Meanwhile, Alexander came top among all the boys’ names - and is prominent in the fashion industry thanks to star designers Alexander McQueen and Alexander Wang. 

Alexander ranked highest on both ONS data for the number of children in the UK with the name and on the number of searches it receives on Nameberry, establishing its spot as the most popular fashion-related boys’ name in the UK.  

What's more, Anna - like US Vogue editor Anna Wintour - was the second most popular girls name while Michael - like Michael Kors - nabbed second place for in the boys ranking.

The third most popular boys’ name related to the fashion industry is John, shared by designers John Varvatos and John Galliano who was the head designer for Givenchy and Dior.
