Capri, Romee, Nyla and Sayl

In a viral video with 1.8 million views, Sydney May Crouch revealed she was “dead set” on the moniker Nola — until she wasn’t — followed by Capri, Romee, Arie and Nyla.

“I really, really, really, really like this name,” she said of Nyla. “I like ‘N’ names.”

That would explain the next option on her “unisex list”: Novi.

“I’ve only ever seen one baby on TikTok with this name,” said Crouch, who boasts more than 239,000 followers on the platform. 

Then, last but not least, came Saylor.

“My boyfriend just can’t shake the fact that a sailor is someone that drives a boat, so that probably will never be used, but I think it’s just a beautiful name,” explained Crouch, who eventually named her daughter Ocean.

While the new mom gushed over the list of adorable monikers, viewers offered mixed reviews.

Several users fawned over the name choices, while others criticized Crouch for her “bizarre” preferences.

“Took me until my baby was born to truly understand the saying ‘Remember you’re naming an adult, not just a baby,'” one person commented.

“Capri like a caprisun drink,” another quipped.

'Influencer baby names scary me'

“Influencer baby names scare me,” one user wrote.

“All of them are soo cute! But some of them don’t sound like adult names like they only sound like baby names,” someone else argued.

In a subsequent clip with 1 million views, Crouch revealed the “boy names” she loved but won’t be using include Grayson, Sevyn, Ave, Cree and Jett.

The Post reached out to Crouch for comment.

Unique baby names are trending online

Unique baby names have become a point of contention online, causing a stir on TikTok, Reddit and Facebook.

Each year, experts attempt to predict what monikers will reign supreme, and which ones will get tossed.

Pop culture commonly heavily influences the process, according to the parenting website Nameberry, which said little ones are often named for prominent figures, songs and musical artists.
