Picking a Name for your Newborn Baby

True to their popularity, some names were present in both lists, such as Luna, Charlotte, Elijah, Liam and Lucas. This does not mean you have to call your baby these names just because they are the most popular.

Naming your child is an important moment in parenthood, and we hope you don’t get too intimidated or pressured with trending names. Remember that this is all part of the fun in finding inspiration for what you will call your baby when you finally hold them in your arms.

You can start by picking out the ones you like the most, then choose what you think will be the best name for them. This should be a fun couple activity, so relax and pass each other some possible baby names you’ve spotted.
