Most popular baby names of 2020 listed - with predictions for decade

January 2 is the most common day of the year to make a baby, so if you're already planning for a new arrival in nine months time you may be looking for some name inspiration.

According to baby experts Bounty.com, there are already some trends showing what the most popular boys and girls names will be this year.

And they are even forecasting what the top names will be for the rest of this decade, reports BirminghamLive.

Ada looks set to be the most common girl's name this year, thanks to Peaky Blinders, with Bonnie, Hallie, Delilah and Nevaeh also in the top 10.

Theodore will top the list of boys names this year, with Louis, Frankie and Oakley not far behind.

A spokesman for Bounty said: "Having assessed over 300,000 names for the stand-out highest climbers over the last 12 months we can predict which exactly which name trends are set to take off.

"This is because, outside of official birth registration lists (which are published 18 months behind) ours is the largest, most up-to-date baby names list in the UK – making it guaranteed to bring you the latest trends in baby names."
