What’s Trending: Stranger Things leaves fans cold, baby names get creative & a dad stumbles into Monopoly glory

On What’s Trending with Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada, it’s a mix of endings, unexpected wins, and changing trends, from the highly anticipated Stranger Things finale that divided fans with its emotional highs, lingering plot holes, and unanswered questions, to a heart-warming real-life story of a Singapore dad who picked up Monopoly just to teach his daughter, only to become the nation’s Monopoly champion years later. And as pop culture continues to shape real life, even baby names aren’t spared, with 2026 parents ditching traditional picks in favour of fantasy, anime, literary, ancient-civilisation and showgirl-inspired names, proving that whether it’s TV finales, board games or naming the next generation, people are more willing than ever to take bold, unconventional turns.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
