The most common UK names that people don't know how to spell revealed - check if yours lands on the list

It has been revealed that Brits called Niamh or Aaron are most likely to be asked how to correctly spell their name according to new research.

Google search data indicates that people are so flummoxed on how to spell the variation of the Irish moniker properly that they search online to get it right - leading to thousands of combined searches overall.

The spelling of Niamh - which translates to 'bright' - saw 4,110 monthly searches in the UK alone, alongside other variations such as Neve, Nieve, Neave, Neavh or Neeve.
