In case that wasn’t enough pressure, research has found that statistically there are certain names that earn more money than others – so you also need to think long and hard about their financial future when picking out a name.

UK company Ask Traders analysed over 300 CEOs from some of the world’s largest companies, including Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Rolls Royce and Amazon, and compared the names with Adzuna’s salary data to find out which names earn the most money. They also took into account baby name trends for 2020.

When it comes to financial success, a few names came out on top.

Most successful girls names of 2020

Billie – AUD$77,000 (approximate average annual salary)

Eve – $75,000

Austin – $75,000

Ariana – $55,500
