Inspiration? Victoria Beckham with daughter Harper (photo courtesy David Beckham, Facebook).
Ever wondered which names Essential Baby visitors search for more than any other?
Our inaugural list of most-browsed names from our Baby Names finder reveals a few surprises.
While the names in the top 10 reveal decade-long trends, some rising stars in the name game are Harper and Willow – the names of the daughters of Victoria Beckham and singer Pink respectively – and Maya, which is a Hindi name meaning ‘divine creative force’.
Many of the boys names in the top 20 are straight out of the bible - Noah, Jacob, Joshua, John, James and Ethan. The two upcomers are short and sweet – Kai is a Hawaiian word meaning sea, while Finn is of Gaelic origin.
The Essential Baby Baby Names database features more than 23,000 names.
