Finding out a celebrity baby name is perhaps the most exciting part of the whole process. Who could forget when Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry finally revealed the oh-so-modern moniker for their son last year - Archie! Not the formal version, Archibald. Just plain, trendy Archie.
The influence A-list couples have on future name trends is huge - you only have to look in the surge of royal-inspired titles like George, Louis, Charlotte, and of course Archie, for proof.
