3. Indigo
The phrase "Indigo children" was coined way back in the 60s and 70s, and refers to the idea that colour was a universal language that bound people together. It's pretty hippie-inspired, and we think that when Generation Z has babies, they will love the retro vibe of this name.
4. Jago
Jacob has been a bit of a multi-national winner when it comes to boy names the last few years, but we think that maybe Generation Z will want to put their own little modern spin on things, and go for the more dashing 'Jago' instead.
5. Story
Social media, of which Generation Z are obviously big users, is in so many ways about telling your own story, and we think that this (rather unisex) name will be of liking to these modern-day mamas.
6. Coast
Mother Nature will seem so mystical and alluring to these digital-first people, and so we think it will continue to be of great inspiration when it comes to picking a name for their little bundles.

7. Wolfe
Children born today will never know a world without technology, and because of the huge role this will play, we like to think that nature and the idea of it will become both important and nostalgic to Generation Z, something that might cause a surge in popularity for baby names inspired by the animal kingdom, as well as flora and fauna.
8. Captain
Strong, leader-minded millennials will love this moniker, we feel.
9. Aura
The rather mystical theory that you can tell something about a person's personality from the colour they are surrounded by (invisible, of course, to the naked eye), we think will appeal to these tech-loving, science-rooted future parents.
Plus, there is no denying that Aura is just a really adorable name too!
10. Mara
Sweet and feminine, Mara is a multicultural name (and the world will seem to have fewer borders to Generation Z and their travel-loving tots, we think).
As for meaning, Mara is a Kiswahili word meaning "a time" and could also be conceived as a geographical name, being a river flowing through Kenya and Tanzania.
11. Wynn
We love this slightly historical sounding Welsh name, and think modern-day parents might see it that way too. Heritage will hopefully matter to the next generation.
12. King
While this name might seem a little ostentatious, (and better suited for a four-legged creature, maybe), we think Generation Z will see it as a strong moniker full of rich associations (Martin Luther King, Elvis...).Explore more on these topics:
