Chanel Iman’s baby name pick isn’t as popular as it once was
But the model mom may be bringing it back.
It’s a girl for Chanel Iman!
Iman and her husband, New York Giants football player Sterling Shepard, welcomed their daughter into the world on August 10 and called her Cali Clay Shepard. “You were worth every push [and] every contraction,” the proud mama captioned an Instagram photo of the happy family.
The popularity of the name Cali has declined since the name peaked in 2014, when it was ranked 201 on the Social Security Administration’s list of the most popular baby names. It’s since fallen to 288. (The alternative spelling made popular by a character on Grey’s Anatomy, Callie, ranks higher, at 188, but also peaked in 2014).
The popularity of her name may be waning, but little Cali herself is already very popular online. She’s four days old and her Instagram account already has 7,600 followers.
It makes sense that Cali is already active on Instagram (well, her parents are active on her account) as her mama announced her pregnancy on the platform back on Mother’s Day.
Congrats to Iman and Shepard on baby Cali’s arrival! We can’t wait to see more beautiful baby pictures on Instagram. ?
