While much of the world has slowed and changed, babies are still being born. And having a baby still means parents are searching for the perfect name to give their children.
How do you decide? It is so personal! Some names are "classic" and stay relevant regardless of social influence, and some names are linked directly to significant cultural events.
We are halfway through 2020, and babies are still being born. With all of the global events that have happened in these first months, it's not hard to imagine a group of names that could come out of the news:
Names From The News:

Harry
Royal
Brexit
Duke
