If you haven’t already stepped into the wonderful world of Bridgerton, then be warned because there may be some spoilers ahead. Set during the Regency era, the latest breakout series to hit Netflix follows London’s high society as they enter the competitive marriage market – also referred to as the ‘social season.’

But, with the season coming to a close – quite literally! The only natural progression for the Regency rich is to start having children. And with that, Award Winning Baby & Nursery Store Bella Baby are helping you choose your favourite baby name by putting a list together with the most popular regency baby names inspired by the characters in Bridgerton.

The highly acclaimed drama has been the series to talk about, from the inspired fashion to its racy storylines, but as with any hit show it brings trends of its own.  

“We predict that Regency-era names, just like those in Bridgerton, will rise in popularity following the immense success of the show.  Popular Netflix shows have led the way in baby name trends for some time now, and we think this will be no different for the latest breakout series of Bridgerton.” 

“Who knows, we may have lots of Daphne’s and Simon’s running about pretty soon!”
