2018's most popular baby names

Uh oh! The unfair stereotypes around 2018's most popular baby names

Selecting a baby name can easily lead to an enormous amount of pressure. Could it be popular enough? Too well-known? Will it roll off the tongue and will your partner enjoy it? Does it proceed with their surname and heaven forbid it isn't one of many monikers mums are actually AVOIDING because of their fresh, accidental meanings in 2018?

To throw another spanner in the ongoing works, it turns out a couple of well-loved names include slightly unfair stereotypes.

According to a report by My Nametags, James is regarded as the majority of charismatic and confident, and ladies named Gemma assumed to become bad-tempered and unkind.

Chartered Medical Psychologist and Scientist, Linda Blair, clarifies why these stereotypes can be found: “A great way we cope with information overload, a genuine issue in today’s world, is usually to produce mental ‘shortcuts’ and counting on name stereotypes is definitely one of them. Nevertheless, these stereotypes are often based on just a few high-profile people at a particular time and, less realistically even, often on fictional character types in books and movies. As a result, they rarely endure in everyday encounters. Add this to the actual fact that each folks displays different, often contradictory qualities'
