Fancy raising an Olympic sports star or Oscar-winning actor? Then you need to take a look at this baby names list for some inspiration.
New research by SmashCasinos analysed the first names of thousands of ‘winners’ across the worlds of entertainment and sport – from Academy Award winners to Wimbledon champions - to see which are the most common names to give your little one for an extra chance of being a winner.
Coming in as the top 'winning' boys' name is 'John' – think John Travolta, John Lennon, John F. Kennedy – followed by David, George, Tom and Paul. It's great to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son, Prince George, has one of the top names for winners!

In entertainment, the number one winning boys' name is George (another high five for the Prince!) like George Clooney and George Michael, while the top winning girls' name in entertainment is Anne – think Anne Hathaway and Anne Bancroft. Another royal connection here too with Princess Anne.
