UK’s most misspelt names revealed as Niamh and Aaron cause most confusion


Niamh and Aaron are the most commonly misspelt names in the UK, according to new research - with a study of Google search data also revealing the most searched-for names of 2022

Faye Mingo, the Chief Marketing Officer at BabyCentre, said: "The top names for both boys and girls have remained largely consistent with last year's picks, but a few notable trends have emerged. Margot has become a popular girl's name, possibly due to the success of Margot Robbie in the 2023 movie Barbie (Image: © 2023 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved..

Margot and Gabriella have made their debut in the girls' top 100, landing at 88 and 99 respectively, adding a dash of classic Hollywood sparkle to the chart, according to BabyCentre data.
