The survey found that:
- 52 percent of parents would share their name picks before baby is born
- 43 percent of first-time parents would share with their friends and only 33 percent would share with coworkers
- First time pregnant or soon-to-be pregnant parents don’t believe middle names are essential
- 44-53 percent of parents would remove a name from their favorites list if someone they know already has the name
When it comes to looking ahead for ultimate trends in 2021, gender neutral is the name of the game with 71 per of expecting parents opting for names that are great for boys or girls. Fifty nine percent of parents lean more towards traditional boy or girls name, and many parents are looking at a family name or one that celebrates their partner’s culture.
