Move over, Sophia and Olivia – Bridgerton-inspired baby names are bound to be on the rise. It’s a pretty safe bet that Daphne, Simon, Colin, Penelope, and Eloise will shoot up the baby name charts next year
Baby name trends frequently reflect pop culture trends, so it will be of no great surprise if Bridgerton-themed names are going to gain in popularity. The acclaimed period drama is already sparking a Regencycore fashion trend and baby names will likely follow!
