As every parent knows, choosing a baby name can be a very tough decision. With limitless options, it can be difficult to find that one perfect name for you child.
This is made even harder if you're looking for a name that is unique. While there are countless baby name books, you're unlikely to find something that stands out from the crowd.
As reported by the Daily Record, the most popular names for boys and girls change each year, as many are inspired by popular culture. Many parents opt for names picked from television shows, films, and even the news.

On the other hand, others may choose a more traditional approach and choose names that have been passed down through their family. There is no right or wrong way to name your child — within reason — and it all comes down to personal preference.
UK Baby Names has released its list of the top 100 baby names for 2022, including both boys and girls names, as well as a 'trending' list of names. Many may be surprised to see the name Gary on this list, as in recent years there have been warnings that the name may become "extinct".
