Are these the top baby names for spring? Parenting site reveals most popular choices this season
A PARENTING site has revealed what they claim to be the top trend for baby names this season, with floral and tree-themed names coming out as the most popular for girls.
Parenting support site found that over 60 per cent of the parents they polled chose floral baby names for their daughters, while the remaining 40 per cent chose girls names that were themed around trees like Fern, Primrose and Blossom.
The site says their poll, which asked 403 UK based parents about their choice of baby name this spring, shows a nature-based trend for girls' names for this spring.
But the survey didn't seem to show a similar pattern for boys named in 2017, with the results being much more diverse.

However, the site claim the top three baby names for boys this spring are Owen, Maxwell and Neo.
Faye Mingo, Marketing Director at Emma’s Diary commented: “Interestingly, the results from our poll show that for girls, the seasonal theme of spring has a far greater influence on the baby naming process, than for boys.

"Choosing a name is a big decision for any parent to be but it seems that girls names take the lead in this case when it comes to the changing seasons.”
Emma's Diary have said that the trend for floral themed names may be thanks to the influence of A-List babies, including Willow Smith and Apple Martin.
