Celebrities Influence Baby Names
It’s been revealed that the most popular baby names of the year so far are Jacob, Ethan and Michael for the boys and Isabella, Sophia and Emma are favourites with the girls.
Has a celebrity influenced the choice of your baby’s name? You can read the comments on Facebook today.
The name Pippa has taken off since the royal wedding when the world’s attention was on Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton. The name was not well know in the USA and has now seen a spike in use since the event!
