Baby names

 Due this year?

Then, chances are, you’re probably thinking about what to call your little one (unless you’ve already found that perfect moniker, of course).

It can be tricky enough to do, after all.

You may want it to be unique, but not so unique that they end up spelling it out for the rest of their lives. At the same time, you may not want them to be sharing a name with half the class.

And you’ll probably want it to match up with your surname, too.

For years, parents have been getting more and more creative when it comes to naming their children. Mostly thanks to the ever-growing list of sources of inspiration.

Their favourite Marvel movies; TV shows (like Game of Thrones); seasons; foods and hobbies have all been scoured in an effort to find that perfect moniker for their little one.

But it turns out that if you want your child to be successful in life, there are certain names you should pick.

AskTraders conduced an in-depth analysis to find the most successful name, looking at more than 300 CEO’s from some of the biggest companies across the world.

They then compared the names with Adzuna’s salary data to find out which names earn the most money.

Of the 300 companies analysed, the most popular names amongst male CEO’s were Michael, Mark and David, with seven CEO’s each.

Meanwhile, Mary was the most popular name for women – with four CEO’s having that name.

But as trends change so do baby names. And AskTraders found the names predicted to be the most popular in 2020 and cross-referenced the data to find the names of babies born this year that are most likely to be successful and earn the most.

The study looked at the top five names for boys, girls and gender-neutral names – and it looks like pop culture is having a massive impact.
