The "Name a Woman" challenge that went viral on TikTok is essentially a playful trend where men are asked to "name a woman." The humor stems from the idea that the "correct" answer should ideally be the name of their significant other, but many men respond with unexpected or random names instead, leading to funny and sometimes awkward moments.

The challenge gained widespread attention after it was initially popularized by TikTok videos, including a notable clip where a man responded with "Hillary Clinton"—a name that many viewers found amusing but also somewhat predictable. As more videos surfaced, various men gave responses like "Susan B. Anthony," "Helen Keller," or even "Rebecca," sparking laughter and debate online over what the "right" answer should be【6†source】【7†source】.

The trend even inspired content creators like Tania Martinez to encourage women to ask their partners the question as a fun test of attention and loyalty, with some suggesting that if a man doesn't say his partner's name, it could be cause for a humorous confrontation【7†source】【8†source】.

It's lighthearted and humorous, though its viral nature also led to some playful criticism about how little attention some people pay to their significant others' names in the heat of the moment! You can find more examples and reactions on TikTok under the hashtag #nameawoman.
