It’s been a strange, strange year but one thing that’s remained fairly predictable is the most popular baby names of 2020.
Sure, there’s been some shifts up and down the rankings and a few newcomers to keep us on our name choosing toes but all-in-all the Liams, Noahs, Emmas and Olivias are still holding strong.
