Keira Knightley and Ashton Kutcher are the top celebrity inspirations for baby names in the UK today. All the little Keiras and Ashtons named after them will grow up alongside Judes (after Jude Law) and Scarletts (Scarlett Johansson), names which also make the top ten. Other celebrity-inspired names include Paris, Alexa and Rihanna for girls and Leonardo, Romeo and Guy for boys, according to the internet family history website findmypast.com. Debra Chatfield, marketing manager at findmypast.com, said: ‘Families and names are all important to us. It is fascinating to see how certain names have shown strong staying power, while other names haven’t survived social change or celebrity association. ‘There has been a revival of more traditional British names becoming popular again in recent years, with parents naming their children after grandparents and great-grandparents to ensure family names survive. ‘Possibly this is a reflection of the recent growth in popularity of researching your family tree, but Brits are also showing their creative flair with a plethora of celebrity and globally inspired names too.’
