Calling all expecting parents, Bridgerton is back and the Netflix show is already inspiring a return to traditional and adorable baby names.

A new report from The Edit by Silver Cross has revealed the popularity of some familiar Bridgerton character names over the past two decades from 1996 until now.

The regal names have been ranked based on data from the ONS Baby Names in England and Wales which was last updated in October 2020, just before the Regency romance first arrive on our screens.

An average was taken from these vintage names which were used to order their popularity.
