Baby names 2021: MB's top picks

Published

Lost in sea of baby names? Maybe some of these will help you decide...

Baby names – if you don't have some initial ideas, where do you even start? I mean, it's not exactly a light decision to name someone, is it? I know a lot of parents who have really struggled when it comes to baby names. It’s a tricky one for sure, unless, of course, you are Chris and I and just name your kid after his dad’s favourite dinosaur.

When I was pregnant, I started noting down names that I liked (and definitely didn’t), and was always quite conscious of nicknames that might be associated with any of my choices. So naturally I chose a name that is just letter change away from the word sex, obviously.

For those of you who are a bit more considered than me (i.e. everyone), there’s a ton of beautiful baby names doing the rounds right now. Nameberry recently reported Luna to be the top girl’s name of 2021 so far, with Asher taking the top spot for a boy. If you’re in need of a bit more baby name inspiration, I thought I'd share some baby names off mine and Eamo's original list should Eamo and I ever ever really like each other for a few minutes again.
