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!
