39% Of New Mums Choose Traditional Baby Names

A new survey has found new mums are moving away from 'celebrity names', instead preferring to use more traditional names for their baby.

The study, which was carried out by Cussons Mum & Me found that 39% of mums will choose a name they have always loved, rather than name their baby after a celebrity.

One in five mums admitted they decide on a name that is already in the family, with the same amount picking a name from a book or film that they love. Only one in 10 mums said they would choose the name of a celebrity for their child.

In addition, less than 10% claimed they would look to their friends for inspiration, while 3% said they will name their new born after the place they were conceived.

A spokesperson for Cussons Mum & Me said: "The journey of early motherhood is an eventful one, and baby naming can be very personal, so it’s no surprise to see that a name with true meaning takes the top spot in the inspiration stakes."
