40 baby names predicted to become popular over the next 10 years

Ahh baby names! You could argue it's the single most important decision you ever make for your child, it is the name they are going to have for life after all! Whether you are dead certain on a name before they are born, or whether you scroll through endless amounts of baby name books, it's certainly a lovely (and sometimes stressful) process.

Although traditional names are forever popular with parents of all ages, there's a number of newer names on the block which are certainly unique and unusual.

If you are pregnant or planning a baby in the next 10 years, the guys over at parenthood company Bounty have compiled a list of both girls and boys names that are expected to become very popular over the next decade.
