A professional baby namer has cast her predictions on 2023's most popular names - and reckons "dark, moody, romantic" monikers will boom. Steph Coffield, 39, is a stay-at-home mum with a side hustle helping new parents to name their babies.
The mum-of-three "stumbled into the career" after posting a few TikToks on the subject - and now charges $50 for a list of name ideas based on the parent's specifications. Steph, from St Paul, Minnesota, US., has predicted "dark and moody" names - tagged to shows like Netflix's Wednesday - will be a hit in the new year.
She said: "I think romantic names like Argo, Draco, Knight, Raven and Zelda will be popular. Even Wednesday, like the show. Mystical names are doing well already."
