Nameberry, which is the ‘world’s largest baby name site’, is home to a database of more than 70,000 names.

To create the 2050 prediction list, the US-based site examined thousands of baby names to identify which were given to fewer than 25 babies in 2020.

said Pamela, 70 today: ‘A guiding principle is that the next generation will choose the names of the babies that the parents did not make.’

And so, from that shortlist, the brand then chose names that gave a futuristic look to both classically themed and popular names.

The result was two compelling lists of boy and girl name predictions.

They revealed that the top five boy names for 2050 will be Albie, Barney, Clement, Cyprian and Elim.

For the girls it seems destined that Cosima, Dot, Islanda, Maude and Mavi will come out on top.

Pamela elaborated further on some of the top names in a recent article for the publication.

Pamela Redmond, who is CEO of parenting website Nameberry, explained how analyzing statistics from the past few decades has given a hint of what’s to come.

Addressing some of the more unusual names for girls, she said of Franklin: ‘James broke the gender barrier with this generation, the presidential Franklin will do it next. And has that cute nickname Frankie.’

She also mentioned Lunarose because “the British love combination names and we love the names the British love.”

Prairie was described as ‘the next generation of cottagecore’ and Willoughby made the list because it’s a ‘gender-neutral surname that includes a subtle nod to nature’.

Turning her attention to boys, the expert said Floriani was a ‘flowery choice’ that ‘continues the trend towards softer names for boys’.

She said Kanoa was a ‘Hawaiian name with a laid-back beach vibe, taking current favorites like Kai and Kehlani a step further.’

Pamela also believes that ‘heavenly names are growing in popularity and Jupiter may become more important for boys and girls too’.

The expert has three grown-up children of her own – whom she named Joe, Owen and Rory (left) – and her seven-year-old granddaughter (right) has the unique name of Plum.

Nameberry’s mission statement is: ‘Find Your Type: Discover your ultimate name type, create your unique naming profile, and get thousands of names personally selected for you.’

And, if 2050 currently seems too far away, baby name trends for 2024 are already quite futuristic.

For the coming year, the company predicts there will be an increase in the trends of ‘girl names for boys’, ‘feminine feminine names’, ‘atmospheric names’, ‘naturally glamorous names’ and even ‘main character energy names’ .

Some of the prime examples in those categories include Io, Honey, Ice, Lyra, and Nami.
