Mom goes viral for naming her child after a Disney World ride TikTok: vegangranolamom\/Wikimedia CommonsA mom has gone viral after posting a video saying goodbye to her favorite ride at Disney World \u2014 Splash Mountain \u2014 in which she claims to have named her daughter after the ride. Originally posting to TikTok, Kara, who goes by vegangranolamom on the video app, shared a video of herself with her baby daughter, saying \u201cGoodbye Splash\u201d in the video thumbnail. In the video itself, Kara said: \u201cThe ride I named my daughter after shut down today at Disney I\u2019m so sad.\u201d The ride that had shut down that day was Splash Mountain, which led many to believe that Kara had actually named her daughter Splash Mountain. The comments for that video were turned off, presumably as people questioned why she would name her child Splash Mountain. Before that, though, Kara responded to one of the comments with another video, as she was accused of naming her baby after a \u201cnotoriously racist movie,\u201d as debates around the origins of Splash Mountain \u2014 named after 1946 film Song of the South \u2014 continue. Kara cleared up the confusion, stating that her child isn\u2019t actually named Splash Mountain. \u201cHer name is not Splash Mountain, it\u2019s Briar,\u201d she explained. \u201cI got her name because I was looking at a baby name list on Pinterest, and it reminded me of the little Briar patch on the Splash Mountain ride.\u201d Many of the replies to that video were supporting Kara, offering alternative suggestions for if others ask about the baby\u2019s name\u2019s origin, such as Briar Rose, or Princess Aurora, from Sleeping Beauty. Others told her to \u201cignore the hate\u201d and that Briar is a beautiful name. There was clearly a big miscommunication here, with so many believing that Kara had really called her daughter Splash Mountain, but Briar does roll off the tongue a little better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
