Naming your baby is one of the first and hardest decisions parents have to make but many people were inspired by similar choices.
Last week, The Peterborough Telegraph compiled a list of the most popular boys names for children in the Peterborough Registration District.
This week it’s the turn of the most popular girls names, alongside some famous faces who share the same names.
The baby names listed were the top 20 girls names – some of which rank in joint place – chosen in 2020, which is according to the latest available data.
There are many spelling variations of the names listed, which has been taken into account.
The number included in brackets under the photograph is how many times a baby in Peterborough was given that name in 2020.
Take a look at the photographs below to see if your baby girl’s name features:
