They’re not exactly child-friendly, but BBC hit thrillers Killing Eve and Bodyguard are set to inspire some of the most popular baby names next year, experts predict.
So if you’re an expectant parent, you may have already considered Eve or the more extravagant Villanelle, her nemesis, for your little one.
But some traditions never change, and Disney is still a big factor when it comes to new mums and dads picking their baby’s moniker.
Elsa and Anna from Frozen remain popular, but according to parenting website Baby Centre, some more outlandish names will see a huge rise among the crop of 2019.
The phenomenon is being dubbed the “box-set babies” as hit TV shows become the source for a whole trend of new names.
When it comes to Bodyguard, which is now the BBC’s biggest ever box set, the two principal characters David and Julia, played by Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes, will hardly raise many eyebrows.
