These are the most popular baby names of 2020 so far with some surprises

It's a difficult decision for any future parents trying to decide on a baby name.

There are so many to choose from and even after you've narrowed it down, there are issues that you can fall into.

In Liverpool, the most popular name given to a boy in previous years was James.

And sharing the podium for most popular name given to a girl in Liverpool was Ava and Isla.

But none of these names make the most popular baby names of 2020 so far.

According to the parenting website Nameberry, there have been some new trends emerging when it comes to popular monikers so far this year, reports the Mirror.

Luna now tops the girls list, the name of the Roman moon goddess.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend named their little girl Luna, so may be the inspiration before the increase in baby Lunas.

Asher has become the most popular boys name, taking the top spot from last year's winner Milo.

There are three newcomers to the girls list - Ava, Eloise, and Eleanor.

They take the spots of Ada, Cora, and Amelia.

Arlo, Leo and Levi are the new additions the the boys list.

Surprisingly, Archie has fallen out of the top 10, despite Meghan Markle and Prince Harry picking it for their firstborn son last year.
