Messi, Metallica and Mini Cooper: Banned Baby Names continued with Lauren Edwards

After our viral banned baby names debate took over TikTok, Lauren Edwards is back for the season finale and things get even more unhinged.

This week we’re diving into the world’s weirdest banned baby names, from Burger King and Batman to Mini Cooper, FIFA and Fish & Chips. We also discuss Etsy witches, tarot readings, fan edit culture, Off Campus obsession, situationships, dating disasters and the Irish man who asked me to become his “dirty little secret”.

Lauren shares stories from her acting career, we unpack the funniest tradie nicknames ever invented, and I reveal the brutal conversation that finally ended my 18-month situationship.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can legally name your child Metallica, why men refuse to go to the doctor, or what happens when a situationship meets its inevitable demise, this episode is for you.
