With brand new year babies arriving by the minute, parents-to-be are opting for name choices that manifest positive vibes. 2025 baby name choices will also be rooted in culture and nature, too, with mums and dads looking to embrace hope, heritage and harmony with their naming choices.

2025 will be the year of imaginative, meaningful, and trend-setting baby names, predicts leading pregnancy and parenting website BabyCentre.

Working with Baby Name Expert and celebrity baby name consultant, SJ Strum, BabyCentre forecasts that recent cultural influences, such as the Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year Manifest, a growing connection to nature, and the enchanting aesthetic of Castlecore fantasy, will be the powerful prompts to shape baby naming in the year ahead.The predictions follow the release of the Top 100 Baby Names of 2024, from BabyCentre UK.

MANIFEST Manifest was looked up almost 130,000 times on the Cambridge Dictionary website, making it one of the most-viewed words of 2024.
