Oliver is another popular choice for boys but when it comes to girls, there’s one very sweet name that could surprise everyone.
Ariella is a variation of Ariel which translates to lion of God in Hebrew.
As Disney fans will know, Ariel is the main character in The Little Mermaid, a film that’s popular with adults and children alike.

We adore both versions and although we’ve heard of Ariella before now, it remains a relatively unique name.

Other female baby names likely to prove popular this year include Saoirse, owing to actress Saoirse Ronan’s immense success, Iris, Juniper, Charlotte (perhaps a nod to Princess Charlotte), Scarlett and Victoria.
As you’ll see above, there’s a mix of old and new monikers and last year’s number one name, Emma, is also in the running to remain the favourite this year.
