A name expert predicts the baby monikers on the rise in the next decade - and says millennial names such as Heather and Danny are now "unfashionable".

Sophie Kihm, 27, has predicted the top 100 fastest rising names for 2025 to 2035.

She says we will start to see more names with a link to heritage - such as 'Fia' and 'Yuna'.

Sophie also says nature names continue to be on the rise - with names such as 'Pippit', 'Lark' and 'Hawk' becoming popular.

But the editor at Nameberry - a website devoted to baby names - says millennial names such as Ashley, Heather, Ellen, and Danny are declining in popularity.
