These are the best Bridgerton-inspired baby names (and you're going to love them all)


Last year, it was Tiger King, Too Hot To Handle and Emily In Paris that kept us glued to Netflix.
This year, it's all about Bridgerton, and if you haven't seen it - what else have you been doing?
From the beautiful regency dresses to the fact that the Duke of Hastings also appeared in Harry Potter, the world is obsessed.
And if you're thinking about baby names, you're probably trawling through the internet to find the best monikers - whether you're interested in royal inspired baby names or the names predicted to be most popular in the next ten years.
But why not combine baby names and Bridgerton?
