The Most Popular Baby Name of 2018 Will Definitely Surprise You

Naming a baby is a mammoth responsibility – choosing the moniker that your child will be known as for the rest of their life, and potentially shaping the person they become.

Should you go traditional or opt for a celebrity-style curveball like Apple or Blue?
