"We predict a surge in names ending in 'a' for boys (like Agastya, Vedant) and short, two-syllable Sanskrit words (Veda, Tara) that work seamlessly in the West ('Indo-Western' names)."
"Expect a rise in 'Cowboy Core' names (Dutton, Hayes) and 'Maximalist' names for girls (Amethyst, Persephone) as parents move away from the 'sad beige' minimalism of the 2010s."
"We are seeing a move away from long, compound names towards short, Quranic names with soft phonetics (e.g., Eshaal, Rayyan, Zaviyar). Parents are also revisiting classical Persian names that sound modern to the international ear."
"Nature names with a 'cottagecore' vibe (Willow, Ivy, Rowan) will continue to dominate, along with a resurgence of Welsh and Scottish heritage names being used throughout England."
Choosing a name from your ancestry is a powerful way to connect generations. Here is how to do it right.
Consider names that work in both cultures. Names like 'Maya', 'Leo', or 'Noah' are phonetic chameleons—they fit perfectly in London, Madrid, or Buenos Aires.
A name might sound beautiful but have a heavy meaning. Always verify the definition in the original language. In many cultures, a 'good meaning' is a form of blessing.
Decide between the traditional spelling (e.g., 'Siobhan') vs. the phonetic one ('Shavonne'). There is no wrong choice—only what works best for your family's daily life.
