Kids And Parents

How did you choose the name for your child and do you really believe that right name can give a child confidence while up to two million thought it could help their child’s career prospects. British parents spend more than 30 million hours a year picking the names of their newborn children, Reiter reports.

“There is no doubt that children’s names reflect people’s aspirations and parents believe names can affect career prospects,” said Abbey Banking director Steve Shore.

The latest national statistics update showed that Grace, Ruby and Olivia ranked as the current top names for girls and Jack, Thomas and Oliver for boys.
Top 10 the most popular names in US includes Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Ethan, Matthew, Daniel, Christopher, Andrew, Anthony, William for male and Emily Emma Madison Isabella Ava Abigail Olivia Hannah Sophia Samantha for female.

The popularity of one or another name has changed over the time and it’s no wonder! For instance in France such girls’ name as Marie has fallen out of the top 10 names this year and Jade has taken its place. So now the French list of the most popular names looks like that:
