They say inspiration is all around us. You may not have to look further than your local IKEA.

It might seem like a ridiculous idea at first but according to Refinery 29, a new emerging source for names is your IKEA catalog. It has a wide variety of exotic Scandinavian names that are gender neutral so it relieves the stress of having to choose gender-specific names. Starting to sound better?

Die Hard IKEA fans will be thrilled at this new trend, as will 90% of the population that loves Scandi-style. Some of the most popular IKEA inspired baby names are:

Malm

Tarva

Ivar

Stig

Stefan

Tobias

Norna

Malinda

Mydal

Just to name a few. Already a lot of these could work for a baby boy or girl. Would you name your child after IKEA furniture? Let us know @theMRLshow
