Remember that character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens who *could* have been good at one point, but ended up being really, really bad?
Like hide-your-kids, hide-your-wife, hide-your-old-Jedi-master-and-all-the-other-Jedi bad.
Kylo-Ren's the child of Princess Leia and Han Solo, born under the name Ben Solo. He trained under Luke Skywalker to become a jedi and was led to the dark side by a host of vague, shady things and may have killed a ton of other Jedi students—which might get explored in The Last Jedi, set for release in the U.S. on Dec. 17.
TLDR: Kylo's killed a lot of people and is v dangerous.
Apparently the character inspired enough parents to name their children "Kylo" to make a relatively massive bump in the Social Security Administration's annual list of most popular baby names, according to the Associated Press.
According to the SSA list, there were 2,368 new baby Kylos waddling around in 2016, whereas THERE WERE ONLY 3,269 IN 2015.
MATH TIME
TOO MANY LIL KYLOS.
I'm not sure exactly why parents would want to run the risk of cursing both themselves and their families to a lifetime of tyranny by naming their children after someone nicknamed "The Jedi Killer," but… You do you?
Like, knock on wood that lil Kylo doesn't go all Sith-Lord-apologist after picking up fencing, archery, or a fucking butter knife for that matter.
Lil K keeps telling you to “DO IT" in a creepy voice, but won't tell you what it is or why he gets off on you doing his bidding? HUH.
Oh, lil Kylo's got attitude issues and tries to subjugate his classmates in an Imperial caste system? NO CORRELATION THERE, MOM AND DAD.
Wait, you're telling me your 6-month-old child keeps escaping his crib and replacing himself with a dummy that's actually an alien covered with a creepy baby mask while he hunts for power at night? YOU DON'T SAY.
He refused the puppy and the kitten and drags around a rat carcass he named "Lord Supreme"? WHAT A VICTIM YOU MUST BE.
Seriously though... Not something I stan. Unstannable. Let's root for literally any other name on that list, shall we?
