Ballerina Farms’ Hannah Neeleman Admits She Still Hasn’t Picked Name for Baby No. 9 Over a Month After Giving Birth

Hannah Neeleman, a well-known influencer behind the popular account Ballerina Farm, celebrated the arrival of her ninth child, a baby girl, on March 5. Despite the joy of welcoming their newest family member, she and her husband, Daniel Neeleman, are grappling with the challenging task of naming their daughter more than a month post-birth.

In a recent post shared via Instagram video, Hannah confided that they still have not settled on a name, describing the process as daunting yet exciting. “Naming children is not for the faint of heart, but we’re getting closer,” she wrote, expressing her struggle amidst a plethora of choices.

Currently, the couple is considering several names including Beatrice, Bonnie, Sylvette, and Dani. Hannah noted that the abundance of appealing options has made their decision even more complicated. “I think part of our problem is we have a really good name list going,” she explained, with Daniel agreeing that it’s “a little too good” for their own good.

The naming process has extended to involve their eight other children, turning it into a family affair. However, Hannah added a touch of humour to the situation, clarifying that it was “not a democracy,” and that ultimately, she and Daniel would make the final call. They also found it challenging to introduce a chosen name only to receive feedback from their children, which sometimes led to compelling objections.

In her latest update, Hannah revealed that the family had started calling the baby Imogen for the past few days and felt positive about the name. However, she tempered expectations by stating, “If it sticks, then we’ll announce it soon. If not, I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up. So we’re just keeping it chill.”

Hannah, who runs a farm in Utah, first hinted at her pregnancy in an Instagram advertisement for Ballerina Farm’s Farmer Protein Powder. As her pregnancy progressed, she documented her journey, sharing insights into her fitness routine while expecting. In one caption, she mentioned the increasing difficulty of each successive pregnancy and expressed a desire to enjoy the experience while staying active.

Since the birth of their daughter, Hannah and Daniel have been navigating life with nine children, including six daughters. The couple remains focused on raising their family while integrating their personal lives into the public eye.

The decision about a name remains a journey for the Neelemans, reflecting not only their personal preferences but also the inclusive nature of their family unit. As they consider their options, the excitement surrounding the name choice adds yet another layer to their expanding family story.

As many parents can attest, choosing a name for a newborn is often fraught with emotion and significance, and this instance is no different for the Neelemans. Their candid approach to sharing this aspect of their lives has resonated with followers who appreciate their blend of humour, openness, and familial involvement in the decision-making process.

In the days ahead, it will be interesting to see whether the name Imogen will be officially adopted, or if there will be further developments in the Neelemans’ naming saga. For now, they continue to embrace the joys and challenges of parenthood, with their growing family at the heart of everything they do.
