Picking the perfect name for your baby is a tough task. With so many lists out there - from the luckiest baby names, to the names most likely to set your child up for success, and even monikers inspired by your favourite Netflix shows (Bridgerton baby names are, unsurprisingly, on the up).
But if you're looking for something with a regal twist, this one's for you.
Baby and nursery retailer Kiddies Kingdom has revealed the most popular royal inspired baby names of the last twenty five years - and they're obviously very cute.
By analysing the names of royal family members dating back to King George V, they took data from the ONS (Office of National Statistics) ranking their monikers from 1996 - 2020. An average was then taken from the rankings over that time frame before being organised in order of popularity.
