A professional baby namer has revealed what the 2022 top 200 list says about parents - and reckons sending more time online is making people choose more 'nicknames'. Taylor A. Humphrey, 34, works as a baby name consultant and doula running her business, 'What's In A Baby Name'.
She rakes in thousands every year advising expectant parents on the perfect names for their little ones. BabyCentre revealed 2022's top 100 baby names so far - and Lily got the top spot for girls, with Muhammad the number one for boys.
Taylor said the list for the first half of this year has been impacted - by the pandemic. She said many of the top spots are now taken by shortened 'nickname' versions of names - like Evie not Eve, Lottie not Charlotte, and Leo not Leonardo.
