News about baby names always seems to grab lots of attention around the world and according to the experts over at nameberry.com, 2019's trends will raise a lot of eyebrows as it's all about gender-neutrality.

 

With names like Jack and Sophie still as popular as ever in this country, but Mary, Ethel, Sheila, William, Patrick and John on the cusp of extinction, what's next on the horizon?

Dermot and Dave producer Maria Devereux explores the factors that will influence baby names in the new year, and beyond. 

She explains how Nameberry have broken it down into various categories:

- Colours

- Gems/Jewel-Related

- The Animal Kingdom

- Names beginning with 'F'

- Vintage Names

- 3-Letter Names

Out of these categories, here are some of the proposed names:

Royal

Onyx

Amethyst

Rex

Van

Frost

Finian

Jimmy

Grey

Sage

Falcon

Otter

Justice

Majority of these names are described as being 'nonbinary' - allowing a person the freedom to not be restricted to a gender-specific identity in the future.
