    If you've fallen into the coronavirus baby boom category, you might be trawling the internet for a name that's the perfect fit.

    There are successful and famous baby names, rare baby names for anyone hoping for something unique and then there are the baby names that make the most money. And if you're hoping for a smarty pants these are the names to pick.

    But be careful - there are also some monikers that parents admit they regret bestowing on their little one. Oh dear.

    In our quest to find the most unusual names, it seems that many parents are turning to their favourite designer labels.

    The team over at Jewellerybox have delved into children's names in the UK to discover the most popular names inspired by fashion and beauty.

    'It's clear to see that it's not just our clothing and jewellery options that these brands are influencing!'
