Stuck for baby names? Why not call your newborn something related to the world-wrecking pandemic? What a strange tribute to a vile year. Parents-to-be have been searching for controversial names when it comes to giving a precious title to a tot.
Most searched for baby names for 2021 are thought to be lockdown-inspired and based on popularity, although some names on the list may question the latter.
According to online marketplace OnBuy's research, "coronavirus baby names" have peaked to 140 per cent over the past year.
The name Corazon - which has come from the shuddering word 'coronavirus' - could be the most popular name for 2021, followed by Boris Johnson down the list - equally as shuddering for some.
As well as being warped with regards to name-gifting, it seems as though people's TV obsessions have also come into play when thinking about baby names for next year.
As if we didn't feel sorry enough for generations to come, here is the list of most popular potential names for 2021. Take a deep breath...
1. Corazon Coronavirus
2. Marty Ozark
3. Carole Baskin, Tiger King
4. Boris Johnson
5. Maura Higgins, Love Island
