By Yay Cork February 7, 2018July 18, 2018

Worth keeping in mind if you’re expecting.

Studies have shown that people with names that are easy to pronounce tend to have a better shot at success in life, now a naming expert has come up with even more proof.

Traditional monikers such as Bill, William and Larry are among the top choices for baby boys.

However, the girls list features more unique names, with Gina and Iris making an appearance alongside Abigail and Salma.

These are her top ten names to consider if you’d like to raise a little millionaire…
