We’re already halfway through 2018.

Which means that it’s time to reflect on and reassess the last six months – while looking forward towards the next.

For some of us, that may mean planning our next holiday. For others, that may mean dreaming up our lists for St. Nick.

For any parents-to-be searching for naming inspiration for their little one, or new parents who are simply looking to ensure their choice of moniker is still in fashion, things just got a little easier.
