Traditional baby names are making a comeback in 2022 with parents choosing familiar favourites for their children so far this year, according to experts at UK Baby Names. Names including James, David and Gary for boys and Olivia, Sarah and Emma for girls are holding their places in the most popular list.
A spokesman for the site said: "Choosing a baby name is one of the first major decisions a parent has to make. It is also one that your child has to live with for the rest of their lives.
"There are a wide range of baby names in the UK with many origins and styles. Current trends show a strong revival of traditional baby names although contemporary and celebrity names are also popular."
