Baby names

18th Feb 2023

These are the luckiest baby names, according to a psychic

Sarah McKenna Barry

A beautiful mix of names.

Luck. Some people believe it exists, while others suggest that we can make our own luck. The verdict is very much still out.

However, if you are a big believer in luck, and fancy passing some of that down onto your child, then you’ll be glad to know that a psychic has compiled a list of what they believe to be the luckiest names.

Inbaal Honigman (via Forebears.io and onlinecasinos.co.uk) put together the list of names we most associate with luck, and they are as follows:

  1. Rafael
  2. Victoria
  3. Lakshmi
  4. Felix
  5. Beatrice
  6. Said
  7. Ganesh
  8. Sadia
  9. Ayman
  10. Iris

Explaining why Rafael is in the top spot, Inbaal pointed to the name’s biblical connections, as it is the name of the Angel of Healing.

She said: “Rafael is a lucky name, venerated for generations. It’s a wonderful name to pick for a life of healthy living, healthy relationships and healthy decision-making.”

It’s perhaps unsurprising that Victoria is in second place, considering that it translates to Victory.

Inball says: “Victoria is not subtle about its blessings. Sharing a name with the Roman Goddess of Victory, Victoria draws luck in the field of winning. Victoria spends her life walking into challenges, only to walk out holding the winner’s cup.”

Lakshmi is the Hindu Goddess of Abundance and Good Fortune, so it’s no wonder this name made the list, while Felix is on the list because it translates to luck or happiness in Latin.

Beatrice, meanwhile, comes from the Latin Beatrix, which means blessed.

“Associating a name with blessings can have no downsides, the bearer of this title is blessed, and will also bless others,” Inball says.
