Anything to add to the list?
Choosing a name for your baby can be very tough. Unless you have an obvious name, like calling the baby after someone you know or something that means a lot to you, the choices are endless.
And, if you're trying to steer clear of the more common or widely known/used names, then it can be even harder. You almost have to try to strike a balance between finding a name which you love, but won't be too unusual that no one can pronounce it or understand it.
An online forum,
Netmums, asked mothers-to-be and other parents to try and predict what names are going to be the most popular this year and the results are pretty unusual. Some are more traditional, but others are unique.
The likes of Fox and Dalston are among the more unusual guesses, but more old-fashioned names like Nora and Emelia have also made an appearance.
In no particular order the names they predicted that will be popular this year are:
- Aria
- Willow
- Hettie or Hattie
- Layla
- Blaine
- Quinn
- River
- Arlo
- Otis
- Sylvie
- Milo
- Emelia
- Theodore
- Nora
- Grayson
- King
- Nova
- Mason
- Fox
- Maya
- Axl
- Thea
- Marcel
- Lola
- Henley
- Rex
- Harri
- Dalston
Happy choosing!
