Children With These Names Are Most Likely To Grow Up Successful

If you really want your kid to hit it big, researchers have helpfully narrowed down your options so start paying attention to these names now.

by Natalya Molok  /   February 23, 2018

Parents, pay attention to these names! You can name your baby according to zodiac sign, after Texan cowboys or in homage to literary icons. But if you really want your kid to hit it big, researchers have helpfully narrowed down your options. Analysts at UK job site Adzuna reportedly scanned half a million resumes to isolate the names linked to the highest salaries.

The winners for girls were Lily, Isabella, Ella, Amelia and Emily.

Boys named Oscar, George, Oliver, Thomas and Charlie were likeliest to deliver on their earning potential.

Looking for inspiration for the perfect moniker for your child? Here’s a list of pointers for you parents-to-be:

Children With These Names Are Most Likely To Grow Up Successful
Don't make it too difficult to say
image

A successful name must be easy to pronounce. It must roll off the tongue so when people, inevitably, talk about your child, it sounds beautiful and natural – something they want to say.

Think about how it sounds with your surname

The name must also sound good in relation to your family name. So, before you settle on a name for your child, try the phone call test – pick up a phone and pretend to answer with the first name and surname together. See how well they blend.

Keep your baby's siblings in mind
image

You should also think about how your child’s name fits alongside yours, or those of their siblings. An important part of growing up with confidence and success is feeling as though you belong, and this could be hard when your name sets you apart from the pack.

Don't go for random nouns or brands
image

Avoid any words that already exist, but aren’t names. People will already have forged associations with these words, and these attitudes may not be conducive to success. For example, avoid brand names at all costs.

Remember that your baby will not always be a baby
image

A name that brings success should work equally well for your child at any time throughout their life. They should not be given a baby name just because they are a baby, because they will be stuck with it forever. Ensure you choose an adult name for your child, and shorten it when they are younger if you wish.

If you have any doubts at all, choose another name
image

You must feel good about the name, and comfortable with your choice. If you have doubts about the name, so will your child. Try to ensure that their name is free from any negative connotation – be this through word association, links to negative individuals, or rhyme.

Choose a name that fits with your heritage
image

Your child’s name should fit the cultural background of your family. It is much harder to be successful and establish yourself in a particular area when you are constantly fighting to escape a name-imposed preconception.

Don't overthink it
image

Keep it short and simple. A name should not feel crowded, or be difficult to spell or pronounce. It must be striking, yes, but also sound natural – and not a word that you have simply created to be different.
