The meaning behind the top lucky baby names
Iris tops the list of the luckiest baby girl names, with 783,027 people worldwide sharing it.
A beautiful floral name symbolising wisdom and renewal.
Celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman commented: “The Goddess of the Rainbow to the ancient Greeks, Iris is the personification of the rainbow, and a messenger of good news. Deity names are very ancient, and they bring specific types of luck associated with the deity.
“Iris, for example, was seen as quick, nimble and well-connected – all qualities that any parent would wish on a child.”
Felicia ranks as the second most popular lucky baby girl name, with an impressive 671,122 bearing it.
Of Latin origin, Felicia means ‘good fortune’ and ‘happiness’, making it a name brimming with positivity and joy.
“Originating in the name of the Roman Goddess Fortuna, who was the personification of luck and the Goddess of fortune, this is another powerful deity name.
“Her blessings are those of the safe home, bountiful harvests, and the ability to bounce back from any disaster,” Inbaal said.
