Baby names inspired by SHOES tipped to be big in 2019… so would you call your child Van, Chuck or Puma?
2019's newborns are set to have some pretty out-there names, from shoe brands to gender-swapping monikers.
BabyCenter has revealed their predictions for next year's baby names, and some are questionable...
Shoe brands
Yes, really - the next wave of tots could indeed be named after your favourite pair of trainers.
Don't worry, BabyCenter isn't suggesting you name your baby Nike Air Max 270, Hurache Ultra or Balenciaga Triple S - that would be silly.
Instead, take inspiration from limited edition collections and break up the names, there are actually some pretty cute ones.
Chuck, Taylor, Van, Stan, Smith, Fila, Puma are all quite cute baby names.
And Diadora, Luna, and Jordan all work as well.
Royal names
It's unsurprising that royal names are likely to be popular in the upcoming year.
Charlotte, George and Louis are all popular names for newborns, with Louis rising 17 per cent in popularity this year after the birth of the young Prince in April.
Meghan has jumped massively this year, raising a whopping 49 per cent in popularity since the former Suits actress married Prince Harry and became the Duchess of Sussex.
And whatever the duo choose to name their firstborn will undoubtedly have a colossal effect on 2019's baby names.
Gender swapping
Swapping names with genders - such as naming a girl Max, Tyler or Ryan is gaining in popularity.
Stevie and Drew are also on the rise, after Stevie Nicks and Drew Barrymore.
Ashley, Tracy and Kelsey are set to be popular names for boys, too.
Power couples
Huge power couples such as John Legend and Chrissy Tiegen seem to be having an increased impact on baby name choices.
Chrissy is up 27 - a rather unique name - and the classic John is up nine per cent.
Their daughter, Luna's name is up a whopping 13 per cent, and their son, Miles' name has also soared in popularity by 13 per cent.
If you want to name your children Beyonce and Jay-Z, go ahead, but you might receive a few raise eyebrows.
