When you are expecting a child, it is a moment of unparalleled happiness. But, after hearing the news, you have to think about the first name to give to this little one.

According to a study carried out in Australia, these are mainly first names which are worn by people who are fulfilled, and who are therefore in an environment conducive to them being happy. The first names in question mainly come from Anglo-Saxon countries, but they are also present in France, even if they are rarer. In the top 10 names of the happiest men, we find “Christopher” in last position, “Nigel”, “Craig” or even “Joshua” in first position. As far as female first names are concerned, “Vicky” is in last place in the ranking, closely followed by “Isobel” and “Susan”, far ahead of “Judy“. Enough to give you ideas if you are looking for a first name for your future little wonder.

Professor Joubert, in 1983, concluded that certain individuals had unusual, rather original first names, which could handicap them on a daily basis and have an impact on their academic success. A disadvantage that those with a more conventional first name would not have: “It could be that conventional first names, which strengthen self-esteem and which are better appreciated by teachers, facilitate school and university performance.” And you what do you think ?
