While Grace has been the most popular girls’ name since 2018, other names appeared to have been influenced by celebrities, with the name North, which Kim Kardashian called her first daughter, registered in Northern Ireland. The data was recorded in the Baby Names 2022 statistics published on Monday by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. Hugo, Luca and Hudson were among the names climbing the charts, while some of the less common names given to boys in Northern Ireland in 2022 included King, Great, and Art.
