Yup.

“Naming your baby after IKEA furniture might seem ridiculous at first glance, but don’t dismiss the idea!” says writer LucyBC in a blog post on the popular parenting website.

“IKEA is known for the charming Scandinavian names it gives its products and many work surprisingly well as baby names.”
