Names Jack and Chloe have again topped the lists for the most popular names given to children in the last year - but how do naming trends arise? Why do some names become popular and others fall out of favour? And why are certain characteristics associated with certain names: could you ever have a romantic heroine called Mildred, or a dashing hero called Nigel?
We hear from Julia Cresswell, an author of books on babies names, on the influence of celebrities, and Sophie Weston, a romantic novelist, on whether names can really change your life, for better or worse...
