从伊瓦贝斯到贾斯平，虚构的婴儿名字呈上升趋势

根据英国育儿网站ChannelMum的一项新研究，像伊丽莎白和约瑟夫这样的名字由来已久，但并不适合新父母。在接受调查的1772名父母中，94%的人认为虚构的婴儿名字越来越受欢迎，三分之一的人声称独特的名字不仅会让孩子感到特别，还会让他们在社交媒体上脱颖而出（你可能已经猜到了)。因此，它们可以成为@ AnaveahFarrow，而不是成为美国英斯达上的@伊丽莎白史密斯39421 .

Still, the trend toward inventing a baby name isn't entirely creative—or entirely new. Some of the modern invented names—like Nevaeh ("Heaven" spelled backward) have been among the top favorites since the turn of the 21st century. (So don't pick them if you're hoping to give your child something truly unique!) Others solve a common new parent problem, where the parents can't settle on a single name—think Twilight's star-crossed lovers Edward and Bella who opted to smush their own mothers' names into Renesmee for their hybrid undead-human offspring.

According to ChannelMum's baby naming experts, these made-up names are at the top of the U.K. list of popular options:

If you're considering your own made-up name for your child, don't forget that unique names can bring their own set of headaches, as your child will constantly have to spell or pronounce the name for stumbling substitute teachers and customer service reps. (And don't even get me started on the lack of personalized keychains and mini souvenir license plates if you've got a unique name or spelling.) Is the hassle worth giving your child a name as unique as they're sure to be? That's up to you to decide.
