Filters that use your name have become a big trend on TikTok lately, with some of the most popular filters being “Name as Emoji” and the “Name as bouquet” filter.

The newest filter that is gaining popularity on the platform is the Lego name filters, which sees users using their names to create unique and personalized Lego figures.
