EXPERTS have predicted the baby names which are set to be popular in February and Bridgerton-inspired monikers are high on the list.

As the nation continues with a national lockdown, parents are turning to TV and popular culture for inspiration, and Khai, Kamala and Daphne are on the rise.

Experts from Datingroo have looked at current trends in popular culture to find Khai and Kamala top February choices.

Singer Zayn Malik and model Gigi Hadid revealed they had named their newborn son Khai earlier this month.

Across the pond the election of the USA's first female Vice President could see impact being made over here too.

The name Kamala, which means 'lotus' in Sanskrit, is common amongst Indian and Asian cultures.

Meanwhile, Netflix's recent smash hit Bridgerton has been seen by over 60 million households worldwide, and the regency period drama is sure to inspire a few prospective parents.

Female baby names that are inspired from the characters include Daphne, Eloise, Marina, Siena and Penelope.

Their male counterparts offer more traditional options, such as Anthony, Colin, Simon and Benedict.

TOP BRIDGERTON-INSPIRED NAMES

Female baby names that are inspired from the characters include:

Daphne
Marina
Penelope
Prudence
Siena
Eloise

Male baby names inspired by the show:

Anthony
Benedict
Colin
Simon

Daphne didn't even make the top 100 most popular names for girls in 2020, so could 2021 change this?

Relationship expert, Alexander Patall from Datingroo commented: "Popular culture is always a source of inspiration for new baby names.

“It will be interesting to see how events such as the US election even down to new Netflix releases will shape the naming trends of those born now and into February, and whether these names will continue to grow in popularity throughout 2021."
