It might sound crazy, but people who wear these names are more likely to become parents in the year to come. So, ready to find out if you’re on the list?
It’s statistical! There are over 700,000 births in France each year – 736,000 babies were born in 2020 to be exact – and even taking into account the fact that 11,628 were double, triple or more births and that the birth rate is on a downward slope in France, that still makes more than 1,452,000 people who will become parents in the coming year.
To find out if you have more chances (or risks, it depends) of welcoming a baby within your couple this year, you just have to consult the list:

How were these lists of first names defined? By combining the INSEE data concerning the annual allocation of first names with those of parenthood and the average age of the first child in France.
Of course, you must also take into account other elements such as the rarity of your surname or your personal life course which means that, whatever your first name, this year may be the one during which you will see a little + on a pregnancy test.
