Could someone trademark a baby name?

I recently came across an interesting question - could someone actually trademark a baby name? Upon digging further, I discovered that while names can be trademarked, they need to be associated with a specific product or service. So, technically, a baby name can't be trademarked unless it's being used for a commercial purpose. It's reassuring to know that our personal choices for baby names won't be limited by trademarks! However, it does raise an interesting debate about the commercialization of names and its potential impact on our society.
