If you want to, you know, future-proof their finances…

If you are currently expecting and trying to come up with a name for your little bundle, you might care to know that some new research by Ask Traders has revealed the baby names most likely to earn the ‘big bucks’ later on in life.

Having analysed over 300 CEO’s from some of the biggest companies across the globe, including Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Rolls Royce and Amazon, the people at Ask Traders were able to compare these with salary date and can now reveal which monikers will put your little one on route to becoming super rich.

Which names won?

Of the 300 companies analysed, the most popular names amongst male CEO’s were Michael, Mark and David.

So, in other words, good, solid and fairly normal-sounding names.

As for women, Mary ranks first for the female chief executives, meaning, if you want to give your child the best chance at success one of these names might give them just that.

The thing about trends though is that they are forever changing, so when trying to predict what the CEO of the future will most likely be called, the researchers dug out the predictions for most popular baby names of 2020 and then cross-referenced the data to find the names of babies born this year that are most likely to be successful and earn the most.

What they found?

Billie, Logan and Jude will be THE most successful baby names in 2020.

The study evaluated the top five names for gender-neutral, female and male babies this year and the results show some very clear pop culture trends alongside those destined for success.
