These are the most popular music-inspired baby names of the decade so far
When it comes to picking the perfect baby name for your little bundle of joy, you have probably spent a lot of time trawling through lists online - do you want a lesser used name from the list of baby names going extinct? Perhaps you feel inspired by these food and drink themed names. Or maybe you want your child to have a moniker that (supposedly) increases the likelihood of fame and success.
But if you fancy yourself as something of a music buff, you could turn to your favourite songs for a little help.
A new study by Confused.com analysed data from the Office of National Statistics to find out which musicians were most influential when it came to new parents picking the perfect moniker for their little ones - and some of the most popular names might surprise you!
For girls, the likes of Willow Smith, Florence Welch and Ariana Grande have become favourites for new parents and those with little boys have chosen names inspired by Zayn Malik of One Direction fame, John Lennon and Jimi Hendricks.
