Trending Baby Names for 2026
Trending baby names for 2026 revealed: Posh ‘granola’ monikers, farm-inspired nicknames and vintage classics are set to soar in popularity this year
We’re now officially more than a quarter through the 21st century, but it appears nostalgia and a fondness for the good old days is the inspiration behind this year’s baby names.
Expecting parents will be opting for retro monikers like Archie and Goldie – as well as ones evoking hearty farm life imagery from the days of yore – in 2026.
According to a new report from mother and baby boutique JoJo Maman Bébé, also trending are ‘granola names’ which are ‘nature inspired, with rustic and earthy feels’
Naming expert Colleen Slagen has shared her insights into what’s on the horizon, with predictions about the names she believes are set to be on the minds of mothers and fathers over the coming months.
Among the contenders are throwback names which would have been popular during the 40s and 50s, such as Lettie (usually short for Letitia) and Minnie (typically Wilhelmina in full), as well as Romy and Cal.
Kit, Kitty and Louie could also spark inspiration, as well as Rocky and Ozzy, with the latter perhaps emerging in honour of the late Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away last year.
