With most of us having to stay indoors for the foreseeable future, it seems expectant parents are taking baby name inspiration from TV shows.
The most popular baby names of 2020 have been influenced by the soaps, with characters from EastEnders and Emmerdale having the sought-after monikers.
After extensively digging around social media threads and various forums, UKTV Play spotted the rather unexpected 2020 baby name trend, the Liverpool Echo reports.
The on-demand service analysed ONS baby name data from 1996 to 2018 (the latest data available) and threads on Mumsnet to see which soap characters have had the most input on this year's baby names.
The study evaluated the top 10 names for gender-neutral, female and male babies in 2020 and the results show some soap star trends alongside some more traditional names.
Here's the top 10 list:
1. Bobby - Bobby Beale, EastEnders
2. Billie/y - Billy Mitchell, EastEnders
3. Keanu - Keanu Taylor EastEnders
4. Eve - Eve Jenson, Emmerdale
5. Liam - Liam Cavanagh, Emmerdale
6. Leo - Leo Goskirk, Emmerdale
7. Abigail - Abi Franklin, Coronation Street
8. Isaac- Isaac Baptiste, EastEnders
9. Faye - Faye Windass, Coronation Street
