Choosing a baby name can be a very difficult decision for parents, and with the New Year now having arrived some trends will emerge on what popular choices there will be.
With this in mind the baby product supplier, Bella Baby, has picked out some recent popular baby names you could give your child in 2023.
Speaking on the topic they said: "There is a beauty in choosing a popular name for your baby as there is a reason why it is popular and it may not be a bad thing that your child will eventually grow up being happily associated to this reason.
"Whether it's through popular culture or even just that it has a beautiful meaning behind it."
Bella Baby used data from the ONS and BabyNames.com to pull together the list.
