Names ending in ‘bella’ for girls are on the rise with the likes of popular choices Isabella and Arabella being joined by Rosabella and Mirabella for next year. For the boys there is set to be a rise in the use of ‘ett’ at the end of names such as Bennett, Beckett or Averett.
Colour names are also set to be huge with the popular likes of Violet and Scarlett taking a backseat to more unusual choices such as Indigo, Azure, Lavender and Cerulean.

Traditional names are also making a re-emergence with Downton Abbey to thank for the likes of Ethel, Sybil, Cora, Lavender, Edith remaining popular. These will be joined on the list by newcomers Hazel and Gus – inspired by this year’s The Fault in Our Stars.
