There are some… interesting predictions here.
A baby name expert has given their predictions around what our kids will be naming their kids by 2050.
By the looks of things, the days of traditional names will be long gone and in their place will be modern takes on the once common monikers.
Pamela Redmond, the co-creator of Nameberry – a name generator – says after analysing baby name statistics and predicting trends for the past few decades, they’ve discovered a big clue about baby names that the next generation will choose – but their parents certainly would not have.
So, if you’re fond of a futuristic twist and are expecting a baby – or simply want to add one to your list for later in life – here are the names predicted to be the most popular by 2050:
