Exciting baby names can be chosen from online books or websites in the UK (Amelia Pearson)

When it comes to baby names, things get very interesting. It is not only that the parents are in to it, the relatives and other family members also flock in to choose the names. There have been certain interesting trends that have been followed of late in the trends of baby names in the UK. A lot of search has been devoted in gender neutral names. It has been seen that the latest trend is to find gender neutral names.

However, certain interesting features can be observed here too. For example, girls are more open to gender neutral names than boys. The boys on the other hand have less number of such examples. Parents like giving boys names UK to the girls more often than the other way round. Thus women with boy names are more common than men with girl names. This has been a remarkable trend not only in the UK but in almost all the English speaking countries of the world.

Another interesting thing that has come out of research is that in boys names UK, the stress lies on the very first vowel, but for girl names, it lies on the second vowel! Thus, for a 'Mathew' or a 'Joseph', the stress lies on the 'a' and the 'o' respectively, but for an 'Angelina' or a 'Victoria', the stress is more on the 'e' and the 'o' respectively. This is an interesting trend that has come out of intense research on names given to the babies in the UK.

A more funny thing is that for boys, the names that are more appealing have a monosyllable, like 'Matt' or 'Bill' or 'John'. Studies reveal that for girls, the more flowing and artistic the name is, the more is the appeal or attractiveness. Thus, a 'Josephine' or a 'Florence' seems more attractive than a 'Kate' or a 'Maria'! Of course these conclusions are debatable, but since they are outcome of intense research and study, they cannot be fully ignored!
