Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have influenced an entire generation of baby names.
As the 40-year-old Golden Globe nominee joined her Family Guy colleagues onstage at PaleyFest LA on Friday, she says it’s “so beautiful and so sweet” when she meets fans who named their children after her.
“I’ll tell you a funny story,” Kunis told co-star Seth Green People. ‘My children were in daycare. It was a hundred years ago, and there was an Ashton and a Mila.
‘They weren’t related people. They were two different little kids, two separate families,” she noted.
Kunis added, “This was the first day, and Ashton and I walked in… and there was some random Mila and some random baby Ashton, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is so cute.'”

The Black Swan actress said the encounter happened “so long ago” and the babies’ parents were apologetic.
“They said, ‘I’m so sorry,’” Kunis recalled. ‘And I thought, “No, it’s so cute.”’
She and Kutcher, 46, married in 2015, and they share daughter Wyatt Isabelle, 9, and 7-year-old son Dimitri Portwood.
Kunis also joined Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein on Friday for the Fox animated show’s 25th anniversary.
PaleyFest LA marked Kunis’ first red carpet appearance since it was revealed in September that they wrote letters in support of former That ’70s Show co-star Danny Masterson, who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for drugging and raping two women.
The couple shared a video apology shortly afterwards, which was not well received.
“We are aware of the pain caused by the character letters we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,” Kutcher began in the short video.
Kunis added: “We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future.”
Kutcher has since resigned from his anti-child abuse organization Thorn, calling the letters an “error in judgment.”

A source told DailyMail.com at the time: ‘They rightly feel they are being cancelled.’
“With all the people railing against them, it’s not going away anytime soon, and they feel it,” they said. “They hope that as time goes on, people will forget their criticism and/or move on from it.”
The insider said they anticipate the “damage of all this” will impact their careers, and Kunis’ long-running gig as Meg on Family Guy is “a saving grace, financially speaking.”
“Mila’s voice work will continue on Family Guy, she will have it forever,” they added. “The cast and crew of Family Guy are behind her.”
