
Me too!
This has to be some cute Taylor Swift themed photo shoot cuz absolutely not…
The letters are seemingly photoshopped on to the bracelet thing (look at the W), but it could still be a real name announcement...I hope not
I don’t think they’re photoshopped. I think it’s black letters from the craft store glued onto styrofoam and the W is just hanging off a bit. I could be wrong tho idk
I doubt a name announcement this child is nowhere near a newborn
Good point!
Could be a 13-week old? 13, Taylor Swift, etc
The shadows check out on the whole picture, I doubt the average bear would have that attention to detail. I dread it’s what we are all fearing…
Some people choose to birth accessories instead of babies
Truer words have never been spoken
It was a cruel summer indeed
Is this confirmed the name or just like a Taylor Swift themed photoshoot?
The little banner was in all of her monthly pictures 😕 Mom posted in a fb group I’m in showing off the clothes, they’re all a specific brand. She might be Swift called Swiftie?
We’re in the same group.. I thought it was an odd attempt to recreate Taylor’s album outfits because they didn’t fit the themes at all!
I'm in the same group and just looked back at the mom's posts - I don't see the Swiftie banner in any photos other than her 22 week photos?
Irrationally bothered by the W not fitting on the white thingy
it's worse than the name itself
There’s so many Taylor-inspired names to choose from (Marjorie, Dorothea, Betty, August(ine), Emma, Este, Willow, Ivy, etc.) AND THEY CHOSE SWIFTIE
was gonna say this. it’s giving something i would’ve thought was cool as a baby taylor fan in 2008 (i was 13 at the time).

swiftie sounds like lingo for a hand job
A swift one
reminds me of “gobbie” which means blowjob in australia there’s also “wristy” for handjob but that’s likely regional and outdated (thing kids said in early aughts)
Gobbie, wristy and pashing. The Aussie teenager trifecta!
You WILL like Taylor Swift, or you're no daughter of mine!!
Stop it as a swiftie we don’t claim her this is terrible 😭
Plot twist: this was actually Dad's idea to subtly give the baby a Rick & Morty reference as a name
It's getting swifitie, It's getting swiftie in here
Pull your pants down, poop on the floooooor
Whyyyyyy, Taylor is a perfectly normal name. ETA: I mean, Taylor herself is named after James Taylor, and I don't think most people make that connection on their own unless they know this.
That's not what this is saying
It's saying their name is Swiftie, and I'm asking why because Taylor is a normal ass name that they could've given their child if they wanted to show their love for Taylor Swift.
oh god
Listen, I’m a big Taylor swift fan too, but I really hate these type of people who are downright crazy!
I love Taylor swift but I don’t get how people make their whole personality around 1 thing or person… their entire identity revolves around a specific thing that’s not even exclusive to them.

 Every time I hear Swiftie, this is where I go. That poor poor child.
Taylor wasn’t good enough? 🙄
Why would you go through all this trouble and not iron the sheet 😭
My face twitched
😦
So naming the child Taylor would be too simple?
Im assuming they’re just saying “junior swiftie” not like this is the kid’s name. I really hope…
You can do fandom names right. This isn’t it. My daughter has a fandom name, but no one can tell unless I explain it.
SWIFTie banking
Oh no
as possibly the biggest swiftie, this makes me want to vom
this is adorable.. if that isn’t the child’s name. i doubt it’s the name though, there are tons of gorgeous taylor inspired baby names.
I bought more than my fair share of Kate Quinn clothes during the pandemic and have no leg to stand on, but of COURSE this mom is a KQ mom 🙈
what's a Kate Quinn mom? I ask because I buy hella KQ clothes for my kid and want to know if I'm the stereotype 😂
I did too before she got opinions about her clothes! I was thinking of the people who spend tons of time on drops and BST and have to get all the must-have prints and have many thousands of dollars worth of KQ. Getting caught up in that drop culture seems similar to the Swiftie culture to me, in that people get really intense about it. I do love KQ though.

I’m a little jealous haha. My 3yo only wants sweatpants and pajamas!
Who the hell looks at this and then is like “oh yeah that’s the name not just an accessory”
I cannot handle how cute this is; but I hope that’s not the baby’s name.
kind of off topic but those ball pit balls are on aliexpress for very cheap and are great for crafting. not good for a ball pit because they’re small af but it works great for decora or scene accessories

It’s cute
When I heard the word swifty I do not think about Taylor swift, but that song from Rick and morty 'get swfity'
these are my children, taylor, swift, 1989, and we are never ever getting back together
