Baby Names of 2022 Wrap Up
Choosing a name when you are expecting is a tough decision to make before your little one arrives. It becomes part of their identity and follows them through their life journey, so there is just a little bit of pressure. We wanted to give all of our snuggly parents a hand, so as we approach the end of the year, we have decided to do a wrap-up of all our favourite baby names from the past year, and give you some inspiration for all the most popular names of 2022!
