In addition, many were concerned about the name and expressed fears that the boy would be bullied at school because of it.
The mother announced her son’s name on social media, which surprised many people.
The brunette beauty, who recently claimed her son is half her size and has been called a “unit” by her doctor, shared a short video of herself holding her son as she makes her announcement.
The content creator wrote: ‘Revealing my 7-month-old’s VERY unique name.’

She then said: “My son is seven months old and I’ve never announced his name here before, so I thought I’d make a little announcement video.
“His name is… Grizzly Odell.”
The influencer added: “So Grizzly is his first name, Odell is his middle name.
“And we love it.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @chloesapianhas clearly caused quite a stir, considering the post was only shared six days ago but has already been viewed 291,400 times.
Social media users were divided over the unique name, with some loving it, others calling it the ‘worst’ name they’d ever heard.
Someone said: “That’s a really cool name!! My oldest son is called Rukus (as in “to cause a stir”).”
Another added: “I like the name, it’s very different.”
A third commented: “I love it!”
While someone else beamed: “I LOVE the name. But I like unique names.”
The meaning of the name Grizzly Odell
So, what does her son’s name actually mean?
Grizzly: The name “Grizzly” is often associated with the grizzly bear, a large species of brown bear found in North America.
The term ‘grizzly’ conjures up images of strength, ruggedness and a commanding presence.
Figuratively, it represents someone who is resilient, strong, and perhaps a little intimidating.
Odell: The name “Odell” is of Old English origin and means “woad hill” or “rich”.
Woad is a plant traditionally used to produce a blue dye. Hills often symbolize stability and prestige.
Therefore, “Odell” can symbolize a sense of prosperity and a strong foundation.
Combined meaning: The name “Grizzly Odell” can be interpreted in combination with other words as a symbol for a person who exudes both strength and stability, someone who is resilient and commands respect, yet down-to-earth and prosperous.
However, not everyone was equally positive about the little one’s nickname.
One user responded fiercely: “Don’t destroy his life, it’s unfair.”
God help him in school and as an adult. Poor child

A second wrote: “You do know babies grow up to be adults?? What adult wants to be called ‘Grizzly’?”
Someone else wrote: “Tell me his name is a joke right? Or is that his name?” future wrestling artist name.”
The Struggle of Choosing a Baby Name
CHLOE Morgan, a senior writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma when choosing a baby name…
I’m 35 weeks pregnant and the hardest part of pregnancy these past few months (apart from the insomnia and countless nighttime wetting!) has been coming up with a baby name.
The dilemmas are endless…
My partner and I had a private ultrasound to find out the gender as early as possible. Part of the reason for this was that we thought it would make choosing a baby name a lot easier, as we would only have to come up with a list of names for one gender instead of two.
How wrong we were…
I was overjoyed to find out I was pregnant with the baby girl I had dreamed of for so long. But because I was one of the last friends to get pregnant, I have had countless conversations with excited friends over the years about their favorite baby names…something I would like to undo without ever having heard.
Every friend comes up with at least 10 possible nicknames and I can’t help but feel like more names are out of the question, even though I know no one would object. It’s just my own problem!
This debate comes up over and over again on social media: can you choose the same name that was a ‘potential’ name for your friend’s baby?
It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always divided. And I don’t want to be THAT person.
While some argue that there are thousands of other names to choose from, others say that you should choose YOUR favorite. After all, there is no guarantee that person will ever have a child.
Then there’s the matter of finding a name you love… and then doing some research online and reading one negative comment among hundreds of positive ones that you just can’t let go of.
I made that same mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t tell because I don’t want to ruin it for others!)… and then I saw someone point out that the name constantly autocorrects on a phone to something rather rude.
So we went back to the drawing board.
Only five more weeks and it looks like our little girl will be called ‘baby girl’ for a while longer!
And another sighed: “God help him in school and as an adult. Poor child.”
Others wanted to show off their children’s unique names.
One mother confessed: “I like unique names, my son’s name is Knoxlar.”
While a second chimed in: “My son’s name is Onyx, I like unique names.”
