These trends include names rooted in ancient history; showgirl-inspired choices — influenced by the success of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour; soulful and spiritual names with biblical ties; polished “boomer” names such as Nancy and Betsy; romantasy-inspired options drawn from fantasy novels; and even names incorporating numbers, like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s son, Rocky Thirteen.
A renewed fascination with some of the most celebrated novels in British literature is also said to be driving a resurgence in distinctly English names.
With classics such as Wuthering Heights, Sense & Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice capturing readers’ attention once again, names like Bram, Bronte, Celia, Darcy, Eyre, Fielding and Tess are expected to inspire parents throughout the year.
