If you're due to give birth in 2023 or are simply just curious, you might be wondering what baby names are set to be popular in 2023 and which baby names we'll be leaving in 2022.
While we sadly can't see into the future, Vitabiotics have analysed government data from 1996 to 2022 to identify trends and make an expert prediction based on year-on-year ranking increases and the number of babies born with each name every year.
To give you an idea of what to expect, here are the top twenty names for boys and girls that may be popular in the new year.

Top girl baby names 2023
For girls' names, 14 out of the 20 names below have been influenced by TV, film, and celebrity culture, a trend that is unlikely to go out of fashion any time soon. Nature-inspired baby names are likely to improve in popularity next year, with the top spot being scooped by Ivy which has moved up 221 places since 2010. It's also likely that we'll see an increase in gender-neutral names such as Harper, made popular by David and Victoria Beckham’s daughter.
