21 baby girl names that will be everywhere in 2020

If you're looking for a new and upcoming name fit for a little girl, look no further than M&B's guide to the top baby names expected to be all the rage in 2020.

Baby name trends show that muted shades (think Lavender, Sage and Pearl) will be a hit with new parents, plus some cultural references have also influenced the list (think Greta and Billie).

With 63,000 unique baby names registered in 2017 and certain names now being shunned by parents, the list is always a-changing.

Top baby girl names 2020:

1) Greta

The German name has become popular thanks to 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg.

2) Isla

A much-loved moniker which has frequented every popular name list and isn't going anywhere in 2020.

Whether you remember it from JK Rowling's Luna Lovegood or are a big Chrissy Teigen fan (who isn't) we adore this magical name.

Meaning: Luna is of Latin origin meaning 'Moon'.
