It’s official; UK-based website BabyCentre recently released a list of the least popular baby names so far this year.

But, while some may assume that these names are best to be avoided, they couldn’t be more wrong.

After all, if there’s one thing every parent wants from their baby’s moniker, it’s that it be beautiful AND unique.

Which is why, although the Jacks and Mias may be amongst the most popular baby names, it’s probably best to steer clear of them for now.

You know, just to stop your little one being one of MANY kids of the same name when it comes to the classroom register.

Instead, it’s best to look towards the names that AREN’T getting a lot of action in 2016 - just to keep things on the unique side.
