The most popular baby names of 2020 revealed - with one boys name a clear winner

Picking a name for your new bundle of joy can be tricky - especially when so many names remind you of someone else that you already know.

Parenting website Nameberry has revealed some of the most popular emerging names of 2020 which just might inspire you.

The list is based on the names that were most-considered by parents browsing their website.

Of course, these are simply the names that have attracted interest online: the list isn't based on what parents actually name their children, unlike the official Office For National Statistics baby name list.

Despite us being less than halfway through 2020, Nameberry has already spotted some emerging trends - with a clear winner for most popular boy's name.
