This years list of top names has been revealed and it seems that celebrities still have clout with parents when they are naming their children.

My personal rule was to aim for a name that isn’t in the top 50 and avoid anything I have seen on TV.

The good news is that unique names like Xavier, Sebastian and Isabella are on the rise, with newcomers to the top 100, to be released next month, include Lila, Maria and Adrien.

There is a fine line between naming your child something unique and making it so uncommon that other kids will be forced to make fun of it.

The full list will be released later this month, here is the abbreviated version.
