Deciding on a baby name can be difficult, especially if you can’t agree with your partner.
The name has to carry your child through life and you’ll be repeating it over and over again, so you want to get it just right.
If you’re expecting and looking for inspiration, this list shows which names are the most popular across the world right now.
Names can vary in popularity depending on where you are in the world, but data has been gathered to show which have global appeal.
Baby name website Nameberry released the run down of “top international names”. The list is based on the number of times each name has featured in a national top 10, and takes into account spelling variations.
The data is based on 2019 baby name statistics from countries across the globe, including New Zealand, Turkey, Monaco, Albania and more.
The website did point out, however, that there's "still a lot of national data outstanding for 2019" so the current rankings "are only provisional."
