Lars B. Andersen, Managing Director atMy Nametagssaid: “At My Nametags, we have been tracking baby name trends for almost two decades.
“Throughout the years, we have seen many names come and go, with trends often influenced by pop culture. However, there are some names that seem to have enduring appeal.
“It’s interesting to see that, whilst traditional monikers like Elizabeth and George are maintaining their charm, names in general are becoming more diverse as parents favour less formal options, and increasingly take inspiration from popular culture.
“For example, Maeve made the top 100 charts in 2020, a year after the Netflix show Sex Education aired for the first time with its lead character Maeve Wiley.
“As popular culture continues to have a wider social impact, we expect this trend to grow, leading to an even broader range of names in the UK.”
