Well? Did your baby name make the list?

Or has this given you some serious inspiration for naming a baby bump you’re currently busy baking to perfection?

Both of our baby names made it to the top ten in the years that my boys were born. I don’t mind admitting that I was a little disappointed. I like to think of myself as a little more unique but our first child was named after both Grandads so it was pure chance that it turned out to be number ten that year. With our second my other half chose the name. It was beyond perfect, but again, topped the list! His fault though! Lol.

Where can I check names for other years?

If your kids were born in years other than 2020 you can check where their names fell by visiting this site linked right here…

So…where does your name fall? Or is your baby name choice completely and utterly unique?! I’d love to know!

If you’ve got time for a little more baby related light reading why not have a nose at the following posts.

And if you are expecting an arrival soon or you are already knee deep in nappies and night feeds then I very much wish you a happy new mum experience in what can only be described as the most memorable of times to bring a new little person into the World.

If you ever need someone to document this special time then just drop me a little message. That was pretty subtle, right?
