A baby named after a Pokemon monster? No thanks

Pokémon Go has literally taken over people’s lives, yes, literally.

After a spate of armed robberies, pranks, car crashes and what not — all thanks to the latest Pokémon Go mania — people are now naming their babies after Pokémon characters. How crazy is that?

US parenting website BabyCenter has seen a remarkable increase in baby names inspired from the Pokémon franchise. According to the website, which tracks baby names, Roselia, Ash, Onyx and Eevee have shot in popularity ever since the augmented-reality game Pokémon Go became the new cool.

Roselia and Ash are still pretty decent names, to be honest. But Bulbasaur? It isn’t exactly clear yet how many parents are going to name their babies after the sick green monster, but the possibility cannot entirely be ruled out. For all we know, a child named Bulbasaur may already be playing somewhere in the world right now. Wartortle, Butterfree, Pidgeotto, Rattata? All we can hope for the future babies’ sake is, no. Just no.

Here’s how some of the Pokémon-inspired names have risen in popularity from last year, according to BBC:

Roselia - up 5,859 spots

Onyx - up 2,184

Star - up 2,040

Eevee - up 1,377

Ivy – up 1,287

Ash - up 248

Shay - up 64
