SAM October 29, 2019

Expecting a baby next year? Then you’ve probably already gone through all the popular baby name lists.

If you’re not about that ‘name on a keyring’ life then you might opt for the rarer monikers for your baby.

But if you want to get ahead of the curve and figure out which names are set to blow up next year then we’ve got just the list.

Flower company Bloom & Wild has handily created their predictions for the most popular baby names of 2020.

So expectant mums and dads, get out a pen and paper (or your phone’s Notes app) and jot some of these down.

The brand looked at the percentage increases of certain names over the past decade using the Office for National Statistic’s baby name data.

It’s no surprise that celebs and fictional characters top the list.

Predictions for the most popular baby names for 2020

Bloom & Wild’s study shows flowers, film, TV and celebrity influence on baby name trends.

So expect to see lots of newborns named Eve, Billie, Archie, Edward, Meghan, and Ariana in the coming year.

Being a flower company and all, they also looked at floral names, which are back in vogue, including Ivy and Willow.

In the TV show category, Peaky Blinders and Game of Thrones are set to dominate trends.

Baby name inspiration is also being drawn from celebrities such as Emilia Clarke and Maisie Williams.

Any of these take your fancy?
