When it comes to picking the perfect baby name, any expectant parent will tell you how tough a decision it can be – do you go for a classic name that will never date? Something a bit more unique (but then how unusual is too unusual)? Perhaps you want a name that's popular, so that everyone will always know how to spell it? Or maybe, what you're after is something a little more in the middle... which is to say, a name that's likely to become popular in the future but hasn't quite made it big yet? If it's the latter, we've got you.

Popular baby naming site, Nameberry, have shared their list of most-viewed baby names for girls and boys, explaining that based on previous years, this user data is a strong indication of monikers that future mums and dads are keen on right now and that are likely to take off in future. Oh, and there are some surprises on the lists for sure!

The site gives the examples of Maeve, Arlo and August – all names that Nameberry users were checking out in the early months of 2021, and which then went on to make the official 'most popular baby names' list later down the line.
