Choosing a baby's name is no easy task, so why not take inspiration from our favorite celebrities? This is the choice that thousands of parents make!
According to Colleen Slagen, a famous American name consultant, more and more future parents are giving their babies first names worn by celebrities. As a result, in the United Kingdom, 2025 should be the year of George, Margot and… Beckham!
“Based on my observations, I think we will see more short and simple first names in 2025, both for boys and girls,” explains Colleen Slagen in the columns of The Sun. So, for boys,
the first name George should be very successful.
It is notably worn by Prince George, the son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, but also obviously by the timeless George Clooney and George Michael. The first name Beckham, in reference to the British footballer David Beckhamshould also be popular next year.
Margot as Margot Robbie
As for little girls, Colleen Slagen foresees a resurgence of first names Margot, popularized by Barbie star Margot Robbie, but also Billie, worn by American singer Billie Eilish. Lottie, worn by Kate Moss's sister, Lottie Moss, should also be given to a large number of little girls.
Still according to Colleen Slagen, parents should also be inspired by the characters of their favorite series. “Series can have a big impact on fashions. Yellowstone popularized cowboy names like Kayce, Tate and Dutton, and Bridgerton sparked a resurgence of genteel Regency-inspired names like Daphne and Florence.”
Male names are popular for girls
Furthermore, 2025 should see an increase in the number of little girls with masculine first names. The names Andie, Scottie and Miller should be very successful, just like Billie. “Before, I was asked for ideas for neutral first names that leaned towards the feminine. Now, I am asked for 'boys' names, but for girls'.

While these are just estimates for the moment, one thing is certain: few parents should name their babies Bertha, Annette and Barry! According to figures recently published by the National Statistics Office, these first names are among the most hated by the English. Ouch!
