Top baby names of 2020 listed if you're looking for inspiration

If you've got a baby on the way, or if you're planning one for next year, you may be on the hunt for inspiration when it comes to a name.

Or you may be looking to avoid common names so things don't get confusing in the playground in a few years.

Thankfully, one baby name website has already decided what the most common names of 2020 will be.

Nameberry  have just released their predictions for the top baby names of 2020, using the names in their database to find which have seen the biggest increase in interest over the last year, reports The Mirror .

Parents are set to be into old-fashioned names like Pearl, as well as celebrity-inspired handles like Reese (Reese Witherspoon) and Billie (Billie Eilish).

A Nameberry spokesman said: "Our top baby names are a radical departure from the official national list, which suffers from a considerable time lag. We won't know which names were  really  used the most often for babies in 2020 until May of 2021.

"The names here offer baby namers a heads up on trends and specific names destined to get more popular in 2020 and beyond."

Here's a look at their top 10 Girls names for 2020:

1. Adah

2. Reese

3. Mika

4. Paisley

5. Amina

6. Teagan

7. Nova

8. Aura

9. Pearl

10. Billie

And the top 10 for boys in 2020:

1. Austin

2. Alva

3. Acacius

4. Tate

5. Diego

6. Easton

7. Lucius

8. Cash

9. Ash

10. Luca
