A professional baby namer has shared her predictions for naming trends in 2023, with "dark and moody" names rising in popularity.
Steph Coffield, 39, charges $50 for a list of name ideas based on the parent's specifications. She also shares her ideas on TikTok, which kickstarted her career as a naming expert.
The mum-of-three "stumbled into the career" after posting her thoughts about baby names on social media. She now has 214.5K followers and 10.1million likes on her account, @nameswithsteph.
When discussing names that could become popular next year, Steph suggested that "dark and moody" names could see a rise in usage.
She said: "I think romantic names like Argo, Draco, Knight, Raven and Zelda will be popular. Even Wednesday, like the show. Mystical names are doing well already."
The name expert has also predicted a rise in astronomy-based and celestial names, such as Luna and Aurora.
Steph also thinks that names which are traditionally nicknames - such as Libbie, Jack and Chris, will become more popular than the full length versions.
She said: "It's a trend that's already happening. Parents know they'll be calling their kid that name anyway, so they don't even bother with the full name."

But I pitched the idea of this story being a reconciliation between him and Rooster set against this mission that would take Rooster into this very dangerous situation, that they’d end up together across enemy lines, having to resolve their differences and work together to get back home. As soon as I pitched that idea, I could just see the wheels in Tom’s head start to turn and all of a sudden, he had a very emotional reason, a hook back into this character, and a reason to come back, because I think in his mind it was like a one in a million shot that we would be able to get it right. He kept saying, “Joe, we got to hit a bullet with a bullet.” And that was his line on this movie. And so, I certainly heard that in my head every day as we were making the film.
